Irene tagging along with a friend to SM auditions, not getting accepted, having that rejecting suddenly making her want to become an idol, to then 2 years later SM to reach out to her and offer a contract. This one makes me laugh sometimes cos thinking about her competitive attitude it makes me think she chose to want to be an idol only because she told she couldn’t. But in true Irene fashion she ended up winning anyway and they sort her out.

Also RV related, I always thought it was sweet how all 5 of them share the experience of not being scouted but having to audition. Particularly Seulgi and Yeri who are among only 7 idols at SM to pass the Saturday auditions which were known to be harder.
