During a dessert mukbang on the 'Today's Joo Woo-jae' YouTube channel, IVE's Jang Won-young revealed her preference for intense sweetness over mild flavors while tasting six trending items, including Hanjeongseon Fruit Rice Cake and Seongsuryul Wakppu Salt Bread.

In a video released through the YouTube channel 'Today's Joo Woo-jae', IVE's Jang Won-young appeared as a guest to taste various desserts alongside Joo Woo-jae, sharing their distinct dessert philosophies. According to the video description, the cast introduced trending items through a dessert mukbang.

"No to vague sweetness"... Jang Won-young's firm standards for sugar

Jang Won-young, who stated she usually enjoys sweet foods, revealed a unique conviction in her attitude toward desserts. While noting, "I prefer things that are prettier and sweeter than meal bread," she presented uncompromising standards regarding the intensity of flavor. "If it's vaguely sweet, I'd rather eat rice," she added, stating she prefers a "sweetness that hits the tongue." Conversely, she expressed that she does not understand the common Korean expression "it's delicious because it's not sweet."

Joo Woo-jae agreed with Jang Won-young's opinion, emphasizing the happiness provided by sweetness and questioning negative views toward it by asking, "How much happiness does sweetness provide?" The two showed differences in how they enjoy desserts; while Joo Woo-jae is a gourmet who focuses primarily on the taste itself, Jang Won-young showed her side as a "pretty gourmet" who enjoys visual elements and atmosphere.

Reviewing 6 types of desserts, from Hanjeongseon rice cakes to Wakppu salt bread

The two tasted six different types of desserts that have become topics of conversation on social media platforms like Instagram. Regarding the first item, 'Hanjeongseon Fruit Rice Cake,' Jang Won-young expressed satisfaction with the composition containing Shine Muscat yogurt. She provided specific feedback, noting, "I think it would be even more delicious if there were more yogurt." While acknowledging the quality of the product, Joo Woo-jae added that fame and uniqueness of taste are separate matters, stating, "Being delicious and being special are different things. I'm not sure if it's both delicious and special."

During the tasting of 'Patisserie Fruits Petit Fruit,' the visual elements of the dessert stood out. Looking at the dessert shaped like fruit, Jang Won-young emphasized the fun of enjoying it with her eyes. Joo Woo-jae experienced recent dessert trends by tasting 'Seongsuryul Wakppu Salt Bread' and 'Heureut Fruit Sando.' In particular, regarding a dessert known to be a work by a chef who appeared on Culinary Class Wars, Joo Woo-jae shared his honest impression that "it tastes like cake sold at old-fashioned bakeries."

'Chemistry' viewed through MBTI

During the dessert talk, MBTI questions were asked to identify their personalities. Joo Woo-jae guessed Jang Won-young's MBTI to be 'ENFJ,' but Jang Won-young corrected him, stating she is 'ENTJ.' She then correctly guessed Joo Woo-jae's MBTI as 'ISTP,' creating a sense of connection as they shared the same type. Jang Won-young continued the pleasant atmosphere by mentioning herself and Myeong-su as famous ISTPs in the entertainment industry.
