* Yves: "For Chuu, I first met her at an academy. [...] because of an intro for an audition organized by the academy head, we first met. But Chuu was wearing a baseball cap and a sweater, sitting with a sorta-sulky pose. She was so quiet. I didn't have any friends at the academy back then. So I thought, "ah, we have similar personalities. We could be friends." I'm shy around strangers too. But I made up my mind, and asked her for her number. While saying we should do our auditions together. So I got to know her. And we got all the way here. But now... Was that the wrong choice back then? It might've been a mistake."LOONA Studio - yyxy Hertz
* Chuu's first impression of Yves

*Yves was filming when she first met HeeJin.
** Heejin: "I think the member who broke my first impression the most was Yves?! I first met her while she was filming. She looked very elegant there, because she was in a dress, with her hair down, in an unfamiliar environment. But when I saw her in the practice room, her casual attire was all hip-hop, dancing in a crop tee, short pants, and stuff, and she was dancing. So I was surprised, since [I] didn't expect her casual attire to be like that at all."
** Yves: "When I first met HeeJin, there was a staff next to her. And they said, 'actually HeeJin is only partially-Korean. Her grandmother is Russian.' And I took their word for it. [...] I really believed that. [...] After a week they said 'that was a lie.'"
** The staff pulled that prank often. Go Won also fell for it. Yves thought it was true because of HeeJin's nose which she finds very pretty.
