personality —
( cheerful & friendly ) All throughout the show, UI was the judge who showed the most compassion, she is friendly, to all the contestant, she even made some contestants get along, and she was credited for breaking the tension. She greets everyone and talks about almost anything, fangirling about comics with the male contestant, fangirling about male boy groups with the female contestant, and talking about what brand produces the best fashion items with the contestant, though she promotes her own brand too, sometimes. The contestant befriends her quickly, thanks to her cheerful and friendly nature.
( loud & talkative ) She is famous, in fact, before she became a Style 101 Judge, for her talkative nature, she talks to fans on the street, she talks to stranger, she's just one of those people that can't shut up. During her stay with the contestant, as she helps around with the workshop, she talks a lot and gives tons of advises, she is also famous for having many idol friends in the real world due to this. Though this makes her a very loud person which contrasts the personality of Jessica, they are still friends somehow. She has this ability to make even the quietest people on the room became talkative after the first meet.
( hyper & clumsy ) Due to this, people call UI a hyper idol, as she jumps around a lot and talks to tons of people, she never seems to run out of energy. When the workshop expands until late night, she is the one still with a smile on her face, as she gives some of the contestants candy to thank for their hard work. She also has a tendency to be very clumsy, knocking things on set, and breaking glasses sometimes, though her best friend Jessica calls it a funny trait, UI hates it a lot because it made her seem meek while she wants to act like a graceful elegant lady like Jessica, though Jessica laughs saying it's impossible.
