In particular, the "ELEVEN" singer appeared on the 7th episode of YouTube's "I didn't prepare anything (Nothing has been Prepared)," aired on December 11.
The show is hosted by rapper Lee Young Ji, who plays the role of a grandmother and serves a generous meal to guests.
Lee Young Ji presented seven side dishes, including pasta, meat, cream pasta, and salmon noodles.
In the broadcast, the two talked about Wonyoung, who is known as a "Center Idol," and Lee asked the secret to conquer the position.
"The power to trust me. It's the power to believe that what I'm doing is right. First, I love my height, 173cm. And I love my inner self," Wonyoung shared.
When asked if she doesn't feel a lot of jealousy and pressure, the rookie idol confessed she received a lot of gossips.
"But my personality is I don't feel hurt much. If this is not true and I didn't do it, it doesn't matter what you say. It doesn't bother me. You are you and I am me, I'm trying hard to do what's given to me," Wonyoung expressed how she handles rumors about her.
As a response, Lee Young Ji praised Wonyoung and said, "I hope I can work with a mindset like Wonyoung who work with the mind of doing what she wants to do and what she wants to achieve rather than trying to match people's eyes."

Fortunately, our team is not completely girl crush, but teen crush, so it's our own savage crush with a little bit of lovely high-teen sensibility," Wonyoung said.
