I fell in love with Jang Wonyoung, I watched many fancams. She’s a face you’ll see once in a millennium. I was mesmerized by her and I got the offer.

But she revealed that the original line for the song got rejected by both her and IVE’s agency.

The original line I wrote was, ‘I am someone’s Dreams come true.’

(I’m your dream) If Jang Wonyoung says so, who will disagree.

IVE has a bit of a narcissist concept. But even their agency said it’s too much. They wanted to change the subject. So I edited it to ‘You are someone’s dreams come true.’

Netizens also agreed that the lyrics were perfect for Wonyoung!

• “It’s perfect for Wonyoung!”
• “I love the lyrics to ‘I AM’.”
• “Seriously who can disagree!”
• “I love both lyrics, but I think ‘You are’ is more relatable.”
