On the 19th, a video titled “The Day I Did Idol Makeup and Went to a Club with Ayumi” was posted on the YouTube channel “Hwang Jung-eum.”
That day, Hwang Jung-eum met up with Ayumi after doing her idol makeup. She introduced Ayumi, saying, “I get along well with my older colleagues, but I don’t have a single friend. She’s the only one I have.”

Upon seeing Hwang Jung-eum, Ayumi exclaimed, “There’s no idol like this. This is crazy!” She then covered Hwang Jung-eum’s revealing outfit, saying, “Go change your clothes and come back. Please blur this out.” Hwang Jung-eum introduced herself as “Empress Shi.” However, Ayumi remarked, “That’s for adults only,” and confessed, “I’m sorry, but do I really have to go with her? It’s embarrassing.”
Ayumi then looked at Hwang Jung-eum and said, “It seems like you lost weight, gained confidence, and decided to go with the ‘Jennie’ look.”
After dressing up in their best, the two headed to a snack shop. Ayumi reminisced, “We had to diet while promoting, especially Jung-eum and I,” adding, “I always craved tteokbokki. I even snuck out a few times—I went to a street food stall near Gangnam Station once.”
The two then set out to find a club, but it was closed for the day, so they ended up having a beer to make up for their disappointment before heading home.
Later, Hwang Jung-eum posted a photo with Ayumi on her social media with the caption, “A blazing Wednesday in Itaewon. Thank you so much, A-jang.”
