NMIXX’s Haewon: Meme Genius Behind an Embarrassing Meme?

At 10:30 PM on August 28, MBC’s variety show Radio Star will broadcast a special episode titled “I Really Like You,”which was planned by Kang Young-sun and directed by Kim Myung-yeop and Hwang Yoon-sang. The episode will feature guests Shin Gye-sook, Kang Joo-eun, Ye-won, and NMIXX’s Haewon.

Despite it being her debut on Radio Star, Haewon, the leader of NMIXX and known as the “4th Generation Ambition Idol,”immediately caught the attention of viewers with her impressive variety show skills. Even JYP Entertainment’s Park Jin-young couldn’t ignore her presence. Her confident declaration of “I’m here to take over Radio Star today!”showcased her bold charm and reportedly captivated the show’s MCs, including Kim Gu-ra.

During the episode, Haewon proudly shared her prepared impression for the show, declaring, “I was the first.”She wowed everyone with her flawless mimicry of the MZ generation’s speech patterns, specifically mimicking Joo Hyun-young’s “Reporter Joo”and Ji Ye-eun’s “Chorong’s Girlfriend.”Not only did she perfectly capture the MZ-style speech, but she also impressed with her spot-on imitation of Kang Joo-eun.

A segment titled the “Meme Quiz” was organized to highlight Haewon’s expertise in memes, earning her the title of “Meme Genius” for her extensive knowledge of various memes. Furthermore, Haewon revealed the background behind one of her embarrassing experiences that turned into a meme. She revealed that during a performance of a BLACKPINK cover, she made a mistake in the opening verse due to the overwhelming nerves of performing on such a grand stage for the first time. Haewon openly admitted, “It was a heartbreaking moment for me. Despite my efforts to remain composed, it was a challenging situation,” sparking interest in the specific incident.

Initially a guest on Workdol Season 1, Haewon caught the attention of the producers and was invited to become the MC for Season 2. Since then, she has been actively involved and her exceptional hosting skills have not gone unnoticed. As a result, she has been receiving numerous offers from popular TV variety shows. Additionally, she has been chosen to co-host MBC’s Idol Star Athletics Championships during the Chuseok holiday, with fellow MC Jeon Hyun-moo. With her success on Workdol, the MCs of Radio Star have jokingly predicted that she will soon be overwhelmed with advertisement offers.

Haewon’s live performance of NMIXX’s “별별별 (See that?)”and a medley of dances from popular boy groups showcased her exceptional vocals and charisma, leaving the audience in awe and showcasing a different side to her usual variety show persona.

Haewon’s aspirations for variety shows and her first appearance on Radio Star can be watched on the episode airing at 10:30 PM on the 28th.
