( 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.

( the beginning of life ) UI was born in Seoul, South Korea, and she was never interested in singing until elementary grade three at age 10, in which she broke a vase by accident and was told to sing in front of the whole class, and by accident impresses everyone, during that time period, her friends and teachers all told her to audition and so she did. She first started at Woolim Entertainment, in which she met her future boyfriend L, they dated for a long period of time, until now, but in Woolim, she felt like the management style just wasn't for her, so she tried again, this time at SM entertainment, and she got accepted again, here she met Jessica Jung, she was unfortunately dropped as a trainee by SM for not showing any progress, and that's when she auditioned for JYP, JYP took an immediate liking to her, and she debuted within one year of training. She garnered her fame through her big break of singing "U&I" (originally by Ailee) as K-Netizens are impressed by her vocal range, and her fresh persona.

( people will stare. make it worth their while ) she wanted to choose her career in fashion, after in a fanmeet, a fan told her she would like to be more confident by wearing clothes like UI, since she thinks she is the best K-Fashion Icon, and she was touched, thus, she opened her fashion mall named "SOLEIL" in 2012, as soon as it's opened, it immediately garnered large attention and the site crashed within a few minutes of opening due to the influx of visitors, and the item that were available that time, including sweater, a skater skirt, and a pair of sunglasses were sold out within 3 hours. Now the influx of customers aren't as bad as when it opened, but there are still a lot. Her site host the category "Eyewear", "Denim", "Ready to wear", "Cosmetics", "Accessories", "Tops", "Bottoms", and "Footwear". the male models are Infinite L, for 75% of the shoot, and 2PM, GOT7, DAY6 and 2AM members for the rest, while the female models are 80% UI herself, and the rest are Miss A and TWICE. Her brand is similar to a mix of FOREVER21 and H&M.

The fans originally shipped them after they became MC for a show. It was to the point where they became the "Specials" of Hello, Counselor Valentine Edition, and the rating increased by 2.5%.

He and UI is famous for being the dorkiest couple on the showbiz, that's why tons of fans like them, and Inspirit never sent UI hates.
