On January 23, Yuju appeared as a guest Chaoroom the YouTube channel hosted by Cao Lu, in a video titled “An epic backstory!… GFRIEND’s lead vocalist who almost debuted with ‘Cheetah’s fastest weekend‘.” During the episode, the two idols shared candid stories from their apprentice and dorm days.
Cao Lu first recalled how idols often found ways to escape the dormitory manager to get food from the convenience store, describing small acts of rebellion carried out under the pretext of taking out the trash. Yuju then revealed that she and the GFRIEND members had their memorable rule-breaking moment before debuting.
According to Yuju, the group was exhausted while preparing for their debut song “Glass bead.” Wanting to breathe fresh air and feel a sense of freedom, all six members secretly left the rehearsal room through a back exit while the song played on repeat inside. They headed to the Han River, where they ended up playing dodgeball until 3 in the morning
Yuju added that the members kept the ball with them when they returned to the dormitory and knelt before their team leader to apologize. As they bowed their heads in silence, one member still held the ball, prompting them to finally confess that they had gone to play dodgeball at the Han River.
The light-hearted story brought laughter, highlighting the group’s youthful and innocent bond during their internship days. Meanwhile, Yuju continued his career as a solo artist after GFRIEND disbanded. The group reunited last year to release their special 10th anniversary album, The season of memories .
