"Originally not chosen, could have become aespa? When asked which one she would prefer, SM or JYP? ITZY's Chaeryeong talks about her current situation!

ITZY's member Yuna previously appeared on JTBC's variety show, along with other girl group seniors Narsha of Brown Eyed Girls and DARA of 2EN1. They discussed their debut process and interesting anecdotes on the show.

Although Lee Chae-yeon is the youngest guest, her astonishing dancing skills and stage charisma can be said to be no less than her seniors. However, her generous disclosure of the company's management methods and details in the show has caused a stir.

Lee Chae-ryeong candidly admitted that JYP fully supported their dance and songs, but did not support in terms of beauty and medical aesthetics, a super honest statement that made the audience laugh.

In addition, Lee Chae-ryeong also revealed that, at that time, in her urgency to lose weight quickly, she would only eat 5-6 almonds a day, which made the seniors present feel very distressed. However, when asked if Lee Chae-ryeong has a habit of drinking alcohol, she generously revealed that she would drink 1-2 glasses of whiskey before bed, which further shocked those present.

Then Yoon Jong-shin asked, was it your first time participating in auditions before you came to JYP? Chae-ryeong also honestly said, "I was eliminated in SM's audition before."

Then, when asked, "If you hadn't been eliminated at that time, would you have become a member of aespa?" Chae-ryeong candidly stated, "Even though I didn't make it, I still like SM."

And so, Yoon Jong-shin asked, "If you receive acceptance letters from both JYP and SM at the same time, which one would you choose?" Chae-ryeong suddenly looked troubled for a moment, then answered, "I guess I would go to SM." This unexpected response caused an explosion of laughter at the scene.
