fromis_9 members Song Hayoung, Lee Chaeyoung and Baek Jiheon appeared on the Chuseok special of JTBC's 'Knowing Bros', aired on the 26th, and shared a variety of episodes. Lee Chaeyoung, who is from Pohang, revealed an episode caused by her family's dialect. She said that during a family trip abroad, people who saw her uncle and grandfather talking in dialect thought they were fighting and called the police. She also drew laughs by recalling that when she first came to Seoul, she looked at a café menu and worried about when she would memorize the standard Korean intonation, which rises at the end, unlike the Pohang dialect, which falls. Baek Jiheon said she studied history by listening to Seol Min-seok's lectures and earned a Level 1 certificate in the Korean History Proficiency Test, telling Seol, "I'm a huge fan." She added that she had enjoyed history programs since childhood and always scored 100 on history exams. Song Hayoung, drawing on her experience as a weather caster on JTBC's 'Morning&', tried a skit delivering the weather for Andong. When her distinctive intonation slipped out as the Gwangju native tried to hide her dialect, Lee Soo-geun quipped, "It sounds like a North Korean weather report," adding to the laughter. Meanwhile, fromis_9 held the '2026 fromis_9 ASIA TOUR 'TOMORROW GLOW.' IN SEOUL' at Korea University's Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul from the 4th to the 6th of this month, and will continue the Asia tour in Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong and elsewhere from October.
