Singer and actress Kim Se-jeong reflected on her past I.O.I days.
On the 5th, a video titled "Please vote for your manhwa-gogi. Making the No. 1 manhwa-gogi with I.O.I Kim Se-jeong x Kim Doyeon, reunited after 10 years" was posted on the YouTube channel "Bap Eun-young."
That day, Park Eun-young asked, "I heard I.O.I is reuniting after 10 years. What brought you together?" Kim Doyeon said, "This time, when it became the 10th anniversary, our Jeongha unni worked very hard. For the reunion she called all the members and asked, 'How about it?' Fortunately, the members' feelings matched well, so we decided to do it."
Kim Se-jeong said, "When each of us went to festivals or events, fans would say, 'When will I.O.I get together again?' so I thought we should get together. It felt too wasteful to just let it pass or to bury it in nostalgia, our members are too precious to do that."
Park Eun-young asked, "So what's different now compared with 10 years ago?" Kim Se-jeong said, "I actually looked at photos from 10 years ago today. Back then Doyeon was the very picture of innocence. How should I describe Doyeon these days? (deep) this kind of vibe," bringing laughter.
She added, "She even went to Cannes this time. She seems to have become more sophisticated," proudly referring to Kim Doyeon going to Cannes with the film "Dora."
Then Kim Doyeon said, "Maybe because I have changed, unni looks different to me. Because back then she really felt like an unni. That's because I was a high school student then," recalling that Kim Se-jeong was 21 and an adult at the time.
She also said, "I used to see her only as an unni, but being with her now, I see she has a somewhat timid side. She's very tender and emotional."
Kim Se-jeong said, "There is a secret to this. At that time I belonged to the unni line. So I acted a lot like an unni. I didn't know then. I would naturally help as an unni," and confessed, "As I grew older without my friends, I felt like a child; the age gap wasn't that big, but being called unni felt so embarrassing."
She added, "We reunited after a long time, and it was embarrassing to call someone 'unni' like before. So maybe I seem a bit timid. The way I look at things has changed."
