Long before setting their iconic stage performance, YONGYONGZ had already captured hearts with their playful interactions on several variety shows.
Remember them being co-MCs at the “2019 Ulsan Asia Song Festival” along with SF9’s Chani? Back then, they already displayed a playful ease and infectious laughter that captivated fans, earning them the endearing nickname “2Hwang” long before they became YONGYONGZ.
That spark continued to flicker on variety shows like 2021’s “ISAC New Year’s Special”, where they danced their way through K-Pop hits which ignited anticipation for a future collab.
Social media is proof of the burning desire. Posts with pleas and detailed proposals for what their future collaborations concept could be are trending.
The future looks bright for YONGYONGZ, and fans are hopeful that JYP Entertainment will heed their calls and make this duo official. The fans’ unwavering dedication are a testament that their seamless blend of synchronized dance moves and captivating stage chemistry left an impact on the K-Pop industry.
