Yeji once made a mistake while giving an award acceptance speech and startled ITZY members

This situation is often considered serious, but since Yeji didn’t have much experience in giving awards speeches, netizens found her mistake understandable.

What fans want to see the most at every year-end award ceremony is the moment when their idols are called on the stage to receive an award and deliver their acceptance speech. However, being pressured by the honor of receiving an award, many idols were too nervous to the point that they even made some mistakes while giving their speech.

After their successful debut, ITZY swept all the rookie awards from the end of 2019 to early 2020. That might explain why leader Yeji mistook the name of the Gaon Chart Music Awards 2019 for another one.

In particular, while delivering her acceptance speech at the Gaon Chart Music Awards, she mistakenly called it the Golden Disc Awards. Although Yeji immediately realized it and fixed her words, Lia, Ryujin, Yuna, and especially Chaeryeong showed lots of funny reactions to their leader’s mistake. From being shocked to getting embarrassed, ITZY looked so confused but yet so cute, just like how a rookie group should be.

It was considered disrespectful to say the wrong name of award ceremonies, but Yeji’s case was understandable given that ITZY had not yet experienced many award stages at that time.

ITZY are now mature girls and have a certain foothold in the Kpop market. The group will no longer be JYP’s maknae group as the next girl group will debut in 2022. However, surely ITZY will never forget the lovely moments when they were rookies.
