NewJeans’ Live Broadcast Talking About Hanni Speaking On Workplace Bullying Triggers Backlash

On October 20, the entire group did a Phoning live stream together, following their second night of performances at the Coke STUDIO LIVE 2024 in Japan.

The group entertained fans in various ways during the broadcast, including a portion where Haerin played the piano.

At one point during the stream, the group mention the “Lucky Vicky” meme. The concept originated with Jang Wonyoung, whose English name is Vicky, and is based on her positive mindset in thinking she is lucky all the time, regardless of the circumstances.

It’s a boring Thursday, but thanks to ‘M Countdown’, if I hang in there for just one more day, it would be the weekend! I’m totally a lucky Vicky.

The members talk about how Wonyoung created the concept, with the members calling her a princess at one point.

Minji: That’s so cute!
Hanni: She’s a princess, she’s just a princess
Hanni: All of our sunbaenims are princesses, everyone’s a princess

Fans loved the unexpected mention of Wonyoung during the broadcast and agree with NewJeans’ thoughts completely!
