When talking about Jennie, Lisa recalled that the former was the only one to approach her and say hi to her in English, as the other trainees did not know how to speak the language.
This initial introduction allowed the two to become "super close," according to Lisa.
For Jisoo, who Lisa adoringly calls "unnie," the Thai idol recalled that the first time she met Jisoo, the Snowdrop actress wore a red hoodie. Lisa then revealed that Jisoo always wore that hoodie. "Seriously, every day, she wore that to practice!" Lisa emphasized.
