IVE Receives Attention from Millennials for Not Knowing How to Open a Slider Phone, 07-born Leeseo Asks What a Flip Phone is
In the latest clip uploaded on IVE's official YouTube channel, IVE drew attention to the members' reactions after seeing flip phone and slider phone. As a response, millennials conveyed how they suddenly feel old, emphasizing the huge generation gap between new idols.
On the 28th, a behind-the-scenes video was posted on IVE's official YouTube channel. The video showed the six-member group filming content for 1theK Originals, "Our Beloved."
In particular, the video is comprised of IVE's vocal cover of the songs K-pop enthusiasts and listeners loved through the years, from 2002.
14-Year-Old Leeseo Stunned After Seeing a Flip Phone
In the bts clip, Jang Wonyoung, Gaeul, and Leeseo started covering Girls' Generation's "Into the New World."
The filming set followed a concept inside a shaved ice café which was popular in the 2000s, around the time the song was dropped. To give a nostalgic feeling, the studio was also filled with old items including a flip phone.
As the video went on, Leeseo, who was born in 2007, especially attracted attention as she was amazed by the flip phone and asked Wonyoung, "What is this?"
However, Jang Wonyoung who was only born in 2004 seems to know what it is but eventually shrugged her head and replied, "I don't know."

She then recalled, "When I was young, I remember decorating my folding phone because there were many cute emoticons." The Japanese-born idol expressed that she knows what a flip phone is, which is also popular in Japan back then.
After learning how to open the slider, Rei turned to her co-04 line idol Wonyoung and taught her how to use it. Jang was also surprised at how to open a different cell phone and said, "My mom used this."
