Lee Hyori revealed her unique affection for her juniors on November 9 through the YouTube talkshow 'No Back Tak Jae Hoon.'
Co-host Shin Kyu Jin delved into Lee Hyori's career and choices in an interrogation-style format. As he perused her profile, Shin remarked on Lee Hyori's apparent shift in stance regarding commercial endorsements, noting she has been filming many advertisements despite previous statements she would no longer do advertisements. Lee Hyori responded with a dominating presence, saying, "Whether I do commercial advertisements or not, what does it matter to you guys?"
When Lee Hyori said, "Isn't this already past the statute of limitations? It's been 25 years, do I still have to be investigated?" Tak Jae Hoon firmly replied, "Things don't just pass over easily because times have changed."
Tak Jae Hoon then asked Lee Hyori why she decided to appear on his talk show, Lee Hyori responded by saying, "You only invite nice kids who won't be able to talk back to you. So I came to fix that." She then jokingly added, "I didn't come on the show to promote my new song. I came to see you, Tak Jae Hoon, since it's been so long."
Lee Hyori, who made a comeback recently with a new single 'Hoodie e banbaji,' showed a relaxed attitude, saying, "I passed the phase of getting nervous." She also revealed that she passes the time watching clips of girl groups on Instagram.
Lee Hyori explained, "When I'm stressed, I heal by watching pretty girl groups on Instagram. Nowadays, Jennie, NewJeans, and other girls are all so pretty." Lee Hyori confessed that she sends a lot of DMs to her juniors. She explained, "I send messages like 'I really like your music,' 'When will we collaborate?' I send sincere support messages to the juniors I want to work with."
Tak Jae Hoon asked, "Have you ever sent DMs to Jennie, LE SSERAFIM, SEVENTEEN, IVE, and Sunmi?" Lee Hyori replied, "To the really big ones... I feel like I might get ignored. I was told by the company to go out on a YouTube show with Young ji and Jo Hyun Ah, but I didn't go on them because I might get discouraged."
Lee Hyori is so honest. I really like her.
