Shyness and Professionalism

Elaborating on their initial awkwardness, Lee Se-young said, “I can be a bit shy, so I tried to keep it professional with polite remarks like, ‘Yes, hello.’ It may have seemed a bit curt.” Na In-woo agreed, mentioning how turning 30 has led him to adopt a more serious demeanor. “During broadcasts, I strive to appear cheerful, but in my actual work, I focus intently, which may have given off an unapproachable vibe,” he added.
