The MBC 'Radio Star' airing on the 8th will feature a Chuseok special titled 'The Mood is Alive' with guests Jang Jin, Kim Ji-hoon, Kim Kyung-ran, and Yena Choi.
Yena shares her reactions after her first appearance on 'Radio Star', bringing smiles to everyone. She reveals that after the broadcast, her fellow IZ*ONE member Jang Wonyoung was the first to contact her, saying she enjoyed the show. She shares a story about using the pocket money she received from MC Kim Gura to buy coffee for her family, saying, "My dad was happy, saying, 'Oh, I'm drinking coffee that Kim Gura bought for me.'" This brings laughter to the scene.
She reveals that she sought advice from Eunbi Kwon, known as the 'Water Bomb Goddess', regarding the Water Bomb stage. She humorously recounts asking, "What if the water is too strong?" to which Eunbi replied, "Just get hit by it," causing everyone to burst into laughter. She shares the practical advice Eunbi gave her, surprising everyone. To cope with the pouring water, she candidly admits, "I used an umbrella," making the scene a sea of laughter.
The connection with science YouTuber Gweedo and their 'unique friendship' is also revealed. She smiles warmly as she shares, "I wondered if aliens really exist, so I sent a DM, and I got a long reply back."
Additionally, she shares her heartfelt growth story, saying, "I became a challenge-oriented person from being a coward while doing the high school mystery club." She confesses, "At first, I was scared, but now I want to solve problems to the end," receiving everyone's support.
During the Chuseok 'Songpyeon Detection Game', she also shows her keen sense. As the MCs passionately compete over a single 'luck-based Songpyeon', Yena displays her serious investigative skills with sharp eyes to find the spicy Songpyeon, eliciting proud smiles from the MCs. Viewers are left wondering if Yena can find the MC who ate the spicy Songpyeon.
