The Chuseok special, SBS's 'New Star King,' aired on September 28 with celebrities present to view all the awesome talent before them, one of them including Ha Ni, who was dubbed "the 4-year-old IU."
The father appeared on the show with Ha Ni, revealing that even though she did not know Korean, she learned over 100 songs by listening to them over and over all day long! Hearing this, Jackson showed a lot of interest in Ha Ni, stating, "Honestly, I still can't speak Korean well. However, I heard the letters 'JYP.'"

After she sang IU's "The Meaning of You," Jackson said, "She's really on beat. Even I'm unable to be on beat that well, so she's amazing. On top of that, when she sings, she gives off the feeling of half air, half sound in the JYP style."
When asked what J.Y. Park would do in this situation, Jackson replied, "He would cast her right away. If Ha Ni and I were to audition together, he would cast me aside and choose Ha Ni."
