All of these efforts are driving the film’s rising pre-sale numbers.

The film is also drawing attention for its star-studded cast, which includes not only Song Hye Kyo but also Jeon Yeo Bin, Lee Jin Wook, and Moon Woo Jin, all of whom deliver impressive performances.

Kwon Eun Bi recently opened up about the generation gap she felt with Jang Wonyoung during their time together in IZ*ONE.

On April 4, Kwon Eun Bi made a guest appearance on the YouTube channel “Workman”, where she worked with host Jang Sung Kyu as a luxury car mechanic.

During the episode, Kwon Eun Bi shared, “When we were active in IZ*ONE, I was the oldest member, and there was a 9-year age gap with the youngest member, Jang Wonyoung (born in 2004).”

Jang Sung Kyu teased her, saying, “So, you were like her aunt,” to which Kwon Eun Bi responded with a laugh, “More like her teacher!” This playful comment got everyone laughing.

Jang Sung Kyu then asked, “Did you feel the generation gap, especially when talking?” Kwon Eun Bi reminisced, “We were singing the song ‘It’s Already One Year’, and Jang Won Young asked, ‘What’s that?’ That’s when I felt the generation gap. It’s a song I used to sing a lot at karaoke—it’s a real nostalgic classic.” ‘It’s Already One Year’ was a hit song by Brown Eyes, released in June 2001.

Jang Sung Kyu commented, “Your generation is similar to mine,” but Kwon Eun Bi quickly replied, “Oh, no, that’s not true!” causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Kwon Eun Bi’s candidness about the generational difference in IZ*ONE had fans reminiscing about the unique chemistry and moments from their time together in the group.
