STAYC’s Sieun brought some serious laughs with her father, legendary singer Park Nam Jung, on JTBC's Knowing Bros during the Lunar New Year special on January 25!

In this special episode, Sieun introduced herself as a “transfer student” in the fun segment “Bound by Blood.”

She proudly declared, “I’m Park Nam Jung’s daughter, STAYC’s Sieun, with a perfect voice and honey-like charm.” She even joked, “The more I look in the mirror, the more I see my dad. I look just like him!”

While Park Nam Jung was full of praise for his daughter’s natural talent, recalling how Sieun would copy dance moves from TV performances and win every school singing contest since middle school, Sieun got real about growing up with a famous father.

“When I was younger, it was really hard to deal with,” she admitted. “But now, I’m starting to appreciate it more. When I go on variety shows, people always say, ‘I was a fan of your dad,’ and it makes me greet them again.”

But it wasn’t all serious! Sieun didn’t hold back when talking about her dad's fashion choices, saying, “Sometimes I feel embarrassed by his fashion sense,” sending the audience into laughter. She even shared how her dad doesn’t get mad, but just gets “sulky” instead.

Sieun and Park Nam Jung also put on a show-stopping performance, singing a mix of his hits “Days of Rain” and “Longing for You,” alongside STAYC’s “Teddy Bear” and “GPT” dances.

The father-daughter duo ended their performance with an emotional duet of Aladdin’s “A Whole New World,” which brought the house down.

On the group’s side, STAYC has been busy with major milestones, recently wrapping up their first world tour TEENFRESH and releasing their debut full album Metamorphic. The group is currently gearing up for their next big release!

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!
