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.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
