Ice cream, which was released earlier this month by a food company, suddenly stopped selling.

It's this product.

Four heart shapes come together to create a four-leaf clover pattern and it says "Lucky Vicky Mozzi."

The company promoted this product, saying it is for students who are about to take the CSAT.The inclusion of the word '∀}
'LuckyVicky' in the product name became an issue.

'Lucky Vicky' is a word that Jang Won-young, a member of the girl group IVE, often mentioned by combining her English name 'Lucky' and 'Vicky'.It has become a 'new word' as it is widely used among young people to mean,

, 'Let's accept the reality we face positively.'

However, Jang Won-young is not the model of this product, and it became controversial when it was revealed that he cited the buzzword in the product name without asking for understanding from the company.

As the voice of criticism grew, the company eventually decided to stop selling the product, saying, "We did not take a close look during the planning process."

However, some said that criticism is excessive, asking if there is a trademark right in buzzwords.
