    In a light-hearted moment, MC Jang Do Yeon was asked by GABEE who she thought was her age. Jang jokingly replied, "I look like Taemin's second sister," making everyone laugh.

    GABEE’s appearance on K-Pop Star and her fun anecdotes about her classmates definitely gave fans a new perspective on the choreographer's early days in the entertainment industry!
