ITZY's Ryujin met a fan who aspires to be an actress. On the 19th, the 29th episode of "Good job, today too 2024" was released on the YouTube channel "dingo story," which was filmed with Ryujin. "Good job, today too" is a reality show where stars who have achieved their dreams meet young people running towards their dreams, delivering support and hope. This time, Ryujin, who is on leave from the university's practical dance department and is studying acting, met An Yeji, a passionate fan who aspires to be an actress. Ryujin, who surprised Yeji by appearing in front of her while she was dancing to ITZY's "CAKE," hugged her tightly and cheerfully greeted her, "Let's play together today." Ryujin said, "I was worried about how to make her feel better. I was also very nervous," and made an effort to relax Yeji's tension. Then, she showed a gentle side by saying, "Let's use casual language since we're only one year apart," making the viewers' hearts flutter. Yeji said, "I've been dancing since I was 6, and I thought dance was the only thing in my life. But that was not true," and revealed the reason for changing her career path to an actress. Ryujin, who was listening seriously to Yeji's story, warmly encouraged her, saying, "It must have been a very difficult decision, amazing." In response to Yeji's story that "last year, I was going back and forth between the practice room and cram school, and it was tough," Ryujin said, "I also had difficult times with the repetitive daily life. At such times, I saw really skilled people. I always tried to leave a spark of wanting to dance like that," and gave heartfelt advice based on her own experience. She also supported Yeji's dream, saying, "You're working hard enough, so I want you to not restrict yourself too much. I want you to take care of yourself." The two of them created a bucket list of things they definitely want to achieve in the future. Yeji wrote down her goals, including appearing in a movie, and said, "I hope we can achieve everything," which encouraged Yeji. Finally, Ryujin handed Yeji a surprise present, a scarf prepared for her, saying, "I chose it with the members," and moved Yeji. They also took a commemorative photo together, and Ryujin warmly embraced Yeji until the end, creating an unforgettable special memory for her.
