IVE's An Yu-jin calmly handled unexpected situations on the tvN variety show 'Uju Tteok House' (Space Rice Cake House), serving as a central pillar of operations.

In a recent episode, An Yu-jin handled multiple tasks, moving between the kitchen and the dining area, from serving customers to preparing food. Although she had experienced a serving mistake earlier, she quickly regained her footing after receiving encouragement from her fellow members and returned to a stable performance. She flexibly adapted to situations, such as guiding customers to their seats while taking orders at the same time, and when delivering dishes she checked more carefully than before, helping speed up service.

However, a new problem arose in the kitchen. Pizza dough that had become too thin failed to hold its shape, resulting in lower-quality pizzas. When some pizzas became misshapen or stuck to surfaces and burned, An Yu-jin judged them difficult to serve to customers and took immediate action. She ultimately concluded that taking more pizza orders would be difficult and proposed adjusting orders, assessing the situation before the problem grew and quickly shifting direction.

Despite the various unexpected situations, that day's dinner service at 'Uju Tteok House' recorded sales of 2.05 million won, the highest sales figure revealed on the broadcast. After the busy service, an unexpected touching moment followed. Upon reading a letter left by a young customer who said they loved 'Bbyong Bbyong Earth Arcade,' An Yu-jin was visibly moved by the heartfelt message.

Back at their accommodation, the cast reviewed the day's operations together. The members mentioned how An Yu-jin handled multiple tasks simultaneously and encouraged one another, while An Yu-jin herself went over the problems identified during service, working together to find more efficient ways to run the next day.

The next day brought new changes. Doh Kyung-soo appeared as a one-day part-timer, changing the atmosphere at 'Uju Tteok House.' An Yu-jin warmly welcomed Doh Kyung-soo and then began preparing new menu items. In particular, she quickly picked up the methods taught by Doh Kyung-soo, who had experience cooking tacos, helping to prepare the new menu item 'Tteok-Bbong Taco.' Unlike the tense atmosphere of the previous day, the early part of service flowed relatively smoothly, but a new crisis emerged when problems arose with the pizza dough again. Observers noted that her tendency to quickly acknowledge and find solutions to mistakes rather than hide them, along with her signature positive energy, stood out in this episode. Attention is focused on how An Yu-jin, who has experienced trial and error once before, will resolve the situation this time.

Meanwhile, as An Yu-jin's presence grows in variety shows, the movement of fan support for her group IVE is also drawing attention. As of the afternoon of the 7th, IVE ranked 17th in the October Netizens' Awards Best Group category. In contrast, in the Global Netizens' Awards Best Group category, which sees participation from global fans, IVE ranked 5th, competing from a higher position than its domestic ranking. Notably, IVE's entry into the top 5 of the Global Netizens' Awards offers a glimpse of the group's global fandom, and interest is growing over what ranking changes domestic and international fan support will each produce as the October race continues.

IVE plans to first release its title track 'Looks Can Kill' on the 19th, followed by the mini album of the same name, 'Looks Can Kill,' on the 26th. With An Yu-jin's variety show activities continuing ahead of the new album, interest in IVE is expected to rise again. As IVE demonstrates the strength of global fan support with its 5th-place ranking in the Global Netizens' Awards, all eyes are on how far the group can extend its reach in the domestic Netizens' Awards, where it currently ranks 17th, during its October comeback, and on where fan sentiment will lead.
