She also shared a fun moment with fellow artist Baekho, a Waterbomb veteran, who advised keeping eyes wide open to avoid water. “I should’ve asked him first!” she joked.
Soyou thanked her dancers and staff for their hard work, calling the event a “fun memory.” Despite craving Sokcho’s famous mulhoe and finding none, she left with a smile, ready to dry her hair and plan her next adventure.
