Yuna is expected to showcase her confident and delightful hosting skills, demonstrating chemistry across generations. In a teaser video released yesterday (2nd), she stated, 'There are really many interesting things in the recent world. Since I have diverse interests, I can convey all of their uses,' and expressed her ambition, saying, 'I am confident in everything from food to hot places, fashion, and electronics, so please leave it to me.' As the mood maker of the group, her excellent variety sense has garnered expectations for her performance. Yuna has shown witty talk and exceptional quickness through the group's content, earning her the title of 'variety gem' among fans. ILLIT continues to rise in global music charts with their new song 'NOT CUTE ANYMORE', which has entered the latest Billboard 'Bubbling Under Hot 100' at 17th place (as of January 3rd), signaling a chance to enter the main song chart. The track 'Lucky Girl Syndrome' from their 1st mini-album also showed surprising reverse movement on the 1st, marking a pleasant start.
