Irene didn't want to be an idol.
Most people don't know this and the few who does misunderstood it.
Is not that she didn't want to be an idol is simply that she didn't know she could be one.
Irene grew up loving music thanks to her dad, but for her, music was a global thing, not knowing in certain countries they have their own rules.
And it wasn't until she moved to South Korea when she was 13 that she discovered Kpop, falling in love with the live performance, the singing and the dancing.
Irene constantly switch languages when speaking, she also tends to call the boys 哥 (Ge) (Chinese honorific to call older males) instead of 오빠 (Oppa) (Korean honorific for females to call older males).
(Please if you are not Asian don't be weird and call random Asian people with honorifics unless they tell you to)
She often says things in Spanish too and get confused with a few words in Korean.
Luckily the members far from making fun of her are always up to helping her. (Maybe a few teasing words get in the way)
Irene is surprisingly active on her YouTube channel !
She has a lot of variety, from daily vlogs to the occasional Genshin gameplay and some dance covers.
It's not often but she also likes to surprise us by filming with other idols ! So far in her channel she has invited other ATEEZ members of course, AleXa, some Stray Kids members, Yiren from Everglow... even Shownu from Monsta X !
