BLACKPINK’s Jisoo mentioned TWICE’s Nayeon’s fame during her trainee days. On SBS’s recently aired “Whenever Possible” in Korea, Nayeon and Jisoo appeared as guests. While waiting for the guests in Sanbon-dong, Gunpo City, MC Yoo Jae-suk expressed his expectations, saying, “They must be young. It’s a new city.” Yoo Yong-suk said, “As soon as I arrived in Sanbon, I looked it up,” and mentioned actor Seo Kang-joon, who is from the same city. He also guessed that the reason they had prepared pink outfits was because “BLACKPINK’s Jisoo is also from Sanbon, isn’t she?” The guests who then appeared were Jisoo and Nayeon, whom Yoo Yong-suk had predicted. Yoo Yong-suk was delighted, saying, “I got it right!” When Yoo Jae-suk expressed surprise at Nayeon and Jisoo’s relationship, saying, “You two are close, huh,” the two replied, “We’ve known each other for a long time. We’ve known each other since our trainee days.” Nayeon and Jisoo were born in 1995 and are the same age. Yoo Jae-suk said, “But you were at different agencies, right?” and was surprised that the two, who belonged to different agencies, had been close since their trainee days. Nayeon trained at JYP Entertainment, and Jisoo trained at YG Entertainment. Jisoo looked back, saying, “When trainee life goes on for a long time, you come to know who the ace of that agency is. It was exactly like that.” When Yoo Jae-suk asked, “Nayeon was a famous trainee, right?” Jisoo answered, “She was famous.”
