KISS OF LIFE member Julie recently opened up about a funny experience she had due to cultural differences while living in Korea.

In the upcoming episode of JTBC's "Knowing Bros," airing on November 2nd, special guests Brian, Sam Hammington, Julie, and Natty will share their unique experiences in Korea, promising to entertain viewers with their stories.

During the episode, Natty talks about how her dance video from her last appearance on "Knowing Brothers" caught a lot of attention, even leading to a collaboration offer from Jay Park.

In a playful moment, Julie jokes about feeling jealous, saying, "I was almost brought to tears because I was so jealous that only Natty got to appear on 'Knowing Bros.'" She adds that this has motivated her to work even harder during the recording.

Julie, who moved to Korea from Hawaii, recalls a moment on the subway shortly after arriving when she felt treated oddly, highlighting how cultural differences can sometimes lead to misunderstandings.

Sam Hammington, who has lived in Korea for 22 years, shares a memory from his early days, saying, "When I was a rookie, I drank cold donggulre cha (herbal tea) every day."

He also talks about how waiting room culture has changed over the years, humorously noting, "It seems that the younger generation doesn't value manners as much as we did," which gets a good laugh from everyone on set.

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!
