Fun facts

1

Yena is usually teased by Wonyoung and Yoojin for her short height whenever she's around them.

2

Street style is Yena's favorite fashion. She said she often puts on a hat/cap to match her street clothes.

3

Yena says one of the cons of promoting solo is that living alone is boring when before she used to live with 12 members, so she calls her IZ*ONE bandmates every day saying "What are you up to? Let's hang out."

4

Yena's most cherished possession is her smartphone. She loves games so much that she's always playing them whenever there's free time.

5

Yena likes riding her electric bicycle down the street when she feels down or troubled. She said doing that always manages to really turn her mood around.
