Raina appeared on SBS powerFM's 'Kim Chang Ryul's Old School' on December 15, where she talked about who she resembled and which star she wanted to meet.

When asked if she often heard she looked like somebody, she replied, "Because I'm round-faced, in early debut days, [I was told I looked liked] Shinji. When I take pictures, I hear once in a while that I look like IU. More than anything, I hear I look like a raccoon," making everyone laugh.

When asked which star she wanted to meet at least once, she replied, "Everybody's boyfriend, Kang Dong Won. I just want to see him once. I'm curious about how he looks in real life. I watched 'The Priests' recently and his visuals were so amazing that just looking at him caused the two hours to slip by."

Do you see her resemblance to Shinji or IU?

When one listener asked the DJ if he was close with IU, he replied, "I really want to be close to IU, but it's not easy. I don't want to interrupt IU's busy schedule by giving her a call. I don't want to give that pressure to a dongsaeng".

We hope these two become close after this!
