How RV Members Look at Irene:

Seulgi

  • I learned so much from Joohyun unnie. She went through all that before us. I really felt that (talking about how she have matured). I didn't know before, but Joohyun unnie must have been able to see through what I was experiencing. I felt like listening to unnie knocked some sense into me. Almost like a slap. 



Wendy
  • When she's struggling, Irene would come over to her and give her advises from her personal experience, saying 'This is how I overcame it'. She talks to her about life in a different way her member does. Like what she needs to improve on or develop for the future.
  • Wendy nicknamed her as 'The Best Woman of This Generation', for treating them with a huge meal.
  • She's a big sister that always quietly providing the members tremendous support. She knows every member better than anybody else. Always be there to protect and support the members. She's that kind of leader. 

Joy
  • Joy dislikes controlling leaders, but Irene always tell them what is wrong quietly and listens to their opinion. She also said that Irene keeps the peace of their group.
  • Joy says that the members always tell about their concerns but Irene didn't. And when they ask her 'Do you have anything to say?' Irene will always say No. This statement supports what Irene once said that she didn't want to cry in front of her members. 


Yeri

  • Yeri mentioned even when they were trainees Irene was extremely generous. She mentioned Irene would get up early to cook her meat for breakfast and would iron her school clothes for her too. 
  • Irene is my sis.

Ideal type:

  • Someone who is warmhearted and does not make her feel lonely.
  • Someone who is good at expressing themselves
  • Gentle and caring
