Entertainer Jang Young-ran recently shared a flustering experience where a sudden transportation payment error left her stranded during her solo trip to Paris, France.
On May 13, a video titled “Shocking future of Jang Young-ran’s family seen by a French fortune teller with a crystal ball? (Solo Paris Part 2)” was uploaded to the channel ‘A-Class Jang Young-ran’. In the clip, Jang Young-ran prepared to meet her close colleague Shim Jin-hwa in front of the Louvre Museum, but she hit a snag when her Uber app payments were repeatedly declined.
Clearly panicked by the failed payments, Jang Young-ran asked herself, “Did I hit my card limit? Why isn’t this working?” Struggling with both the payment and location settings in an unfamiliar city, she expressed her desperation, saying, “If I can’t get an Uber while I’m all alone, I’m really finished.” After a series of mishaps, she finally reunited with Shim Jin-hwa, tearing up with relief. The video also featured the duo visiting a local fortune teller for Turkish coffee and crystal ball readings. The fortune teller gave Shim Jin-hwa a positive prediction, saying she is “destined to fly high like a bird,” while other readings about her family and children left Shim Jin-hwa emotional.
Through her Paris travelogue, Jang Young-ran won over viewers by showing not only her signature positive energy but also the raw, realistic struggles of traveling abroad. Her tenacity in reaching her destination, even while worrying about her card limit, provided plenty of laughs. This human side of Jang Young-ran, contrasting with her glamorous TV persona, once again proved why she remains such a beloved influencer.
Netizens reacted with comments such as, “I totally get how Jang Young-ran felt; it’s a total mental breakdown when Uber doesn’t work overseas,” “They must be really close for her to cry upon meeting Shim Jin-hwa,” “The French fortune teller’s readings are so fascinating,” and “It’s so courageous and cool to see her traveling alone.”
