Jang Won-young, who went to Spain, couldn't buy bread, so he said it was rather good.

[Jang Won-young / "IVE" member: The person in front of me bought all the top chocolates I was going to buy, so I got the bread that came out too lucky!] As expected, the lucky goddess is on my side!]

After that, a post that summarizes the "wantastic thinking" that thinks of everything positively became popular on social media.At the end of

The cute wording has become a word used by celebrities in public.

[Hwang Jung-min / Actor: (I didn't focus on my pupils when you did "Lucky Vicky") Ha. "Lucky Vicky"]

[Park Sang-young / Writer: How much are you trying to promote our work? It's "Lucky Vicky." I felt really good like this.]

Pelican thinking, which means that even if the food is big, you can try it like a pelican who puts it in your mouth and watches it.

These words, which mean a positive mindset, are being used in various ways.

Even if you look at it in recent years, buzzwords in the sense of being wary of negative thinking have steadily appeared.

'I rather like it', 'Let's go', 'The important thing is an unbreakable mind', 'I still have to do it', 'It's a rock'

Jeong Ha-eun, an office worker in her 30s, enjoys making four-leaf clover-shaped accessories and giving them to people around her.

This is because the meaning of the four-leaf clover is more special.

[Jeong Ha Eun / Gimpo City, Gyeonggi Province: My friends liked it the most (with a four-leaf clover shaped key ring) and I heard a lot of people say thank you for giving me good luck, so I made a four-leaf clover shape and gave it as a gift]

Emphasizing positive thinking and wishing for good luck is gaining great sympathy in society as a whole.

[Lee Jae-heon / Lead researcher at the 20th Institute of Tomorrow University: (In the past) If there was a wish and wish for the result, I think there are a lot of stories about internalizing a positive attitude now.]
