“I got in trouble a lot,” the Hallyu star revealed while she was doing a mukbang with her co-hosts Yoon Eun Hye and Hyo Jung, narrating an experience about how her former company’s CEO once scolded her for not pressing the elevator button for him.

“One time the head of the company and I got on the elevator together, but neither of us pressed the button. I don’t know why,” she shares. “I thought to myself…Why wasn’t he pressing the button for the seventh floor, because that should be where he’s going?”

The idol then explained that since she didn’t know what to do, she just pressed the button for the fourth floor because that’s where she was supposed to go. “That’s why I just pressed the button for floor [four], which is where the practice room is. Then he told me, ‘What are you doing?’” Sandara says, imitating the company CEO’s "annoyed" tone.
