Mimiminu: "The Necklace G-DRAGON Gave Me Isn't 16 Million Won ― To Me, It's Worth Even More"

YouTuber Mimiminu opened up about the value of a necklace he received from G-DRAGON.

On the April 1 (Wed.) broadcast of SBS PowerFM (107.7MHz) Wendy’s "Young Street," the three MCs of SBS "Finding Genius: Infinity" ― Cha Tae-hyun, OH MY GIRL’s MIMI, and Mimiminu ― joined ahead of the show’s April 2 premiere to share behind-the-scenes stories and life updates.

Mimiminu answered candid questions about G-DRAGON. He previously served as MC for his fan meeting and was known to have received an expensive necklace from him as a gift.

Asked if she and G-DRAGON are now close like brothers, he said, “Not quite.” He added, “There was an article saying the necklace GD gifted me was 16 million won. It’s not priced that high, but to me, it’s worth even more,” showing unwavering fan pride.

Meanwhile, Cha Tae-hyun recalled the moment he was first offered the MC role on "Finding Genius," saying, “It was unexpected.” He continued, “As a parent, I’m curious about gifted kids, and the combo of MIMI and Mimiminu felt fresh, so I said yes.”

When a listener asked about first impressions, Mimiminu said, “I was surprised that Cha Tae-hyun sunbae is more on the MBTI T side than I imagined. While watching the pre-recorded clips, he kept suspecting the kids and the production were distorted, so it was hard to stop him,” drawing laughs. Cha Tae-hyun added, “Seeing kids who seemed naturally talented also work hard and be kind was almost unbelievable,” amping up curiosity for the show.

Because it was April Fools’ Day, Cha Tae-hyun also shared a personal story: “My wife once joked on April Fools’ that she was pregnant with our third child. A week later, we found out it was actually true,” he said, sending the studio into laughter.

MIMI showed off her wit, too. Known for her love of desserts, when asked if she’s ever made butter tteok herself, she said, “It’s not at the level of ‘Dujjonku’ in taste or buzz yet, so I haven’t tried it,” giving off pro vibes.

Wendy’s "Young Street" airs daily from 8 to 10 p.m. on SBS PowerFM 107.7MHz and is also available as a visual radio on the official YouTube channel.

Cha Tae-hyun, MIMI, and Mimiminu’s SBS "Finding Genius: Infinity" premieres Thursday the 2nd at 9 p.m.
