Actor Wi Ha Joon opened up about the 'sexy' label he gained from his role.

On the 5th, during an interview after wrapping up the tvN weekend drama 'The Midnight Romance In Hagwon', Wi Ha Joon shared thoughts at a café in Gangnam, Seoul, especially thanking Jung Ryeo Won for making his acting comfortable.

Addressing the 'sexy' tag from 'Squid Game', Wi Ha Joon remarked, "I think it was just a passing phase. There are so many talented actors globally, so I haven't focused on popularity for a while. I didn't pursue it then, and I'm not seeking it now."

Looking ahead to 'Squid Game' Season 2 later this year, he added confidently, "I don't feel pressured. I look forward to meeting fans again through 'Squid Game 2'. I filmed with the mindset of greeting everyone again after three years, so I hope they welcome me warmly."

Discussing nicknames he enjoys or hopes to gain, he mentioned, "Wando sexy? Because I'm from Wando. It started as a playful nickname, but I take it as a nice compliment. It's a playful joke, but I live with the mindset of 'Yes, I'm cool,' 'I'm sexy.' I might be the sexiest guy in Wando."

Reflecting on his character in 'The Midnight Romance In Hagwon', he mused, "'Younger man sexy' for Jun-ho. He was a bit rough, like an unpredictable guy, so maybe 'reckless sexy.' Or I'd like to be known as melo sexy."

Wi Ha Joon also emphasized, "While appearance matters, inner qualities are crucial. As I grow older, my inner self matures, which changes things. It depends on how you live your life and treat others. Sexy is a mindset."

Meanwhile, Wi Ha Joon is planning his next project post-'The Midnight Romance In Hagwon' and will embark on a fan meeting tour across five Asian cities starting in August, including Seoul, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

ITZY's Yuna opened up about her childhood, her school days, and even the surprising secret behind her perfectly shaped head in a fun and heartwarming video.

On April 30, Yuna appeared in a new video on the YouTube channel "You Nani Bit Ina", where she visited her old middle school. Standing in front of the building, Yuna smiled and said, “This is the middle school I went to when I was younger. Well, it was five years ago, so not that long ago.”

She shared a fun memory, saying, “I came back once after graduating because I kept in touch with one of the teachers. All the teachers came out to greet me, and the students were so excited!”

When asked if she was popular back in school, Yuna gave an honest and funny answer. “I don’t think there were any boys’ schools nearby. "

She added, "And when I was in elementary school, boys liked girls who were quiet, cute, and sweet. But I was loud and outgoing, so I wasn’t their type. Back then, boys didn’t really like girls who were too pretty—they preferred someone more plain and simple.”

Later in the video, while filming at a local snack shop, Yuna got a surprise visit from her mom. Shocked, Yuna asked, “Why did you come without saying anything?”

Her mom sweetly revealed that Yuna had always dreamed of being on TV. Yuna added, “I never thought I’d be an idol. I imagined maybe I’d be a show host, an announcer, or even a pretty comedian.”

When asked when she realized Yuna had grown up, her mom said, “After she debuted, she always asked me for feedback. But eventually, she started making her own choices, and that’s when I knew she had grown up. At first, I was even worried about her hand gestures and facial expressions.”

Yuna chimed in, “My mom used to tell me I was doing too much when she watched my fancams.” Her mom smiled and said, “Isn’t Yuna the prettiest when she’s natural? I think she’s slowly learning that on her own.”

Then came the cutest story of the day—Yuna talked about how her head shape became so perfect. “When I was a baby, my mom would lay me down at different angles to make my head round—like using a protractor.”

Yuna laughed. Her mom looked a bit embarrassed but admitted, “I tried that with my first child too, but I started too late—around two months after birth. With Yuna, I started right away.”

Yuna then proudly pointed to her head and said, “Mom’s touch!” making everyone laugh.

Fans were touched by Yuna’s honest and playful personality, and many praised the sweet bond between her and her mom.
