ILLIT's Wonhee Shares Her Experience of Turning 20 and a Unique Nickname

ILLIT's Wonhee opens up about the changes she's experienced since turning 20.

On the web variety show 'Salon Drip 2', released on the 5th, ILLIT members Wonhee and Yoona appeared as guests. Now in their third year as idols, they engaged in a lively conversation with Jang Do-yeon.

When asked when she feels like an adult, Wonhee humorously remarked, "Since the first digit of my age changed, I don't have the same energy as before." She added, "After I mentioned on a show that I could confidently go to a convenience store with my ID, I haven't been carded once," expressing her disappointment. She jokingly resolved, "Next time, I'll stick my ID on my forehead."

The episode also revealed a unique nickname given to Wonhee by fellow member Yoona. Yoona shared, "One day during practice, I saw Wonhee in the mirror, and perhaps due to the lighting, she looked a bit scruffy." Finding it endearing, she nicknamed Wonhee 'Dirt-covered Potato.' In response, Wonhee humorously suggested a compromise, preferring to be called a 'Rest Stop Braised Baby Potato' instead.
