First airing late November 2023, Episode 27 of Eunchae's Star Diary was a treat two times over. It begins with the staff celebrating Eunchae's 17th birthday in a way that's too cute. Then, she has a chit-chat with two Red Velvet members: Seulgi and Yeri.
One thing that raised the watchability factor for this episode was seeing how Eunchae connected to both members individually. In Seulgi's case, it was an affinity of personalities (both are homebodies who like to spend some time alone.) I'd throw in that they're both superb dancers too, heheh.
Meanwhile, Yeri is Red Velvet's maknae. So there are shared experiences w/r/t how they're meant to be the 'cute ones' (including wearing pigtails). There's a moment in which Yeri mentions to Eunchae how she (Eunchae) has to enjoy the present because it's so fleeting. Eunchae pouts a little (cuz, for all intents and purposes, she's still a 17 y.o.), but I got the sense that she took that comment to heart in a way.
Fast forward to Episode 37 March of this year. Eunchae's guest is none other than Red Velvet's Wendy!
Here's where I have to admit that I don't know much abt RV's members (as in their personalities, dynamics, etc), so I was SHOCKED to learn that Wendy's a chatterbox! She's game with whatever topic Eunchae brings up, adds her own commentary, is somewhat goofy, always sweet, and funny. Like Eunchae, the entire episode seemed to have flown by.
Even though this might be one my fave episodes, I do have to add a heavy trigger warning because some parts of it include talk of idol diets, exercise, body image, and the perfectionism that fuels all three things. I can imagine those scenes being upset to some who deal with ED and the like so, you know, thread carefully. <3
Wendy was promoting her latest single ("I wish you hell"). Personally, I thought it was all right?
