Regarding her interests outside of music activities, Kwon Eunbi revealed something she wants to do. Because of her love for Pengsoo, the popular penguin character created by the Educational Broadcasting System (EBS) in Korea, she shared what she wanted to do with a laugh.

I really like Pengsoo, so I want to try dubbing for animations. It would be even better if I dubbed for Pengsoo’s girlfriend. (Laughs)

Although the character Pengsoo doesn’t have an official girlfriend, if he did, Kwon Eunbi would be the perfect voice!
