MBLAQ G.O., Girl's Day, former 2NE1 Dara, EXID Hyolyn, and more confessed past broadcasts that idols dating usually exchange glances and communicate through gestures at ISAC.
However, Apink members who came from second-generation of K-pop testified that the scene during actual ISAC is different.
"When I'm lying down, my makeup collapses. Everyone is angry there," Eunji said. Mijoo also added that her eyelashes were also gone during ISAC, implying that it is no place to look pretty and date with male idols.
"If my heart sprouts there, it will be for a hundred years," the Apink member added. Yoon Bomi responded, "You should get married (to him)," making members laugh.
