IVE member Jang Wonyoung has shared her honest thoughts about living under constant public attention, revealing how she accepts both positive and negative reactions as part of her journey.
Jang Wonyoung appeared as the cover model for an August magazine issue, showing a soft and dreamy image through various photos. The photoshoot captured different moods through her expressions, eyes, and poses, highlighting her calm and warm charm.
During the interview, Jang Wonyoung discussed the attention she receives as one of the most recognized figures in the K-pop industry. According to The Chosun, she admitted that public interest can have both comfortable and uncomfortable sides, but she chooses to view it as something that can help her grow.
"Like everything in the world, I don't think it's entirely good or entirely bad. Of course, there might be uncomfortable parts, but I tend to enjoy those things," Jang Wonyoung said. "Whether it's positive or negative, I think it eventually becomes a good influence on me, so I try to accept and enjoy everything humbly."
Jang Wonyoung Explains Why She Stays Positive
Her balanced attitude toward fame has often been connected to the phrase "Lucky Vicky," a nickname inspired by her optimistic way of thinking.
The phrase became popular among fans because of her ability to find positive meaning in different situations. Jang Wonyoung explained that she does not force herself to stay positive and that the mindset comes naturally to her.
"I don't try to be positive on purpose; I've always lived this way," she said. "Even during interviews, 'Lucky Vicky' came out naturally. It's just natural to me." She also admitted that she sometimes reflects on why she thinks this way when people continue to highlight her positive personality.
"When people often focus on my positive side, I sometimes ask myself, 'Why do I think this way?' Still, I hope to keep living like this," she shared, Koreaboo reported.
IVE recently continued their global activities by successfully holding their second world tour, "SHOW WHAT I AM," at Tokyo Dome in Japan last month.
