Yena’s nicknames are Duck, Yejulia, Kitty, My Chew, etc. Please make no mistake
Yena announced her height as 163cm in her produce 48 profile and when working in IZONE, I need everyone to update the correct information.
I need someone to update Yena’s profile picture when she graduated from Hanlim. Yena’s card photo has been published since 2018 but why hasn’t anyone changed it yet?
