Look what we have here, two K-pop idols who are part of the same group and went to the same school!

When they became special guests in a TV show, Hwasa said that they even auditioned together: "Wheein has never said this directly to me, but from what I could tell, Wheein and I both had this conviction about ourselves. I could see that we both thought, ā€˜I will make it.’ We were determined to go to Seoul and become singers. It’s not guaranteed that you will be a singer just because you move to Seoul. However, the now-director at our agency allowed us to debut together." Awww!
