[ITZY / Piece-of-cake Competition] What's wrong with her?
I don't get it.
That's what I said.
[This is how Yeji expresses her anger.] You guys are really kind.
Right?
[Lia heard her say it.] We were at the elevator when she said it.
So I told her, "Maybe it's one of those days, just let it go."
One of those days?
[One of those days?]
You're good at interventions, you're like Bbaek Ga in Koyote.
- You're good at interventions! - Hold on, hold on.
[How Yeji and Ryujin almost fought with one another / ITZY is trying to be the best] As far as I know, ITZY is good at everything.
But they're especially good at world tours.
[The tickets to their world tour concert sold out.]
How long is the world tour on average?
It's roughly
- eight months. - Half a year.
Eight months?
The world tour goes on about eight months?
Yeah, we finished one recently.
So how much mileage do you get for each world tour?
A lot.
[Envious]
I'm sure each country feels different, can you tell us the differences?
In the case of the United States,
they really enjoy our performances.
They stand up during the performance even when they're not asked to.
Do you not give them chairs?
Are you saying we force them to stand up?
[The mood gets heated without any prompts] They go like, "Woo, woo, woo."
Both the east coast and west coast?
[Sure]
In the case of Asian countries,
they're really grateful that we're there for them.
[Sweet and kind] They always greet us warmly.
Do fans go crazy when they see you at the airport like Dong's fans do?
Do they?
- Did you just condescend to him? - No, no.
You just said, "Do they?"
No, I just wanted to know when that happened exactly.
You know, he used to be very popular, too.
His bodyguard stopped me from approaching him when we were in Vietnam.
I know, he's one of Super Junior.
[It's been eight months.] This is a comeback after eight months of break.
Are you guys feeling confident?
I'm sure they are.
You have to ask them like this, "Are you guys confident?"
[Great rhymes]
What is your new song like?
So the last song was "Sneakers."
This time, it's called "CAKE," which is a great summer song.
The title is "CAKE."
We got the idea from the expression, "A piece of cake."
That's why this segment is also called "Piece of Cake."
[Perfect plan] We always have a plan.
Which one is better?
Choreography, or melody?
Which one did you put extra effort into making?
I think Ho-dong will really love this part.
Right.
There's this part in our choreography.
We bite into something, and I think you'll love that part.
[They take a big bite.]
Big bite?
[That was good.]
Wow
[Ho-dong does it so well.]
Big bite!
[He's going crazy.] You should try it, too.
Come on, do it.
[Looking for another person to do it with him.]
It's your fault, why did you guys ask him to do this in the first place?
Can you do it just once for us?
Big bite!
Wait, you actually did that?
Where's your pride?
Everyone has been waiting for their comeback, it's the least I can do.
Let's do it together, one, two, three!
[Save this photo] - Big bite! - Big bite!
Is the theme different this time?
I've studied their new song.
[What Ho-dong has noticed] Lia dyed her hair because of the new theme.
That's why her hair has a different color.
You didn't know that, did you?
So she dyed her hair to express "Piece of cake"?
That's why your hair has a bright color!
[The color of the year chosen by ITZY] - It has a cream color! - Yeah
You're right.
Let me ask you this.
I know this because I also used to be an idol.
When the other member dyes her hair
you kind of want to dye your hair too.
And sometimes you get jealous, am I right?
I heard Yuna got a little bit jealous.
I wasn't particularly jealous of her new hair color.
But when we were shooting our music video
I noticed Lia looked like the youngest member
because of her new blonde hair.
Oh, Lia is not the youngest one?
I'm sorry.
[Quick mediation break]
I'm also taller than her.
[Younger / Older] So I felt like I was older than her.
[Charismatic] And she played a cute character, always smiling.
[Lia looking fresh] - Yeah, she looked great. - So...
I felt like she stole my youth.
Lia does look like the youngest member.
[We could both be the youngest member!]
I heard you spread rumors about Ryujin.
[Embarrassed] Let me explain.
[Yeji discloses what she did.] I feel like we got closer with each other.
One day, while Ryujin was working,
she got a little agitated.
- She likes to be alone when she's agitated. - I've never heard of this story.
[She's never heard of this before.] So we were in a car, heading back to our dorm.
I tried to have a conversation with Ryujin.
[Ryujin was too tired for a conversation.] She seemed like she didn't want to talk, so I assumed she was not in the right mood.
Then I said, 'Ryujin, you should take this.'
But she ignored me and talked to her assistant instead.
"Is it okay to take this later?"
So she was starting a fight!
[Excited about how this story is going] She wanted a fight!
I would have started throwing fists if I had been you.
So...
I was kind of offended.
I didn't do anything wrong to her.
We stepped out of the car.
Ryujin went up to her room first, and we followed her.
I asked Lia,
"What's wrong with her?"
"I don't get it."
That's what I said.
[This is how Yeji usually expresses her anger.] You guys are good people!
Right?
Too kind, I'd say.
[Lia heard her say that.] I was at the elevator when she said it.
So I told her, "Maybe it's one of those days, just let it go."
One of those days, haha.
[One of those days?]
You're really good at interventions, you're like Bbaek Ga in Koyote
- She's really good at interventions. - Hold on, hold on.
[The king of interventions] Don't get it wrong, though.
[Lia's like Bbaek Ga in Koyote] You're a Bbaek Ga in Itzy!
It would have become a serious fight had it not been for Lia's intervention.
[She calmed them down.] There's a reason why Itzy is so popular.
Anyway, I went back to my room, fuming a little bit.
[Got agitated too] I got sulky, too.
I went out to buy some stuff at the convenience store, and I ran into her again.
Ryujin asked me as if nothing had happened, "Where are you going?"
I said, "Convenience store."
She said, "Can I go with you?"
And I instantly forgave her, because I could tell she was trying to say sorry.
Yeah, I could tell
that she was a little bit sulky.
[It got on her radar.] She makes this particular face when she's feeling sulky.
She had that face.
[Her way of saying sorry] That's why I asked, "Where are you going?"
And she said, "Convenience store."
I said, "Can I go with you?"
And she said, "Sure!"
[Yeji forgave her instantly.] So cute!
Next time,
you should do this too, Yeji.
[Why was Ryujin mad in the first place?] Why were you mad at Yeji, anyway?
Let me explain.
There were many things going on at that time.
Many things?
No, it wasn't like that at all.
I just had a lot of complaints that I had kept to myself.
So when she told me to take something with me,
I felt like she was giving an order to me.
Aren't you a sensitive type.
You should tap on your body like this.
[Inner peace] But Ryujin later came to me and apologized.
She said, "In hindsight, I can see how I hurt your feelings, I'm sorry."
[They're a team, so they understand each other well.] She didn't feel good about what she did.
I ran into Yeji at the elevator.
You think it was a coincidence?
It was Lia's plan.
[Back to the theory that Lia's the Bbaek Ga in Itzy]
[Lia keeps the group peaceful.]
Are you two close?
Of course.
Let us prove to you how close we are.
[They've prepared a cool performance.]
[Yeji & Ryujin's performance]
[Perfect coordination] You guys have proved it!
Wait, Yeji pushed her!
[Are they fighthing again?] No, nobody pushed her!
Lia, step in!
[Cam down, girls.]
I've never seen a great duo like them ever since RYANG-HYUN RYANG-HA
Ha, I skipped school!
[Yuna's Piece-of-cake activity / Music Mafia] I'm good at Music Mafia!
[Music Mafia]
I can easily find the person who's listening to a different song.
Yuna brought an interesting game to play.
This will be fun.
Chaeryeong, what was your game?
You were sweet to her in the beginning!
I changed my mind.
I think he changed his strategy.
[Why are bad boys so attractive?] He decided to become a bad boy.
[How Koreans fall in love / "I hate him, but why do I keep thinking about him?"]
[Yuna's "U-GO-GIRL" was widely popular at the end of the year.} Everyone was talking about your interpretation of Hyo-ri's "U-GO-GIRL"!
[Y2K Goddess] - Everyone went crazy - Yeah, totally
Did fans love the clip, too?
Yeah, my fans were really proud of me.
You used to be the youngest member.
But you successfully transitioned to this hot girl.
- Your fans must have been surprised. - Yeah, a little bit.
But mostly, they were like,
["She'll be a great solo artist!"] "This is what Yuna can do!"
["She's born to do this! Everything she does on stage feels natural."] "She's also good at this kind of stuff!"
Play "U-Go-Girl" briefly for her.
Hey Hey U-GO-Girl.
Baby, baby, baby, baby girl.
[It sounds funny when he sings it.]
You're the youngest member in the group.
Do you sometimes find the older members acting weird?
Not really.
But I noticed some idiosyncrasies.
We've been together for five years now.
Already?
They changed a little bit.
I'll tell you the characteristics of each of them.
First, Lia used to eat really slowly.
She would place a lot of different dishes on the table.
And she would eat very slowly.
I see.
Lately, she eats stew in a car.
- In a car? - Yes.
What if you spill it on your clothes
[Be careful not to spill it] before you go up on stage?
She mastered the skill, and she can eat really fast now.
I didn't even know I changed like that.
- I used to eat really slowly. - I kind of feel bad for her.
So you eat hangover stew in your car?
[Joking] Yes, exactly.
- I can't go up on stage while drunk. - It's not easy to eat stew in a car.
What about you, Chaeryeong?
She really likes famine crops.
A few days ago,
-I was practicing with her. - You mean like potato, corn, and sweet potato?
During a break, I was eating bread, watching the recording of our choreography.
I heard a crunching sound.
I looked around, and there was Chaeryeong eating something.
Have you ever heard of black turtle beans?
[She was eating black turtle beans next to her.]
- It's actually quite tasty! - Yeah.
- Really? - I was surprised.
I'd never seen someone eating black turtle beans before.
I asked her, "Is it good?"
And she was like, "Do you want some?"
Why does that sound so scary?
She said,
"Do you want some?"
- So she likes famine crops. - I do.
You're a country girl.
- I also love lotus root chips. - Oh, they're actually good.
I like fried lotus root.
You two have a similar taste in food.
I could send you some deodeok if you want.
That'd be great.
Do you like kudzu, too?
No, I hate it.
[Offended] - What did you just say? - Did you saw her?
[Graceful refusal] I hate it.
I see.
Did the youngest member change a lot, too?
I've been starting to think
that Yuna is like a really cool older sister.
She doesn't feel like the youngest member anymore.
So Lia is actually stealing your position.
It's hers now.
- Did you intentionally say that? - Yuna feels older than me now.
Why are you smiling like that?
Why...
This is just how I smile!
[Smiles like a little girl]
She just looks cute!
Did she just say herself that she was born cute?
But that's what I really feel when I see Yuna lately.
[She's become mature.] - She's tall, by the way. - Yeah, she looks like a cool older sister.
Yeah, exactly.
Do you walk back to your dorm after work with bottles of soju like Mr. Gu does in "My Liberation Notes"?
I know what you mean.
[She prefers Makgeolli] - You're so cool. - I prefer Makgeolli.
Agent Yeji vs. Agent Ryujin!
Say something.
Too easy.
I'll make you regret you said that.
Ready
go!
[It got messy pretty quickly.]
[The competition is fierce] Chaeryeong made this happen!
[A new skill: water cooler] That's a smart move!
[She filled her container very fast.] That's so smart!
[Yeji is looking for the water gun.] Good move.
[Keeping each other in check] What is this?
[Last resort] I don't need a gun, I have a grenade!
[She finished assembling her gun.] Grenade!
[Finished loading her gun]
[Fire]
Okay!
Ryujin won!
[Agent Ryujin has won!]
I knew Ryujin would win.
[Ryujin's victory is an inevitable outcome.] The photo of her with the chopsticks in her nose
told me that Ryujin would win.
