A memory system includes a memory device and a controller. The memory device includes a memory cell array including a normal memory cell area and a redundancy memory cell area, the redundancy memory cell area having a replacement memory cell region and a reserved memory cell region; a register suitable for generating a first signal indicating existence of the reserved memory cell region; and a fuse unit suitable for activating the reserved memory cell region based on the first signal. The controller assigns an address for accessing a reserved memory cell of the reserved memory cell region based on the first signal. A replacement memory cell in the replacement memory cell region replaces a failed memory cell in the normal memory cell region, and the reserved memory cell in the reserved memory cell region remains without replacing any failed memory cell in the normal memory cell region.
