Jang Won Young revealed, "I'm not shy at all" and Jang Do Yeon asked, "Do you approach people first?" Jang Won Young shared, "Yeah! I'm not shy to approach people or to talk in front of a crowd. Ever since I started working, I never had a hard time on programs or was embarrassed. I don't think I've ever been nervous."

In response, Jang Do Yeon asked, "Then what are you scared of?" and Jang Won Young responded, "Like stuff that's scary! Ghosts... Bugs...!" She added, "When I watch a horror movie with ghosts, I have to turn on all the lights when I go to the bathroom for a month."

Korean netizens commented: 

"I think she has a friendly personality but isn't the type to go around showing off her friendships. I think that's wise though."

"There're a lot of fans who don't like it when their idols show off their friendship with the right or wrong people. So I like that she doesn't go around showing off her friendships."

"I think for an idol, what's important is that they're good at their job and they treat their fans well."

"Why does she need to show off her friendship to do work?"

"I think she is so smart."

"Won Young is really awesome."
