Haewon explained that although she enjoys making people laugh, her humor often differs between on-screen and off-screen settings.

“When I’m not filming, I like to make people laugh with words. But my broadcast image is a bit chaotic,” he said, referring to his “Workdol” look. “My friends called me afterward and said, ‘What’s wrong with you? Why were you like that?'”

Haewon also described herself as an introvert (I) in MBTI terms, admitting that she gets bolder during filming.

“When the camera is on, I finally have a reason to talk. It gives me an excuse to joke without worrying that people will misunderstand me,” he said.

Jang Do-yeon agrees, adding:

“It’s really true. I also feel a little nervous when speaking without a microphone after the recording is finished.”

Their candid exchange sparked laughter among viewers and highlighted Haewon’s self-awareness and professionalism, qualities that quickly made her one of the fourth generation idols.

Haewon joins the ranks of JYP’s most beloved variety idols, following in the footsteps of Nichkhun at 2pm, TWICE’s NayeonAND Yuna from ITZY. With her natural wit, expressive reactions and confident charm, Haewon has already been praised as one of K-pop’s next prominent personalities.
