While talking to the host, Jonathan Thona, Yena explained that she became close to Yuqi thanks to fans’ mentioning that the two talented idols look alike.

Before fans started talking about their similarities, the two simply “knew about each other.” And then, the two finally met at the Idol Star Athletics Championships (ISAC).
