Even after years of training together, the members go on to work and play round-the-clock together, living in dorms while promoting their projects and dissecting every move after they happen, as you would with a sibling. \u201cEven though we&#8217;re together 24\/7, I feel like we always have something to talk about,\u201d Elena says. \u201cAt the dorm, after practice ends, we go into one room and just talk about our day together. Sometimes those talks last until 4:00 AM. Also, lately we&#8217;ve really been into origami and just fun little crafts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leading up to their debut, the girls have been making and collecting little origami stars that almost map out their journey. \u201cSaki recently bought a bunch of those long paper strips,\u201d Yi Hani recounts, \u201cso we were together sitting in a circle, waiting for calls and stuff, all folding paper stars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just keep making stars,\u201d Yi Hani adds between laughs. \u201cWe plan to do them at every single promotion to record those memories. We love making them, and we have chats and talk, like girl talk, while we do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The group lights up at the prospect of adding messages to each star as promotions go along to keep as snapshots of their feelings, which would only be exposed if they ever decide to unravel them. Crocheting has also been added to the list of crafts to try out in the future, and, who knows, you might even get to spot their creations in a video or two. In fact, their DIY projects are already part of their day-to-day wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll seven of us, we always wanted to have a matching item, like a friendship item,\u201d Seah says. \u201cI personally like making bead accessories, so I made us all a friendship bracelet out of beads with everybody&#8217;s name written on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Polaroid picture showing TUIDE member Jia.\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/TeenVogue-Exclusive_-4.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Name: Jia<br \/>Birthday: August 22, 2008<br \/>Nationality: American, Korean<br \/>Biggest strength, as described by Seoyeon:<br \/>\u201cShe&#8217;s super bright and bubbly on stage, but offstage she&#8217;s so cute and adorable like a puppy.
