• WJSN's Bona Revealed That Many People Recognized Her Now Thanks To "Twenty Five Twenty One" But Didn't Know She Was An Idol

    WJSN's Bona relayed the reactions of viewers of "Twenty Five, Twenty One".

    In MBC's "Omniscient Interfering View", which aired on April 16, WJSN Bona appeared as a guest and talked in the studio.

    On this day, Jeon Hyun Moo asked, "Bona is creating a name for himself with the drama 'Twenty Five, Twenty One'. When do you feel the most popular?".

    In response, Bona replied, "Originally, people didn't recognize me even if I wore a hat and a mask, but now they do right away, and I realize it when I look at my schedule table".

    In particular, Bona smiled, saying that people didn't know she was an idol. Bona shuddered, saying, "Everyone believed it was Yurim's double life, and they said it couldn't be matched when they saw her fancam as an idol".

    Lee Young Ja said, "You were so good at acting. It feels like Ko Yu Rim is doing a side job as Bona".

    The MCs also asked, "Did the next work come in?" Bona said, "I've had quite a few offers. The reactions were much better than I thought", adding "I'm staying happy and warm".

    Bona acted as Ko Yu Rim, a national fencing player at Taeyang High School, on tvN's "Twenty Five, Twenty One", which recently ended.

    In this work, Bona received a lot of favorable reviews for her perfectly assimilated performance to the character to the point where she erased the title of an idol-turned-actress.

    Meanwhile, Bona debuted as a member of WJSN seven years ago and started acting with "Hit the Top" and appeared in a number of series such as "Girls' Generation 1979" and "Your House Helper".

  • IVE's Ahn Yujin Opens Up About How aespa's Karina Reached Out to Her First After Wanting to Get Closer

    IVE's Ahn Yujin just shared a sweet story about her friendship with aespa's Karina, and fans are loving the adorable details!

    On January 28, Ahn Yujin appeared on Salon Drip 2 and got candid about how her friendship with Karina began.

    During the show, Jang Do Yeon asked Ahn Yujin if she had ever talked to Karina, who is also a leader, about the struggles of being in charge after they performed on stage together.

    Ahn Yujin revealed, “I’ve wanted to get closer to Karina for a while. I’ve focused on just becoming friends, so we didn’t really talk deeply yet, but I want to ask her more about it. Our teams are very different, but they’re all so amazing!”

    When asked how she approached Karina, Ahn Yujin shyly admitted, “The first time we met was through a challenge. Karina’s team wanted to take photos with me, and I made sure to dress nicely. I was so nervous!"

    She added, "I had two things I wanted to ask: ‘Can I call you unnie?’ and ‘Can I get your number?’ But I couldn’t bring myself to do it because there were just too many things on my mind. I wanted to talk well, dance well, and look good on camera.”

    Ahn Yujin then explained that after a collaboration stage offer came up, she thought of Karina and even got her number through a mutual acquaintance. But, worried about making Karina feel uncomfortable, Ahn Yujin didn’t contact her right away. Instead, she waited until Karina contacted her first!

    Ahn Yujin shared, “I heard Karina was talking about me, so I thought I should contact her. But then, she contacted me first,” looking genuinely touched. Jang Do Yeon teased, “You both are so cute! Are you getting close now?”

    With a bright smile, Ahn Yujin responded, “Yes! We’ve decided to have a meal together soon.” She also thanked Karina for being so kind, especially when Karina texted her after practice, saying she had worked hard.

    Ahn Yujin revealed, “Lately, I keep asking her if it’s okay to post pictures of us on social media,” showing just how strong their growing friendship is.
