IllaFemme Returns from Alaska-Mexico-Japan MV Shoot without Yujin: “Where's Yujin? Did She Get Lost in Tokyo or Another Shoot Around the World?”

In the morning, Lunatics, Yujin's unofficial fanbase, couldn't help but notice the glaring absence of their beloved director and influencer in the airport. Speculations ran wild faster than you can say the hashtag “Where's Yujin?” became trending, with theories ranging from her disappearance to. Maybe she’s just taking an impromptu trip to explore the vibrant streets of Tokyo or finding inspiration in the bustling city for her next cinematic venture.

But hold on to your theories, because here's where the plot thickens: Reliable sources confirm that Yujin was spotted back in Seoul on Friday afternoon, only to vanish again on Saturday morning, reportedly bound for the Japan MV Shoot! Could this be the missing puzzle piece in the enigma of Yujin's disappearance?

IllaFemme's management played along with the fun, teasing fans with cryptic messages like, “Miss An is on a top-secret mission to find the perfect lighting for our next MV location,” leaving fans both amused and even more intrigued. So, buckle up, Lunatics! The hunt for Yujin continues, and until she resurfaces, we'll just have to keep the memes coming and enjoy the videos on her channel.

 

[+9779, -103] Yujin's disappearance has officially become the stuff of urban legend in every vlog of Yujin's besties.

I can already picture her friends rolling their eyes and muttering, 'Here we go again,' as they read this news. Yujin's disappearing act strikes again! I remember Doah and Yuna going crazy in their vlog because Yujin disappeared in the middle of the forest when they were climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Yujin's friends must have a love-hate relationship with her disappearing acts. On one hand, they're worried sick. On the other hand, they know it's just Yujin being Yujin!

 

[+9432, -98] Plot twist: Yujin's actually still in Japan, living her best life as a secret street food connoisseur. Those takoyaki stands are irresistible!

I can imagine IllaFemme and IndieGo Voyage crews frantically searching for Yujin, only to find her casually sipping bubble tea at a random café in Tokyo and asking them to return to Seoul without her. Yujin's disappearing acts are like her signature move. She's the Houdini of the K-pop world, leaving the others scratching their heads and wondering how she does it. I bet Yujin's just hiding out in some cozy Tokyo café, sipping on matcha lattes, and brainstorming her next cinematic masterpiece. Can't blame her, really.

 

[+8799, -21] Someone should check if Yujin accidentally booked a one-way ticket to Tokyo instead of a round-trip. We've all been there, right?

At this rate, Yujin's next MV should just be footage of her trying to navigate her way out of Tokyo's subway system. Now that's a storyline I'd pay to see. I can just imagine Yujin wandering around Tokyo with a camera in one hand and a map upside down in the other. Classic director move! I can already picture Yujin's next interview: 'So, Yujin, where have you been?' Yujin: 'Oh, you know, just casually teleporting between Seoul and Tokyo. No biggie.'

 

[+7779, -11] Rei-chan and Lizzie said on the Nebula that the IllaFemme MV shooting was still not finished and they would leave for Cairo after the Circa press conference. Either Yujin will return to Seoul or go straight to the next shooting location. We will see later.

But seriously, I wonder why Yujin returned to Seoul earlier even though all the IllaFemme members have been in Tokyo since Friday? It'll be hilarious if Yujin returns to Seoul tomorrow morning and leaves for Cairo with IllaFemme in the night. IllaFemme's management team must be secretly enjoying all the buzz around Yujin's disappearing acts in the middle of filming IllaFemme MV. Free publicity at its finest! IllaFemme's management team deserves an award for keeping up the anticipation.

Sumida River, Tokyo

Sunday, November 30th, 2025 

“Unnie, I didn’t need anything. Just stay here, it’s cold. I need you to hug me.” Wonyoung pulled Yujin's jacket closer and nestled her face into Yujin's chest, finding solace in the warmth of her embrace amidst the bustling passengers around them. Yujin couldn't help but smile tenderly at the sight of Wonyoung, her sleepy eyes seeking comfort in her arms. It was a moment of quiet intimacy—a moment that seemed to encapsulate everything they shared.

As Wonyoung snuggled closer into Yujin's chest, Yujin couldn't shake off the overwhelming feeling of love and gratitude for having Wonyoung by her side. The events of the previous night replayed in her mind, still surreal in their unexpectedness. Wonyoung had followed Yujin to Tokyo, seeking nothing but the solace of her presence. The younger girl had hidden away in her hotel room after securing permission from her manager, showering Yujin with kisses and hugs upon her return from work. And now, here they were, wrapped in each other's arms, their hearts speaking a language of their own.

 

“Unnie, have you prepared for next week?” Wonyoung's voice was soft, and her cheeks flushed, as she regulated her breath after their long kiss.

Wonyoung sat in Yujin's lap. Her hands reached out to straighten Yujin's tousled hair. Her fingers gently caressed Yujin's hair, a silent gesture of affection as she leaned into Yujin's warmth.

Yujin's eyes sparkled with tenderness at the sight of Wonyoung's gentle touch. She couldn't help but feel a rush of overwhelming love for the girl in her arms, a love that transcended mere words.

“Hmm... I've prepared everything in the car because I thought I would head straight back to Seoul. Tonight, I'll just spend my time with you in Astreaia,” Yujin murmured, her voice a gentle caress against Wonyoung's ear.

Wonyoung's heart skipped a beat at Yujin's words, her cheeks flushing with warmth at the thought of having Yujin all to herself. It was moments like these that made her realize just how deeply she cherished their bond, how every second spent in Yujin's presence felt like a precious gift.

“Have you had dinner?” Yujin's voice was filled with concern as she gently brushed a stray strand of hair away from Wonyoung's face, her touch sending shivers down Wonyoung's spine. Yujin leaned in to give Wonyoung another quick peck before enveloping her in a tight hug. Her fingers traced gentle patterns on Wonyoung's back.

Wonyoung shook her head, her mind too preoccupied with the happy emotions coursing through her veins to think about something as trivial as food. She loosened her embrace to gaze into Yujin's eyes.

“Can we return to Seoul on Monday morning?” Wonyoung suggested, her eyes shining with excitement as she leaned in closer to Yujin. “I want to spend the entire weekend with you.”

“What?!” Yujin's eyes widened in surprise.

“We'll be busy next week. I'll be in Paris and Milan until the end of the week, and you'll continue your filming in Cairo and Auckland. I'm not even sure if I can make it to Doah Unnie's birthday party with you because of my work. We'll be apart again, and I can't wait too long. Let's consider Tokyo as our first honeymoon before we go to Hawaii,” Wonyoung exclaimed with excitement.

Yujin's heart swelled with love at Wonyoung's words, a rush of warmth flooding her veins at the thought of having more time to spend with the girl she loved. “But you'll be tired if we only return on Monday,” Yujin pointed out, her voice filled with concern. “That day, there are two press conferences you need to attend.”

“I just want to be near you and spend time with you,” Wonyoung pouted. Her eyes shone as she poured her heart out to Yujin. “I need to recharge my energy because I'll be separated from you. Yes or yes?”

Yujin couldn't refuse. She, who was supposed to return to Seoul that night, abandoned her plans and allowed Wonyoung to spend the long night with her, enveloping her in kisses and embracing her once more.

 

“Is your fever really gone?” Yujin's voice was soft, filled with genuine care as she held Wonyoung close. As Yujin kissed Wonyoung's forehead, a wave of tenderness washed over her. Despite the bustling crowd around them, Yujin's world narrowed down to the girl in her arms, her heart swelling with love and concern.

“We should stay at the hotel and not wander like this. It's cold outside, and you're not fully recovered yet,” she murmured, rubbing Wonyoung's arms gently in an attempt to provide comfort and warmth.

Wonyoung couldn't help but chuckle at Yujin's words, her heart fluttering at the sight of Yujin's unwavering concern. Despite her lingering fatigue, Wonyoung felt a surge of warmth spreading through her veins, fueled by the love and care radiating from Yujin's touch.

“Are you serious about questioning that after what we've been doing all day?” Wonyoung teased, her eyes sparkling with affection as she leaned into Yujin's embrace. It was moments like these that made her realize just how deeply she cherished their bond, how every second spent in Yujin's presence felt like a precious gift.

Throughout the day, they explored the city together. After breakfast, they left the hotel and strolled around Inokashira Park. Their laughter mingled with the gentle rustle of leaves in the park and the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Each moment was a testament to their love, a celebration of the bond they shared. After that, their date continues to the Mori Art Museum. They even visited a sauna house to relax and rest their bodies for a while. They ended their date with a dinner cruise.

As they reminisced about their day, Wonyoung couldn't help but feel content with a rush of emotions. It wasn't just the joy of spending time with Yujin that filled her heart; it was the depth of their connection and the unspoken promises of a future filled with love and happiness.

“I just need to sleep and cuddle with you,” Wonyoung murmured, her voice soft with exhaustion but filled with contentment. “You hugged me before going to Tokyo, and you hugged me again all night. I feel so healthy. I'm just sleepy because I'm too happy to spend the whole day with you. Especially after what we did all night,” she admitted, her cheeks flushing with warmth at the memory of their intimate moments together.

Yujin laughed softly at the sight of Wonyoung's sleepy smile. She couldn't resist the urge to hold her even closer, her hand gently caressing Wonyoung's back in a silent gesture of affection. One thing she knew could make Wonyoung fall asleep again.

“Don't make me sleep because there are many things I want to talk about,” Wonyoung sighed, her eyes fluttering closed as she leaned against Yujin's shoulder. Despite her exhaustion, she couldn't bear the thought of ending their precious moment together. She always liked being in Yujin's warm embrace. “Actually, there's nothing I want to discuss. I just want to hear your voice while hugging you.”

“Did you enjoy it? Our date?” Yujin asked.

“I love it!” Wonyoung kissed Yujin's cheek and took her hand in hers. “This is our proper first date overseas after we started dating. I can't wait for our next date!”

“We have plenty of time for that.”

As they wrapped themselves in each other's arms, their hearts beating as one, they knew that their love spoke volumes more than any conversation ever could.

At that moment, Wonyoung reminisced about the heartwarming encounter with the lost little girl. A soft smile graced her lips, reflecting the warmth that filled her heart. The memory of Yujin's gentle and compassionate demeanor towards the lost child this afternoon lingered vividly in her mind, painting a picture of the kind of parent Yujin would be.

While they were walking around the Mori Art Museum, they accidentally met a four-year-old girl who was separated from her parents. The child was sobbing, confused, and scared. Some people tried to coax her to take her to the information center, but the child only cried louder. The sight of the distressed little girl tugged at their heartstrings, prompting Yujin to spring into action with her characteristic kindness and compassion. Yujin approached and kneeled in front of the little girl, meeting her gaze. Yujin spoke calmly until the child stopped crying and reached out her hand, asking to be picked up. Gently, Yujin picked up the child and reached for Wonyoung's hand, holding it as they walked together to the information center.

As they walked hand in hand towards the information center, Wonyoung felt a surge of warmth and pride in her heart, witnessing Yujin's unwavering care and dedication to helping others. The way Yujin effortlessly connected with the child spoke volumes about her nurturing nature and innate ability to comfort those in need.

Within ten minutes, the child's parents arrived and thanked them. As they parted ways, the child alternately hugged and kissed Yujin and Wonyoung on their cheeks with her adorable smile.

“Unnie, you know, when I saw you so easily handling the lit
