On the 26th, a video titled 'Ready to Acquire Talent' was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'JaeChing.' On this day, Wheein and Jaejoong expressed their surprise at meeting for the first time. Wheein showed familiarity, saying, 'Jaejoong is close to our company's Jung Si-hyun. The company is a 5-minute walk from my house, so I've seen him passing by every day.' Jaejoong asked, 'Didn't you just transfer recently?' but Wheein revealed, 'The contract with the company I transferred to has ended,' and stated she is currently a free agent. Jaejoong immediately suggested, 'Come to our company.' When Jaejoong promoted his company as 'working worldwide, with great support, and a limitless company,' Wheein asked, 'Are you serious?' Jaejoong assured her, 'I don't lie, so think about it.' Wheein mentioned that she had sung many of TVXQ's songs in the past, saying, 'I've been friends with Hwasa since childhood. We auditioned together a lot, and I sang a lot of 'Love In The Ice,' taking Jaejoong's part.' She also mentioned that she often sang 'Rising Sun' at karaoke. Wheein revealed, 'I sang it as the last song at karaoke. There are videos of me singing it with the members.' Jaejoong noted that Wheein and Hwasa have a similar singing vibe. Wheein explained, 'When we were trainees, our voices were almost indistinguishable. Now, since we pursue different musical colors, we've changed a lot, but when we were younger, we sounded very similar.'
