Yuna’s honest remarks about ITZY’s 2024 song “Imaginary Friend” have sparked an emotional wave among fans, especially after the idol expressed her personal love for the track—and her disappointment at its lack of recognition. The conversation came during a recent video on her YouTube series, Dazzling YUNA, where she reflected on her career through a playful “World Cup” of her most memorable looks.

A Look Back Brings Forward Emotions

While browsing through her various styles, Yuna came across a look from one of the final stages of “Imaginary Friend.” The moment triggered a heartfelt comment from her:

“Please watch the ‘Imaginary Friend’ performance at least once. I really love that song.”

However, she followed this with a candid admission that broke many fans’ hearts.

“I wish Imaginary Friend could have been a better success. I thought it would have been nice if it was more loved.”

Her words resonated deeply with fans, many of whom took to Reddit and other platforms to express their own sadness about how such a powerful track went unnoticed by the broader public.

Fans React With Heartbreak

After a screenshot of Yuna’s comment circulated online, netizens responded with shared disappointment. One fan commented:

“It’s heartbreaking because Imaginary Friend was mesmerizing. It deserved more.”

Others pointed out how K-pop, while still music-driven, now often prioritizes image and perception. Some suggested that ITZY faces harsher judgment no matter the quality of their work, which may have affected how the song was received.
