Her acting is perfectly effortless, as always, and makes us curious about Secretary Na's role in the future.
Secretary Na is competent, gorgeous, sassy, and stylish.

When Secretary Na witnesses Baek HyunWoo being all lovey-dovey to HaeIn, whether that be when she chokes on water and HyunWoo asks for an ambulance to be called or when her hands are cold and he puts them in his coat, BoMi's expressions are pure gold and worth making into reaction gifs.
As viewers already know that Baek HyunWoo is pretending to be affectionate to HaeIn because she only has 3 months to live, Secretary Na's reaction becomes even more relatable.

3 Highlights From Refreshing YouTube Variety Program "Idol BoMi" Featuring Chuu
Here are some highlights from Apink BoMi's "Idol BoMi" featuring happy vitamin Chuu!

Apink's Official Instagram / Chuu's Official X (Twitter)
It has now become the norm for various K-Pop idols to create their very own YouTube channels where they produce a variety of different content. In particular Apink's Yoon BoMi has done very well in the realm of YouTube with the success of her channel, "Bbom Bbom Bbom". She entertains viewers amazingly with her endless charms and uplifting personality.
One content series she has continued to produce over these past few months is "Idol BoMi". Through the show we see BoMi cater to her various idol guests, creating a comfortable atmosphere where they are able to find rest and relaxation. In doing so these idols, and even viewers at home, receive a special type of healing that can be found nowhere else.
The most recent episode featured Chuu as a beloved guest. Check out some highlights from the episode down below!
1. High Tension Chuu Unable To Sleep
One of the first things guests do when coming onto the show is hop into bed to get some well deserved sleep. Although the two idols are happy to see each other, BoMi tries to get Chuu to do just that. However, this proves to be difficult due to Chuu's high tension energy that's reminiscent of the sun. It's hilarious to watch as the veteran idol tries to coax her guest to close her eyes when all she wants to do is talk and have a good time. While it does take some time and effort, Chuu finally makes her way to dreamland, providing some much needed laughter along the way.
Due to her perpetually happy personality, it might not come as a surprise that Chuu's MBTI starts with an E — specifically, she is an ENFP. Then on the other end of the spectrum is BoMi who is an ISFP. While they get along well, you can visibly see what it's like when a power extrovert meets an introvert. However, BoMi does well to match Chuu's energy as best as she can. While their personality differences are clear, their interactions and comments are completely heartwarming, causing a smile to naturally form on your face. When Chuu mentions that she's a collector of introverts, we definitely wouldn't mind being in the presence of Chuu's energy.
The two idols end up doing an impromptu aegyo battle to see who would last the longest. While you could feel your fingers and toes curling up in embarrassment, it's extremely entertaining to watch. BoMi is all of us when she surrenders in defeat, unable to keep up with Chuu's naturally adorable nature. The fact that the veteran idol lasted more than 5 seconds is commendable, especially when up against ball of sunshine Chuu.
If you want to watch the entire episode, check it out down below.
