Kwon Eunbi from IZ*ONE revealed an episode of repaying her brother. On the MBN variety show 'Dongmakase' aired yesterday (7th) in Korea, Kwon Eunbi appeared and showed her affection for her family. On this day, MCs Hong Seok-cheon and Lee Won-il asked, 'Wouldn't your family be proud if you succeed?' Kwon Eunbi laughed and said, 'They do a lot. I told them not to, but now they are very happy.' She then revealed, 'I have an older brother who is one year older than me. When he got married, I covered all the wedding expenses.' Surprising everyone, she reflected, 'When I was young, I wanted to go to an art high school, but my parents opposed it. I was worried about having to give up because tutoring costs a lot, but at that time, my brother, who was a high school student, secretly added some money for my entrance exam tutoring.' She conveyed her feelings, saying, 'I was really grateful at that time. I vowed to definitely succeed and help my brother.' Ultimately, Kwon Eunbi, who succeeded as a singer, covered all the costs of her brother's wedding, fulfilling her childhood promise and moving everyone. However, Kwon Eunbi mentioned, 'After the wedding, my brother seemed to feel burdened. So, I decided not to help after that,' adding, 'Whenever I try to do something, he declines, saying, 'It's okay.' I feel grateful and sorry. He could accept help, but he tries to do everything himself until the end.' Kwon Eunbi has recently shown her candid and cheerful charm through variety shows while actively engaging in her singing career.
