But that wasn't all Wheein revealed during the show. She also shared her heartwarming story of getting close to fellow Mamamoo member Hwasa.
Recounting their school days, Wheein said:
"Except for Moonbyul, our members are shy of strangers. They are very outgoing once you get to know them. During middle school days, Hwasa approached me first and said she wanted us to be friends."
Wheein had initially been hesitant, recalling:
"Originally, I thought I should never become friends with Hwasa. On the first day of school, she was singing in front of the classroom locker.
I thought 'I should avoid becoming friends with that person,' but that friend came to me and asked to be friends."
