i-dle's Ugi talked about the scene where she cried. Recently, i-dle's Miyeon released a video titled 'Perfect Compatibility, Cute Ugi is also Good at Hip-Hop' on her YouTube channel 'Miyeon zip MIYEON'. In the video, Miyeon commented, 'At the 6th stop of 'Miyeon's Music Metro', our superstar, Ugi, joined us. Ugi, who returned with old-school hip-hop, created a passionate playlist together.' She added, 'We also sang a sweet duet song to ease the heat, so please listen to it a lot.' Ugi talked about the music video, saying, 'NEVERLAND (the fan name) wanted to see me act, so I tried acting once.' She revealed an episode related to her crying performance. 'I cried a lot during the music video shoot. I got too immersed,' she said, explaining further, 'Actually, I had never acted properly, and I was worried about whether I could cry. So my manager prepared something special. Originally, I was supposed to cry while looking at a blank paper in a scene where I read a letter, but when I acted, it turned out to be a letter written by my mother. My manager had prepared it a month in advance because he seemed worried about whether I could cry.' Ugi continued, 'Thanks to that, I cried a lot. But it wasn't beautiful crying, and in the end, it couldn't be used. I didn't cry quietly; I cried out loud, so it wasn't pretty. Still, thanks to the letter, I regained my emotions and was able to cry beautifully again while being immersed. My manager also seemed satisfied, saying, 'I did it for you.' Ugi recently released her 1st single 'Motivation'. This single includes the title track 'M.O.', as well as 'It Hurt' and the Chinese version of 'It Hurt'. The title track 'M.O.' is a boom-bap-based hip-hop track that expresses the message that the confidence to follow one's intuition, free from gaze and rules, is what drives Ugi.
