MEOVV's Narin is making waves with her latest comments, and not everyone is pleased.

In a recent interview, Narin shared her thoughts on her favorite season, revealing, "I think every season has its own special charm! Still, I like summer the most! Maybe it's because my birthday is in the summer? My birthday is on August 15th! It’s also Liberation Day! So, it’s always really hot on my birthday."

Narin's mention of Liberation Day and the Taegeukgi (Korean flag) in her personal teaser has raised eyebrows. She continued, "Speaking of Liberation Day, it reminded me that there’s also a Taegeukgi in my personal teaser! Did you know? In my personal teaser, there’s a Taegeukgi in a classroom-like setting, and the concept of that place is 'outdoor classroom.' It’s a fresh concept, so it stands out in my memory."

While Narin's enthusiasm for her birthday and the Taegeukgi is clear, some fans are questioning whether these references might be a misstep, particularly with her Japanese fans.

Comments are mixed:

"Freaking likable."

"She's likeable."

"Freaking likable, let me support her now."

"Who cares about Japanese fans ㅋㅋ? Anyways, Narin is freaking likable."

"I don't know much about MEOVV but she's freaking likable."

"Time to listen to MEOVV."

"Aside from whether this is a hit or miss statement or not, the fact that she confidently talks like that when they have a Japanese member in the team is quite fascinating. Looks like she doesn't really mind things like that."

"Freaking likable, MEOVV fighting!!!"

"Why is she not allowed to mention Liberation Day? We were freed from Japan and this was our birthday. Narin fighting."

"Nowadays I can't help but wonder if those are tactics to go viral.. But I find the members likable, so I guess they achieved their goal ㅋㅋㅋ."

Narin's candidness is certainly turning heads and sparking conversations. Whether this will boost MEOVV's visibility or stir up more controversy remains to be seen. Stay tuned!

Dex recently had a fun and lighthearted chat with IVE's Jang Wonyoung, who is nine years younger than him, during an episode of Dex's Fridge Interview.

On January 16, the YouTube channel 117 uploaded the episode titled "Everything About Wonyoung From the Stars," featuring Jang Wonyoung as the special guest. The two shared laughs and talked openly in a cheerful atmosphere.

As soon as Jang Wonyoung entered the studio, Dex couldn’t hide his excitement, saying, "It felt like a strawberry was walking toward me."

He continued with sweet compliments, adding, "Even though it's winter, the energy Wonyoung brings feels like spring."

Dex went on to reveal, "Someone I know told me, ‘Jang Wonyoung is different,’ and now I understand. You’re truly extraordinary.”

The two guests, born in different generations (Dex in 1995 and Jang Wonyoung in 2002), joked about their age gap. When Dex mentioned the generational differences, Wonyoung reassured him, saying, “I actually like making friends with older people, like older sisters or people older than me.”

Taking a bold turn, Dex jokingly asked, “What’s the age limit for dating up?” Wonyoung, staying composed, laughed and said, “That’s such a funny question.” Dex, clearly amused, admitted, “I was hoping you’d be flustered, but you’re not fazed at all!”

Dex also revealed that he put extra effort into his appearance for the episode. “I tried to look as young as possible today, so I wore glasses,” he confessed.

Wonyoung playfully complimented him, saying, “They suit you well.” Blushing, Dex replied with a big smile, “Really?”

Meanwhile, IVE is gearing up for their official comeback. On January 13, they pre-released "Rebel Heart," the title track from their third EP, IVE EMPATHY. Fans can look forward to the full album release on February 3!
