On this day, Jang Won-young said of 'Lucky Vicky"It was a very natural and living accident for me. "I didn't think it was special..." he said of Lucky Vicky's etymology. "My English name goes off. It happened during the tour, and I've been to Spain. At that time, I waited for a long time at a famous bakery and all the bread was sold out in front of me. But I heard that a new bread will come out if you wait a little bit. Rather, I thought it was a lucky move to be able to eat new bread. I told the fans that story, but from then on, Lucky Vicky became known in an instant. It became a meme used by everyone."

Jang Won-young then commented on the definition of 'LuckyVicky'"It might be confusing with self-justification because it's such a positive thinking, but I used it to find small happiness in my daily life and to appreciate it.", he explained.

And I've never really been isolated from bad things. 'This will also pass by' is the right thing to say" he said.

Jang Won-young said, `Originally, my future dream was to be an announcer.' He said "I happened to go to my sister's graduation and got cast there. What I think is fateful is that he picked me and left three days after I joined the company. I haven't seen him since. "He picked me and left." It was surprising to reveal the behind-the-scenes story of the agency's casting.




He also confessed an anecdote about dieting when he was a trainee. Jang Won-young "At that time, each individual meal ticket came out one a day. I got a meal ticket that the diet sisters didn't use, so I ate two servings. At that time, he was 14 years old, so it was time to eat a lot and grow up."

I want to read it at dawn and as soon as I wake up, I want to see it. He confessed that he was afraid or worried as he unconsciously thought, 'How will someone else look at me?'

When asked about his concerns, Jang Won-young said, `I think happiness is the most important thing, but when you do this, don't you hear a lot of things that are done by others or heard by others. In fact, Jang Won-young may not listen to it and want to do something else, but she is stressed whenever she is unintentionally done. It's my biggest concern."

At the same time, he opened up about his attitude toward malicious comments. Jang Won-young said, `It doesn't really hurt me to judge people who have never seen me person-to-person, and people who know only a few about me by watching a few seconds of video. 'There are people like that. But there are more people who like me. I think that's it"Of course, I'll take the wrong part and fix it. I think you're twice as lucky if you don't give in to the ordeal and go to the next step. I will always carry the words 'No pain without compensation' in my heart and go into the entertainment industry and my life" he said.
