D.O. of EXO and Lee Yong-ji referred to the kiss scene in the 'Small girl' music video. Recently, on the YouTube channel 'More Boring Things,' a video titled 'Big Boy Mr. Kyungsoo (D.O.'s real name) finally appears on 'More Boring Things'' was posted. On that day, Lee Yong-ji and D.O. revealed behind-the-scenes stories about their collaboration song 'Small girl,' which had previously garnered attention. Lee Yong-ji said, '(D.O.) has a corner that is always included in fan concerts. There, he kept saying 'Small girl' many times,' to which D.O. explained, 'It's because the fans like this song.' After creating the song, Lee Yong-ji revealed that she personally contacted D.O.'s company representative. She said, 'I begged that this song would not be released unless D.O. sang it. And they happily allowed him to participate.' D.O. stated, 'The song was so good that I didn't hesitate for a second and said, 'I will gladly sing it.' I think Yong-ji also knew that this kind of song suits me well.' When Lee Yong-ji said, 'I've heard about the music video so much that it's like my ears have calluses,' D.O. asked, 'About the kiss?' which flustered her. Lee Yong-ji replied, 'Yes. When we were filming that scene, he was so professional, and D.O. naturally spoke to me. But I just wanted to stay in silence.' D.O. recreated Yong-ji's demeanor during the music video shoot, saying, 'During the filming, Yong-ji hardly spoke. She only greeted from afar.' She then revealed, 'Now that I think about it, it was a very special experience.' However, when Lee Yong-ji struggled to continue speaking, D.O. joked, 'You only keep your distance when this topic comes up.' Lee Yong-ji said, 'It was an opportunity to study the keyword of being older. Because...' but quickly fell silent again. D.O. expressed his loneliness, saying, 'Even when we were performing on stage, I wanted to sing together, but she kept running away.' Lee Yong-ji explained, 'From my perspective, you were the assassin. I wanted to sing while keeping a safe distance, but you kept getting closer.' D.O. said, 'Since the third verse is a duet, I thought it would create synergy if we sang together. But every time I got close, Yong-ji kept running away.' Lee Yong-ji shared her pressure about how she would be perceived while singing. The two then performed 'Small girl' live for the first time as 'More Boring Things.' When D.O. looked at Lee Yong-ji, she joked, 'It's not the time to stare at each other yet,' making everyone laugh. D.O. tried to get closer to make eye contact with Lee Yong-ji, who was hiding her face, but failed.
