Fromis_9’s Jiheon Earns Praise For Making The “Cutest Mistake Ever” On Stage

Fromis_9‘s youngest member is gaining attention for how she handled a mistake on stage.

Last June 10, the PLEDIS Entertainment group sang their songs “WE GO” and “Up And” on Weverse Con. They were professional and energetic from start to finish, showing their experience as artists who debuted six years ago.

Even a small mishap towards the end of their “Up And” performance looked planned. Here, maknae Jiheon was left alone in the front while the rest of the team ran back for the ending position.

It was different from the original way they conclude the stage.

She only found out about her “wrong” position after singing her part when the rest of the members called her nickname, “Heon-ah.”
