Recently, a video titled 'A group that can do anything but is somehow different' was posted on the YouTube channel 'Jetting,' featuring Chaeryeong and Yuna as guests. On that day, Jaejoong referred to JYP Entertainment's (JYP) cafeteria and asked, 'Was it the same during the old building?' In response, Yuna revealed, 'There was no cafeteria in the old building, we had a partnered cafeteria.' Jaejoong reminisced about his trainee days at SM, saying, 'We ate Chinese food almost every day. Junsu ordered sweet and sour pork without saying anything, but we couldn't exceed 4,000 to 5,000 won (about 440 to 550 yen). At that time, I had a strong desire to debut, and the trainee hierarchy was nothing.' Later, Jaejoong mentioned airport fashion, saying, 'You can see what kind of mindset they have when they are active in places with many cameras. ITZY is working really hard.' Yuna shared, 'I sometimes think, 'How long will reporters keep taking pictures of me at the airport?' So, I want to be photographed beautifully as much as possible.' Jaejoong encouraged her, saying, 'It's very idol-like. When there are members like Yuna who seriously think about something, the group lasts longer.' Amid this, when Jaejoong showed interest in JYP's education, Chaeryeong and Yuna explained, 'There is also education on humanity, and we receive a lot of basic education,' adding, 'They taught us dining manners and how to receive wine.' Jaejoong said, 'It's well known that I have a favorable opinion of JYP. I'm on good terms with JYP,' to which Chaeryeong immediately said, 'I loved SM,' and then quickly apologized. Jaejoong lightened the mood by asking, 'Why? I love SM too!'
