LUMINARC: BEHIND THE SCENES
Choi Ji-woo's 5 Legendary Archives

🍲

01. Legendary 'Haejangguk House' Street Casting

Before her debut, she was cast while eating a bowl of sundae soup alone at a neighborhood **old sundae haejangguk restaurant** in her school uniform. The manager, captivated by Ji-woo's profile through the window, was reportedly astonished and exclaimed, "A doll is eating haejangguk", upon seeing her with a bit of soup on her lips.

🎥

02. 'Miracle Middle Schooler' 5-Second Fan Cam Viral

A **mere 5-second video** of her pushing back her sweat-drenched bangs under the natural sunlight at the school festival took the Korean internet by storm. With tens of thousands of comments urging, "Debut her immediately," it became the decisive moment that shook the world as Luminarc's hidden card.

👻

03. Practice Room 'Ji-woo Ghost' Incident

At 4 AM, the security guard was dispatched after hearing singing and footsteps from the darkened practice room. It turned out Ji-woo was practicing alone, trying to perfect her choreography angles in the pitch-black darkness where she couldn't even see the mirror. This is a representative anecdote showcasing her extreme 'workaholic' nature.

🧂

04. 'Salt Sommelier' Confiscation Incident

During a strict diet period where she only ate sweet potatoes, she carried **samples of salt from around the world** in her bag. She was caught by her manager and had them confiscated after trying to teach the members about how "pink salt tastes like steak." That day, Ji-woo reportedly shed tears while drinking zero-calorie soda, lamenting, "Salt has zero calories, this is too much."

✨

05. Music Show 'Ending Fairy's Fatal Secret

The legendary ending wink from her debut stage. In reality, it was because she was so hungry that her vision momentarily blurred, causing her to squeeze her eyes shut and then open them. Fans praised it as genius stage presence, but Ji-woo later confessed with a laugh, "I saw a steaming bowl of haejangguk floating in front of my eyes then."

“The humanity of a 16-year-old hidden behind perfection, LUMINARC JI-WOO”
