IVE’s Rei Brings Fresh Energy to JTBC Variety Show

K-pop sensation and IVE member Rei has quickly become the fan-favorite on JTBC’s newly premiered reality program, captivating viewers with her humor and candid personality.

On the debut episode of ‘Jib Nagamyeon Gae Hogang’, Rei instantly set the tone by playfully announcing her intention to become the head of the show’s ‘puppy kindergarten.’ Her lively interactions and spontaneous wit made her stand out from the group.

When fellow cast member Jeon Hyun-moo promised frequent team outings, Rei won fans over with her adorable response, “Sounds good!” She went on to display her bold side, telling the new ‘principal’ that she would prefer he not scold the members, charming both cast and audience with her straightforwardness.

Rei’s authentic and unfiltered personality—so representative of Gen Z—shined throughout the show. During a staff meeting, she declared, “If we keep chatting like this, the day will be over. Let’s cut the small talk!” Her decisive attitude drew praise from cast mates Park Sun-young and Kang So-ra, who called her a natural leader.

The highlight of the episode came when Rei discovered Jeon Hyun-moo’s six puppies, reacting with genuine surprise and affection. Her spontaneous question, “Why did you do this?” referencing all his actions, brought laughter to the set and showed off her unpredictable nature.

With her unique blend of honesty, energy, and humor, Rei is quickly becoming the breakout star of JTBC’s latest TV sensation, signaling yet another shining moment for IVE in the world of entertainment.
