Rei, a member of the K-pop group ‘IVE’, recently opened up about what her fellow members mean to her.

In a video titled ‘Attack of Kongsooni… IVE Rei Returns to HEYA | Park Junhyung & Brian XYOB EP.7’ uploaded on the YouTube channel ‘JohnMaat’ on the 10th, Rei shared some heartfelt thoughts.

During the video, Brian asked Rei, “What do each of the members mean to you?” Rei’s response was endearing, as she said, “Starting with Leeseo, she’s like a baby, a daughter to me,” which caught everyone’s attention.

Rei added, “Seeing her grow up, it feels like I’ve become a parent,” and shared that “Leeseo is in her adolescence. There are many times when she says, ‘This can’t be!’” revealing a heartwarming moment.

Rei continued to share, “Wonyoung is like an idol, even to me. She’s really cool on stage,” and about Yujin, she confessed, “Yujin unnie is the leader, so she was actually scary in the past.”

However, she added, “But after getting to know her, it wasn’t that, but she had her own worries and was thinking for us.”

When it came to who she thinks is the prettiest member, Rei picked Liz. She shared, “I used to go to Japan often because of school when I was in middle school. When I came back, Liz was there,” and added, “I fell in love with Liz at first sight. She was so pretty when she was a trainee. I thought, ‘How can such a girl exist in this world?’” causing laughter.
