On the bayfm radio show “Tonight, Under Sakura’s Tree” (every Wednesday 24:00-24:30), broadcast on Wednesday, June 3, 2020.
IZ*ONE’s Miyawaki Sakura was asked by a listener about an episode where she recently thought a member was cute.
Miyawaki Sakura: Tochigi Prefecture, radio name “Nare”.
Thank you.
Listener email: Saku-chan. I enjoy listening to the radio every week.
It’s still difficult to go out, but I’m very happy and excited to hear about IZ*ONE’s comeback. I know it’s going to be hard, but please take care of yourself and do your best.
I play “SUPERSTAR IZ*ONE” every day.
I listened to all the members’ voices (their lines on the home screen), and they were all cute.
Eunbi’s Japanese was especially cute and soothing.
Please tell us if you have an episode where you recently thought a member was “cute”.
Miyawaki Sakura: Well, recently Yuri appeared on a show called “King of Masked Singer.”
I think it’s a Korean variety show, right? … She appeared on an entertainment show.
What kind of show it is, all the singers who appear on the show wear “masks.” Then they compete without knowing who they are, and whoever comes in first at the end becomes the champion of the week… It’s a show like a “singing battle,” and Yuri appeared on it by herself… Actually, Eugene also appeared once a long time ago, around the time of “La Vie en Rose.”
…So this time, Yuri is the second member of IZ*ONE to appear on “King of Masked Singer,” and she made it to the third round.
Apparently, if she had made it to the third round, Eunbi had promised to “buy her expensive socks” (laughs). I think it was socks… or shoes… but I think it was “socks”…
Well, it was something to do with “shoes.”
And we somehow made it to the third round…it was right when we were preparing for our current comeback.
We were in the middle of learning the choreography and Yuri had to leave alone to go to recording.
After everyone finished practicing, I looked at the group on Katok (KakaoTalk) and Yuri had said “We’ve made it to the third round…Eunbyo unni, please buy me some socks!”.
We were all like “Wow, congratulations!” It was so cute when she did that…
I thought it was cute when Yuri asked for “expensive socks” after making it to the third round, and the fact that she made it to the third round was really…amazing.
I thought she really is just what you’d expect from our main vocalist.
