When the idol revealed her identity, Jihan shocked MCs and viewers by revealing that she was born in 2004.
Dara, a 84-liner once again said:
"She can be my daughter. I think I debuted at that age as well."
Weeekly Jihan then continued her introduction expressing that their group's name is the representation of the weekly schedule. When asked about her role in the term, she hinted at her nickname as a bunny, saying:
"I am in charge of the day Tuesday and the animal that represents me is a bunny. My other teeth are small, so you can see my two front teeth well, so they say I look like a rabbit."
With this, the former 2NE1 member added that she is the second-generation bunny of K-pop. She highlighted her nickname, Ssan bunny.
Aside from Dara recognizing the rookie idol as her unofficial "daughter," she also acknowledged Jihan as her successor for the title, saying:
"You are my bunny hoobae (junior). You are the 4th-generation bunny after me. It's nice to meet you, bunny of the fourth generation."
