Ive's Jang Wonyoung mentioned the craze surrounding the ‘Lucky Vicky’ meme.
On the 15th, Jang Wonyoung and An Yujin appeared as guests on tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’.
On that day, Jang Wonyoung opened up about the ‘Lucky Vicky’ meme, saying, “To me, it was a very natural and everyday thought. I didn’t think it was special.”
Jang Wonyoung shared, “My English name is Vicky. I went to Spain during a tour, and after waiting a long time at a famous bakery, all the bread was sold out in front of me.” She continued, “But they said if I waited a little longer, new bread would come out. I thought, ‘Isn’t it lucky that I can eat new bread instead?’ I told that story to my fans, and from that moment, ‘Lucky Vicky’ became widely known. When I woke up in the morning, it had become a meme that everyone was using.”
Jang Wonyoung stated, “Since ‘Lucky Vicky’ is a way of thinking positively, it can be confused with self-justification. The ‘Lucky Vicky’ I use is about finding small happiness in everyday life and feeling gratitude within it.”
She added, “I think I’ve lived like this since I was young. I can say I’m optimistic; when something bad happened, rather than focusing on the bad situation, I thought about what would come next. I don’t think I’ve ever been isolated by bad things.”
Meanwhile, ‘You Quiz on the Block’ airs every Wednesday at 8:45 PM.
