Recently, IVE's Rei's YouTube channel 'Trying to Imitate Rei' featured ILLIT's Wonhee as a guest, attracting attention. Rei and Wonhee are known for their cute looks, representing the entertainment world as 'guinea pig-like.' When Rei said Wonhee resembled a guinea pig at first impression, Wonhee laughed and said, 'Fans also say I look like a guinea pig. At first, I thought I had a cat face, so I denied it.' In response, Rei couldn't hold back her laughter, saying, 'You really are a guinea pig!' Their perfect 'guinea sister' chemistry shone from their first meeting. Wonhee's cute confession of wanting to get close to 'sister Rei' made the three-year-older Rei smile repeatedly, filling the atmosphere with smiles. Rei then asked, 'How did you feel when you debuted?' Wonhee revealed, 'It was a series of unfamiliar things, and it was tough to adapt at first. However, my affection gradually deepened.' She also shared, 'I didn't think I would feel this much love for fans. Until now, I was in the position of a fan, but being in the idol position is different.' She added, 'At first, I tried to hide parts of myself, but now I'm showing my true self,' showcasing her growth as an idol. Rei sent warm support to Wonhee, who expressed her heartfelt struggles and growth as a newcomer. Fans who watched the video reacted explosively, saying, 'The guinea sisters are too cute,' 'Wonhee's sincerity comes through,' and 'I want to see this combination on variety shows again.'
