"Discomfort is the foundation for growth" Jang Wonyoung on the public eye
Jang Wonyoung of the group Ive spoke candidly about the public interest directed toward her and the emotions she experiences in the process.
In a pictorial and interview for the August issue of fashion magazine Arena Homme Plus released on the 13th, Jang Wonyoung admitted that the public eye is not always sweet. At the same time, she added her own unique attitude toward accepting it.
Regarding public attention and influence, Jang Wonyoung said, "As with everything in the world, I don't think it's just good or just bad." She continued, "Of course, there can be uncomfortable parts, but I tend to enjoy those things," showing that she accepts both positive and negative reactions as influences that come her way.
In this pictorial, Jang Wonyoung showcased various concepts, ranging from pure white styling to intense red looks and mysterious close-up shots. Collaborating with a luxury cashmere brand, the pictorial captured Jang Wonyoung's unique atmosphere.
"I'm not trying hard on purpose" Lucky Vicky is an innate personality
She also shared clear thoughts on the keyword 'Lucky Vicky,' which has recently established itself as a cultural phenomenon. While many believe Jang Wonyoung intentionally tries to think positively, she emphasized that it is actually her innate nature.
Jang Wonyoung explained, "I'm not trying to live positively on purpose; I've always lived this way." She mentioned that the term 'Lucky Vicky' even came up during interviews, noting the situation where what is natural to her appears special to the public.
She continued, "It's natural to me, but since people often focus on the positive aspects, there are times when I find myself asking, 'Why do I think this way?'" However, she expressed her desire to maintain her true self, saying, "I just want to keep living like this."
