Ahn Yujin’s Adventurous Spirit in Portugal

Recently on the tvN’s variety show BbyongBbyong Earth Arcade Season 3 (Georakshil 3), we witness an unforgettable episode featuring Ahn Yujin from the popular group Ive, alongside her fellow cast members Lee Young-ji, Mimi, and Lee Eun-ji, as they explore the beautiful city of Lisbon, Portugal. As the group embarks on their free travel episode, Ahn Yujin quickly takes charge in her unique, witty way.

Breaking the ‘Maknae’ Mold

During the episode, while preparing for their outing, Ahn Yujin humorously calls out to the producer, Na Young-seok, holding a navy jacket and a white hoodie in her hands. She wittily asks, “Which one should I wear?” Caught off guard, Na Young-seok recognizes the navy jacket as his own and expresses his surprise. To which Ahn Yujin confidently replies, “You promised to give it to me,” inducing laughter among her castmates. Her quick-thinking personality shines when she tells Na Young-seok “Hyung, choose,” insisting on his decision. Despite Na Young-seok’s lack of preference, she swiftly puts on the white hoodie and smoothly hands the navy jacket over to Lee Eun-ji, displaying her ‘maknae on top’ prowess.

Ahn Yujin’s Leadership and Charisma

Later in the episode, Ahn Yujin further surprises her teammates by demonstrating leadership skills that surpass her age. A wardrobe discussion involving the jacket’s color quickly turns into a democratic debate among cast and staff. Ahn passionately declares her preference for the white jacket, pushing the situation to a vote, which ends in a tie. Her determination ultimately sways the entire staff to agree with her, highlighting her influential ‘maknae power.’

Bringing Laughter with Role Play

Understanding the weight of her decisions, Ahn soon expresses apologies to Lee Eun-ji with a warm hug. Responding humorously, Lee mimics a ‘manager’ role, stating, “Hold on, our unnie needs to check her makeup,” further adding a comedic twist to the moment and leaving everyone in stitches.

Dominating On and Off Screen

Throughout the segment, Ahn Yujin naturally shifts from playful antics to assertive decisions, showcasing growth as both a celebrity and a person. Her ability to balance humor with authority demonstrates an admirable aspect of her personality, earning her admiration not only from her fans but from her peers and production staff.

Ive‘s Ahn Yujin clearly proves that being the youngest doesn’t limit her from commanding attention and respect, breaking traditional boundaries and setting a new benchmark for variety show dynamics.
