Juniel reveals she is also in love with ‘Reply 1997′

Singer Juniel recently revealed she is an avid fan of the drama ‘Reply 1997′ as well.

During her appearance on ‘Boom’s Young Street‘ Juniel stated, “I’m really into ‘Reply 1997′ these days even though I was 4 years old in 1997.”

She also sang her own recreated version of Yangpa‘s ”Young Love“, which was played during a scene in ‘Reply 1997′. Although Juniel was only four when the song ”Young Love” first came out, she was able to sing with the same emotions as Yangpa did back in 1997.

Juniel had also brought her first guitar ‘Bba-ni-ni’ to the radio show that day, revealing ‘Bba-ni-ni’ was the sister of AOA member Jimin‘s guitar, ‘Banana’.
