On December 16, the online channel 이지금 [IU Official] featured an episode of IU’s Palette with members of TWICE as guests, engaging in a heartfelt conversation with IU.
TWICE recently concluded their 1 year and 3-month-long world tour. When asked how they felt after completing the tour, leader Jihyo shared, “It feels amazing to have performed at such large venues, but after doing it for a year and a half, I feel a mix of emotions. It’s liberating, but there’s also a sense of emptiness since we’re no longer traveling overseas.”
IU then asked, “Does anyone remember the first time we met?” Nayeon enthusiastically responded, “I absolutely remember!” She reminisced about TWICE’s first year-end awards ceremony after their debut, saying, “I was in the makeup room when I saw IU sunbaenim washing her hands. She was wearing a purple velvet outfit that revealed her shoulders—I still remember the details because I couldn’t forget how surreal it was to meet her.”
Nayeon explained, “I had thought to myself, ‘If I debut, I’ll finally get to meet IU sunbaenim.’ When I saw her that day, it was unforgettable.”
IU also recalled the moment Nayeon gave her the sunflower. “I was heading up to receive an award at the Gaon Music Awards when Nayeon handed me a sunflower as if it had been perfectly prepared. I thought it was part of the routine to give flowers to the award recipient,” IU laughed. Nayeon reflected, “Looking back, I think I was really brave then,” and other TWICE members agreed, saying, “It was really courageous of her, especially considering how shy she is.”
IU expressed her gratitude, saying, “I was so touched that I kept the flower Nayeon gave me for months. I also remember how TWICE always clapped enthusiastically whenever I won an award, and even helped me when I got lost backstage, guiding me with, ‘This way.’” She also thanked TWICE for attending her concert as guest performers.
Meanwhile, TWICE recently released their 14th mini album, STRATEGY.
