Jeong Somi mentioned the sex education she received at JYP Entertainment. Recently, SBS's variety show 'No, But Really' released a preview. The preview featured Jeong Somi talking about sex education at JYP Entertainment. Lee Suji started the conversation by saying, 'Do you know what JYP is the strictest about? It seems there are about 67 items in the trainee education.' Lee Sangmin and EXO's Kai couldn't hide their surprise. Lee Sangmin asked, 'There are 67 subjects?' Jeong Somi replied, 'We receive sex education and hacking education.' Upon hearing this, Lee Sangmin said, 'As an idol trainee, there are times when you might think, 'Why do I have to learn this?'' Jeong Somi explained, 'That was sex education for me. I had already received proper sex education at home.' She drew attention by saying, 'As someone who has experienced it, I receive education at JYP, but they leave out all the important parts.' Tak Jaehoon asked, 'What is important in sex education?' Jeong Somi laughed and replied, 'Important? What (laughs)?' Lee Suji mentioned, 'Kai has been active since childhood. I heard you had a nerve battle in front of JYP when you were young.' Kai revealed, 'If SM is up at the intersection of Cheongdam, JYP was right next to it. JYP was near the place to eat.' Jeong Somi countered, 'That's a bit... to say it's near the place to eat.' Kai said, 'It was in front of the donut shop. I only went there when I was going to eat donuts.' Jeong Somi argued, 'We actually talk the opposite. JYP is at the main intersection of Cheongdam, while SM is a bit off.' Kai countered, 'We were along the main road.' When Lee Suji asked, 'But why did you go to JYP?' Kai answered, 'I went to eat. When we went to eat, those guys (JYP trainees) would come down. Even if we were just walking normally, we would suddenly get excited when we looked over there,' making everyone laugh.
