On this day, Chae Ye Na mentioned Kim Chae Won as the most different member of IZ*ONE. She said, "When I was active as IZ*ONE, I was roommates with Chae Won. So we went to cafes and spent our free time together." She also said, "Since I am one year older than Chae Won, I treated her to meals at that time, and Chae Won bought dessert. But Chae Won had great success with LE SSERAFIM and treated me to meals and desserts. It was a strange feeling, but it was really nice. The person with more income is the older sister," she said, eliciting laughter. Photo=MBC "Radio Star" broadcast screen capture Also, she mentioned Won Young as a consistent member.
