ILLIT's Wonhee revealed the reason for her changed visuals, attracting attention. On the 2nd, she appeared as a special MC on the tvN variety show 'Surprising Saturday', showcasing her presence. That day, Wonhee filled in for DAY6's Young K. In response, BOOM said, 'The special MC has arrived. Look at Wonhee's expression,' and introduced her as being with ILLIT in place of Young K, enhancing the atmosphere. Wonhee then expressed herself cleverly, saying, 'Today, I came in the style of a foreign exchange student at the 'Surprising Saturday' language school,' blending into the atmosphere. When Block B's P.O asked, 'You've lost quite a bit of weight since the last time you came, right?', Wonhee acknowledged it and replied. She particularly revealed, 'That's right,' and 'It seems like I start losing weight when I turn 20,' surprising the cast. The studio reacted with, 'Already 20 years old?' and Wonhee added, 'The spirit of being 20!', expressing her determination to serve as a special MC with bright energy.
