Red Velvet's Yeri shared nostalgic memories from her trainee days during an episode of the web entertainment show 'Jjanhan Hyeong,' released on July 1st, featuring Red Velvet members Seulgi, Joy, and Yeri.

Joy reflected on their early days, noting, "We had to strictly follow company rules and traditional norms." She added, "One rule was always using polite speech. Despite having younger sisters, we couldn't speak casually like friends."

Joy mentioned the challenges faced by Seulgi and Wendy, who were used to being the youngest at home, adjusting to their roles in the group.

When Yeri joined, Joy recalled a shift in dynamics. "Initially, we used formal language, but Yeri suddenly suggested using informal speech between us," Joy shared. "It made a significant difference. Yeri's initiative helped break down barriers, and our team vibe improved a lot. It was refreshing."

Yeri described herself as straightforward, revealing her nickname Ajelim and preference for food trucks over prepared places. She fondly remembered meeting Seulgi for the first time at age 12 when Seulgi had an apple haircut and wore a school uniform.

Reflecting on her trainee days, Yeri humorously noted the disappearance of her cell phone upon debut, jokingly attributed to senior idols causing "explosive" issues with cell phones.

The candid revelations on 'Jjanhan Hyeong' shed light on Red Velvet's journey and the bond that has evolved among the members over the years.

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!
