TWICE's Nayeon Lives in the Same Apartment Complex as Yoo Jae-suk
TWICE member Nayeon has revealed that she lives in the same apartment complex as TV host Yoo Jae-suk, leaving him completely surprised.
The moment comes in an upcoming episode of SBS variety show "Whenever Possible" (Teumman Namyeon), set to air on Nov. 10. Nayeon and BLACKPINK's Jisoo join hosts Yoo Jae-suk and actor Yoo Yeon-seok as they visit Sanbon-dong, a neighborhood in Gunpo, Gyeonggi Province. It marks the first time the two singers have appeared together on a variety show since their debuts.
Yoo Jae-suk is surprised when the pair arrive together. "How did you two get so close?" he asks.
"We've been close since we were trainees," Jisoo explains. "We eat out together a lot."She goes on to explain how Nayeon's name became known even among trainees at other agencies before either of them debuted. "We were both well known at our own agencies as trainees," Jisoo says. "When you train for a long time, word gets around, like, 'She's the ace.' That was Nayeon."
Asked what Nayeon was famous for, Jisoo jokes. "She was just famous as 'Nayeon,'" she says.
"So word spreads even across different companies," Yoo Yeon-seok says, amazed.
The trip also has a personal link for Jisoo, who grew up in the area. "I lived in the apartment complex right over there until I was 10," she says.
When the others start calling her "Sanbon's daughter," she quickly waves it off. "Kim Yuna is 'Sanbon's daughter,'" she says, pointing to the former figure skater. "There's even a figure skating mural."
Yoo Yeon-seok offers a compromise. "Then let's make Yuna the first daughter and Jisoo the second," he says.
"It's an honor," Jisoo replies.
The biggest surprise comes later, when Yoo Jae-suk asks Nayeon where she lives. "I'm in Nonhyeon?" she answers. She then reveals that she lives in the same apartment complex as Yoo Jae-suk, calling him "seonbae," a Korean term used to show respect for a senior colleague.
Caught off guard, Yoo Jae-suk tries to explain the mix-up. "I only remembered that Nayeon used to live in Seongsu, so I got mixed up," he says. Nayeon bursts out laughing.
"Whenever Possible" airs on Nov. 10 at 9 p.m. KST. For fans, the episode offers a rare look at a friendship between members of two of K-POP's biggest girl groups, one that started long before either act reached the world stage.
