A Nostalgic Chat with SEULGI and U-KNOW
In a heartwarming episode of Hi SEULGI, Red Velvet’s SEULGI welcomed the legendary U-KNOW from TVXQ! to discuss their shared love for comic books, legos, and their journeys in the K-pop industry. As a proud Cassiopeia, SEULGI couldn’t hide her excitement while hosting her idol, making this episode a treat for fans of both Red Velvet and TVXQ!.
Nostalgia at the Comic Book Store
The episode kicked off in a nostalgic comic book store, where U-KNOW reminisced about his childhood love for comics like Slam Dunk and One Piece. “I still collect them,” he shared, sparking a lively discussion about how comics inspire their creative work. SEULGI, equally passionate, noted how she draws video content ideas from comics and movies, connecting their artistic processes.
Snacks, Legos, and Childhood Memories
The duo bonded over childhood snacks like Pikachu donkatsu and cup tteokbokki, laughing about the days when 500-won snacks were a schoolyard staple. The fun continued as they tackled a lego-building challenge, with U-KNOW revealing his nickname “Destruction Man” due to his less-than-dexterous hands. Despite the playful chaos, they nearly completed a lego cat (mistakenly called a rat by SEULGI!), showcasing their chemistry.
Fashion Evolution: From Terrorist to Trendsetter
U-KNOW humorously admitted to being a “fashion terrorist” in his early days, while SEULGI recalled her own trainee struggles with style. Both artists have since become fashion icons, with U-KNOW praising SEULGI’s airport look featuring a Celine hat. Their mutual admiration as fans of each other’s work—U-KNOW as a ReVeluv and SEULGI as a Cassiopeia—added a heartfelt touch to the conversation.
K-pop Insights and Aspirations
As K-pop veterans, SEULGI and U-KNOW shared insights into their careers. U-KNOW discussed his upcoming solo album, a “fake documentary” concept, and teased its standout choreography. SEULGI, in turn, reflected on Red Velvet’s 12-year journey and her pride in inspiring younger fans. They also praised rising stars like CORTIS for their innovative approach, highlighting the evolving K-pop landscape.
MBTI and Personal Growth
The conversation took a fun turn with an MBTI discussion, revealing SEULGI as an ISFP and U-KNOW as an ENFJ. Their playful banter about realistic versus imaginative thinking styles showcased their contrasting yet complementary personalities. U-KNOW also shared his use of Mandalart for goal-setting, a practice SEULGI echoed, emphasizing their dedication to self-improvement.
Fan Moments and First Impressions
SEULGI’s inner fangirl shone as she recalled her first encounter with U-KNOW during her trainee days, sitting on the same sofa he used just to feel closer to her idol. U-KNOW, in turn, remembered SEULGI’s “pure” debut performance, despite her bold “Booyah!” stage makeup. Their shared history at SM Entertainment and mutual respect made this episode a nostalgic gem for fans.
