They faced the cameras and audiences in their most real and comfy selves with brightly colored pajamas and name tags.The sports variety show provided fans with numerous interactions that are still memorable today, owing to the fact that they are a rare sight in the industry. Idols shared some adorable interactions with fans and more so with other agency’s groups.One of the interactions that never fails to make people laugh is EXO’s Sehun mistaking SEVENTEEN’s Jeonghan for NCT 127’s Johnny. Another one that remains a mystery is Stray Kids’ member HAN whispering something in TWICE’s Mina’s ears. There was also the case of NCT's Yuta's ring rolling over to IZ*ONE's Yena.JeongHun@jeonghun365Nothing else tops this ISAC interaction12272Nothing else tops this ISAC interaction https://t.co/gB7OJbds7GKei (케이)@babyracha_This is still the hottest thing I’ve seen from ISAC Han Jisung.93This is still the hottest thing I’ve seen from ISAC Han Jisung. https://t.co/Ig1rlgbQJ5echa ˙Ⱉ˙⠕@haecchathis yuta yena isac ring moment already 1.3M views 3this yuta yena isac ring moment already 1.3M views 😂 https://t.co/hCt72EDWsWK-pop fans are now eagerly awaiting new moments that the idols will carve in K-pop history at ISAC 2022.
