‘Never Did I Think’: Lydia Ko Sends Strong Message to Vogue as She Follows Nelly Korda’s Footsteps
Lydia Ko is just 27, and she has already reached the zenith of success. Not only has she bagged 22 wins on the LPGA Tour in the past decade, but is also the only female golfer to have bagged Olympic medals of all three colors. In the 2024 Paris Olympics, she won the gold medal and that paved the way for her long-awaited dream. Lydia Ko earned a place in the LPGA Hall of Fame as its 35th member, making history as the youngest player ever to receive the honor.
That same year, she was also awarded the title of Dame in New Zealand in recognition of her contributions to golf. And now, she seems to have once again achieved a new milestone. Iconic fashion magazine Vogue Korea designated March as ‘Vogue Women’s Month’ and launched the ‘Vogue Leaders: 2024 Woman Now’ campaign in 2024. On February 20, 2024, Vogue Korea revealed the full lineup of 24 covers for their March 2024 issue, showcasing remarkable women from the entertainment, arts, and fashion industries.
Featured on the covers were celebrated figures from various generations and fields, including figure skater Kim Yuna, actress Go Hyun Jung, Taeyeon, IVE’s Jang Won Young, and more. The campaign aimed to highlight the accomplishments of women across different fields through content, exhibitions, and discussions. A portion of the proceeds from the campaign was donated to the Korean Women’s Foundation, supporting the discovery and advancement of female talent. The same edition will be returning this year to continue its tribute to women’s contributions.
