The famous webtoon that will soon be released in the form of a drama, 'Yumi's Cells' apparently chose this senior idol as the inspiration for the main character.
On September 7, 2021, the artist from the webtoon 'Yumi's Cells', Lee Dong Gun, conducted an interview discussing his work.
Lee Dong Gun responded to one of the questions that questioned his inspiration in making the character Yumi.
“I used AOA's ChoA as visual inspiration (from Yumi). When the series started, ChoA's hairstyle was very similar to Yumi's. I thought her hairstyle was pretty and thought she looked like a webtoon character,” explained Lee Dong Gun.
Knowing the interview article, ChoA admitted that she was shocked by this and posted it on her personal Instagram account, "What!! I became the inspiration for the appearance of the main character from the famous webtoon!! Very cool! Thank you artist Lee Dong Gun. I hope you continue to have good luck!”, said ChoA in her post caption.
Meanwhile, the drama 'Yumi's Cells' itself will start airing on September 17, 2021, which stars Kim Go Eun as Yumi. (www.kpopchart.net)
