Will IVE Leez have a special collaboration with her favorite idols?... Woogi-Yoon and (Favorite Camping)

IVE Leez dreamed of a special collaboration with her favorite idols.

Recently, a video titled ‘#REBELHEART-equipped Y2K Girls Return after 2 Years | Favorite Camping EP.03 [(G)I-DLE Woogi & IVE Leez & STAYC Yoon]’ was posted on the YouTube channel ‘Studio Special’. Leez, who pre-released her new song ‘REBEL HEART’ on the 13th, appeared as an MC for the episode, inviting (G)I-DLE Woogi and STAYC Yoon as her favorites.

Leez, who appeared while making her own sound effects, drew attention with her trademark blonde hair and splendid visuals. Liz said, “Since it‘s ’Favorite Camping‘, I invited two of my favorites. I’m so grateful to be able to meet them here. It‘s an honor,” looking thrilled.

Liz then started a full-fledged talk with Woogi and Yoon, who appeared. Liz said about the reason she invited the two, “I knew Yooni originally, and I wanted to become close with her. We first met at the end of 2022 for a special stage, and I invited her with the hope that we could get to know each other better at ’Favorite Camping‘.”

As various episodes unfolded, Liz couldn’t hide her shock when Yoon said, “When (Liz) was revealed as a member of IV, people around me showed me a picture saying that there was someone who looked like you,” and imitated the picture, showing off a ‘real friend’ moment. On the other hand, when Woogi tried to give him his number, he quickly handed him an invitation to ‘My Favorite Camping’ nearby, and after receiving the paper with the number written on it, he happily said, ‘This is a really nice place. What should I do? Thank you’, showing the appearance of a ‘Sungdeok’.

The three played a balance game to get to know each other better. While talking about ‘Summer VS Winter’, Liz tried to show her sharp wit by saying, “Were you born in the summer?” when Woogi revealed that he feels the cold very well. However, he failed the deduction when Woogi confessed that he was born in the fall, and said, “That‘s too bad”, looking embarrassed, making everyone laugh.

Liz, Woogi, and Yoon, who have shared a stage together once, promised to meet again in the future. When Liz asked, “The three of us have performed together on stage, what if we perform together again?” the topic of a rock band stage came up, and the atmosphere was heightened when Liz played the piano, Woogi played the guitar, and Yoon played the drums, making a perfect distribution of instruments. When Woogi said, “What? We’re totally DAY3?” the three burst into laughter and expressed their satisfaction, and promised a future together, saying, “Let‘s definitely do it together.”

Lastly, Liz made a DIY strap keyring for her ‘favorites. Liz, who was talking about the nicknames her fans gave her, said, “I’m a ‘cheese cat’. My hair is the color of cheese, so I‘m a ‘cheese cat’.” When she was complimented on making a good keyring, she couldn’t hide her smile, making the viewers happy. Also, he utilized the interlude to teach Jeju dialect such as ‘Honjeopseoye’, ‘What are you doing?’, ‘What are you eating?’, ‘Mandorong ttobbot’, showing off his unique charm until the end.

Meanwhile, Ive, which Liz is a part of, pre-released the title song ‘REBEL HEART’ of their third EP ‘Ive Empathy’ on the 13th. Ive will release their main album ‘Ive Empathy’ on February 3rd and begin full-fledged comeback activities.
