ITZY’s Yeji: Bonding with aespa’s Karina Over Watermelon Juice and Staying in Touch Frequently

On January 10th, ITZY, who made a comeback with the new mini-album ‘BORN TO BE,’ appeared as guests on MBC FM4U’s ‘Kim Shin-young’s Hope Song at Noon’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘Hope’).

Before the main talk began, Kim Shin-young revealed voice messages from aespa’s Ningning and Karina, who previously arrived as guests.

Especially noteworthy was Karina, who caught attention by expressing her feelings, saying, “Hello? You must be in the middle of your schedule. Thank you for always treating us well, even though you are seniors. And Yeji, I’m sorry for not replying to your messages well. Don’t be upset. I’m not good at replying to everyone. And Ryujin, I saw you not long ago. Next time, bring Yeji with you.”

Kim Shin-young asked Yeji, “Doesn’t Karina take a while to reply?” To this, Yeji said, “She used to be slow when busy, but these days, she replies well,” bragging about their close friendship.

The reason they became close was ‘watermelon juice.’ Yeji explained, “It was summer. I ordered fruit juice, and since aespa was nearby, I said, ‘It would be nice to share it together,’ and we became friends.” Kim Shin-young agreed, saying, “Watermelon juice brings everyone together. There’s nothing like watermelon juice for a refreshing feeling.”
