IVE's YUJIN has opened up about the conclusion of tvN's variety show 'Earth Arcade Season 3', sharing her heartfelt thoughts as the series wraps up.
With the final episode airing on the 4th, 'Earth Arcade Season 3' has come to an end, showcasing YUJIN's improved comedic skills and her honest, bright energy, bringing laughter and joy to the audience.
Throughout this season, YUJIN demonstrated her knack for variety shows with her quick-witted reactions and keen sense of timing, solidifying her status as a 'variety show sponge'. From seamlessly blending into skits with agility to her spot-on impersonations and willingness to dive into any situation, her proactive attitude has reaffirmed her presence as a 'variety idol'. Notably, her exaggerated reaction in the Abu Dhabi cafe scene, sniffing a flower and exclaiming, "This smells like poison!" became one of the season's most memorable moments, sparking discussions on social media.
Her detective skills in the mystery missions also stood out. Utilizing image searches and information synthesis, YUJIN's 'Yu-genius' approach became a key strategy for her team, earning applause from viewers for her crucial role in the capture missions.
Her genuine engagement with the program, setting aside the idol image, also made a strong impression. From sharing her elementary school graduation photo to dressing up as animals and maintaining her cheerfulness in unexpected situations, she endeared herself to viewers. Producer Na Young-seok also praised her on the YouTube channel 'Channel Fifteen Nights', noting, "Her ability to immerse herself in variety shows, setting aside her idol persona, was remarkable."
Through her agency, Starship Entertainment, YUJIN expressed, "This season was truly enjoyable every single day, and I believe I've made unforgettable memories with my sisters. I hope the viewers also shared in our joy." She added, "I'll be greeting you again soon with IVE's activities, my main gig. We're working hard, so please look forward to it."
Meanwhile, YUJIN and IVE are scheduled to perform at the global music festival 'Lollapalooza Berlin' in Germany on the 12th (local time). YUJIN is expected to showcase another side of her charm through her main profession on stage.
