From Taeyeon's music video to IVE: Liz is still a fan at heart

A girl who once appeared in someone else's video now commands stages of her own. Yet, by Liz's own account, success does not switch off the fan inside her.

On the Oct. 23 edition of KBS2's The Seasons, hosted by Sung Si-kyung, Liz appeared as the 28th guest in the ‘Two People’ segment. She recalled the Taeyeon video, her nervousness when later meeting the singer, and moving from Jeju to Seoul. She also performed an AKMU duet with the host.

The charm goes beyond ‘fan meets idol.’ A successful singer can still be shy before a senior artist, while remembering fast delivery as a surprise of city life. Stardom and ordinary curiosity coexist.

What can be substantiated is Liz's on-air recollection and the conversation in the program. No unverified fan quotes or claims of nationwide reaction are presented as fact.

Liz said she grew up on Jeju Island before moving to Seoul for training. KBS lists short clips from the episode, including one about her childhood inspiration; this article does not claim to transcribe the whole show.

The Oct. 23 KBS2 broadcast featured Liz, Onew, WOODZ and NCT WISH. Subsequent coverage and program publicity both attribute her inspiration to appearing in a Taeyeon music video. The specific MV title was not established by the checked sources.

The natural follow-up is to identify the precise earlier music video and compare the archival clip with Liz's account. An unrelated Taeyeon video or childhood photo must not be mislabeled as evidence.
