IVE's Jang Wonyoung has taken the spotlight on the cover of a fashion magazine.

On July 11, Harper's Bazaar unveiled its August issue cover featuring Jang Wonyoung in collaboration with the Italian luxury fashion brand Miu Miu.

Jang Wonyoung has been an ambassador for Miu Miu since 2021. Notably, she became the youngest cover model in the magazine's history at the age of 18.

Jang Wonyoung embodied a wide range of captivating looks, from a soft, girlish charm to the shoot’s main concept, ‘Ice Princess.’



In the interview following the shoot, Jang Wonyoung shared her philosophy on the widespread trends 'Lucky Biki' and 'Wonyoung's Way of Thinking' that have captivated audiences across all ages.

Jang Wonyoung expressed, "What I've realized is that effort always comes back to you like a boomerang in some form. If the results haven't followed, it just means the time hasn't come yet," and added, "Instead of feeling discouraged, it's better to think 'my efforts are sprouting somewhere right now,'" reflecting her signature bright and positive energy.

She also spoke about IVE's third mini-album 'IVE EMPATHY' and its title track 'ATTITUDE.' She picked the line ‘Even if I stumble, luck is always on my side’ as her favorite lyric, Jang Wonyoung revealed the story behind her English name 'Biki,' which is derived from the nickname for the goddess of victory, Victoria. "My mom named me that so I would always win, and it's amazing how it led to 'Lucky Biki' today," she shared.

Additionally, she said, "Like the lyrics, I've been saying 'the goddess of luck is on my side' since kindergarten. I believe words have power. So, even if I face challenges, luck will ultimately be on my side," exuding her charm as an 'icon of positivity.'

Meanwhile, IVE, featuring Jang Wonyoung, is set to perform as the first K-pop girl group invited to 'Lollapalooza Berlin' at Olympiastadion & Olympiapark Berlin on July 12 (local time), where they will deliver a 55-minute solo stage.
