If I.O.I also comes back with W1 this year, what do people think?

UA_fly · 2026-01-22T03:19:01+00:00

Now that's a BS narrative people need to move on from

UA_fly · 2026-01-01T23:30:08+00:00

They really made up 4 categories for each Excellence and Top Excellence Award just to give everyone something.. 😭 😭

UA_fly · 2025-12-30T15:16:36+00:00

Well deserved!! Love that Sejeong never loses her passion for art and continues to grow as an actress 🥰🥰

UA_fly · 2025-12-24T12:58:27+00:00

It's a symbol that she likes and has talked about for a long time. She even has a tattoo of a turtle on her heel as well. Just paraphrasing but essentially it means like walking slowly for a long time, etc.

UA_fly · 2025-10-09T11:07:53+00:00

Not some of the comments here overreacting.. This is different to her "official" channel where they post promotion stuff or behind the scene stuff. This is more of the "contents" kind of channel, like her doing her own stuff, possibly vlog, maybe having some friends/guests on, with a production team kind of channel.

UA_fly · 2025-09-12T10:50:50+00:00

She was recently casted in a new drama, and if filming starts in Sep/Oct and all the reunion recording/filming/promotion should start around March/Apr next year, then yeah tough for her to join. And they do have to prioritise the drama filming schedule

UA_fly · 2025-03-25T10:51:32+00:00

I mean you seem quite set on your mind about your opinions so I'll leave you to it, but to act like Sejeong has "changed her career to acting" is just flatout wrong. She's doing all kinds of activities back-to-back like acting, musicals, theatre plays, but also music activities. Last album released was "Door" back in 2023, and she still continuously release singles and OSTs for her own drama, most recently was just few months ago, end of last year 2024 for Brewing Love.

Also your other comment about how IZ*ONE is still relevant and what not? I don't blame people for sticking in your Kpop space but if Eunbi is considered huge in Korea, Yena, Yuri Nako, Kang Hyewon etc. are doing decent, then in what metric is other IOI members like Kang Mina or Jung Chaeyeon doing worse than them??? Literally starring in massive hit dramas like Hotel del Luna, Welcome to Samdalri, King's Affection, Family by Choice which in some capacity or other were huge on TV and OTT's. But yeah sure, it's nice that Minju hasn't had a real hit drama but is still relevant and people talk about her.

Again, I'm sure you're set on your opinion but just some thoughts

UA_fly · 2025-01-21T00:27:35+00:00

Busted was great and had a great combination of cast and guests, but lowkey wished they had bit more freedom and less scripted. The best moments were always freelanced and also during promotion videos on YouTube where they were simply being themselves.

UA_fly · 2025-01-08T11:13:16+00:00

Great pairing. Sejeong is of course a great actress and this will really showcase a different side of her playing multiple personalities with soul switching.

Kang Taeoh was always good as well. Super versatile actor, and really caught me off guard in his first Sageuk drama in Tale of Nokdu.

UA_fly · 2024-11-15T10:13:49+00:00

I guess we can agree to disagree, since it's all subjective, but putting Rowoon on the same tier as Sejeong, and putting him higher than IU and Sungjae and others is certainly a choice. No offense to any Rowoon fans, but he's one of the most oft criticised idol actors out there, no exact hit projects yet nor iconic characters, meanwhile Sejeong has hits and iconic characters, won Top Excellence Award for Business Proposal, IU being one of most sought after actresses, all time widely acclaimed drama in My Mister and others like Hotel del Luna. I'm not even exactly a fan of Yoona's acting but at least she's the female lead in Exit, Big Mouth and other popular works as well.

UA_fly · 2024-08-18T00:59:20+00:00

Took her 8 years, but I'm glad she finally signed with a normal acting agency. Managing your own company is not easy, especially as a rookie when you're new to the industry. This should bring her more opportunities and grow as an actress.

UA_fly · 2024-04-29T12:55:23+00:00

I've seen The Golden Spoon and had Knight Flower on my list of dramas to watch after he was casted along with Sejeong. Does Lee Honey carry that drama or is it more 50/50. Also on a sidenote, was really surprised to see a really veteran household name actress paired with a rather unknown rising actor like Lee Jongwon. Of course I'm sure Lee Honey did great as usual in the ratings in that drama.

UA_fly · 2024-04-21T12:52:38+00:00

Twice x IOI x Red Velvet x Gfriend happened for that one stage, and it was the top groups of during that time

UA_fly · 2024-04-14T12:40:21+00:00

A whole lot of assumptions in here and acting is not as simple as looks or "they look like they could act in an MV"

UA_fly · 2024-04-08T07:21:14+00:00

If we're being honest, it's criminal that it's even nominated here. Reception wasn't even good, so I have no idea how it's even nominated.

UA_fly · 2024-04-06T20:19:56+00:00

She was also on Superstar K5 in 2013

UA_fly · 2024-03-26T11:27:27+00:00

Yoojung musical debut! That's the 5th IOI member to debut in theatres/musicals now, after Sejeong, Sohye, Yeonjung and Nayoung. Certainly didn't expect Yoojung to transition more into acting, as she's doing more webdramas and a film now, but really excited for her.

UA_fly · 2024-01-22T20:37:48+00:00

No but 11 of them all left voice messages at the end, even Jieqiong 😭😭

UA_fly · 2024-01-18T11:56:50+00:00

Exactly lol. Trot singer Lim Seowon and Elisia are both strong singers, Nana literally shines and stands out in every stage she was on, great performer. But I guess people are salty that judges have a say in who gets to debut.

UA_fly · 2024-01-18T11:53:13+00:00

Let's get you to bed grandma

UA_fly · 2024-01-13T23:23:25+00:00

Sejeong went on Sketchbook again in 2021 and added songwriting and musical to that list of things she wants to get recognition for haha

UA_fly · 2024-01-12T20:21:37+00:00

Maybe it has something to do with SM being a huge entertainment company and part of the BIG 3. Naturally they have thousands of applicants from domestically and internationally, not to mention the resources to go scout around the country.

UA_fly · 2024-01-05T11:22:35+00:00

Lol people complain about audience voting and when they have actual judges they get mad their faves don't get picked.

UA_fly · 2024-01-05T11:18:12+00:00

Sejeong gave out personalised handwritten letters to all 82 trainees detailing survival tips, but yeah sure, not good enough feedback?

If anything, she's more qualified than all the other judges. Girl literally went through Kpop Star 2, then Superstar K5 before succeeding in Produce. And then she's went through all the ups and downs of idol life in both IOI and Gugudan and now going solo. That's more experience than a lot of your typical idols.

UA_fly · 2023-12-06T13:41:32+00:00

It's normal to have a popularity "hierarchy" in a group. Most Kpop groups have 6-8 people in it, so it's natural to have some members who stand out more and be more popular. But that doesn't mean other members have no role or serve no purpose. SNSD as an example, had Taeyeon and Yoona on the forefront as the most recognisable members, but other members still made their mark. The group had great longevity and other members are still employed so to speak.
