Jennie appeared as a guest on “Lee Hyori’s Red Carpet”, adding glamor to the show, culminating in a spontaneous duet with Lee Hyori
KBS2TV’s music program “Lee Hyori’s Red Carpet” premiered on Jan 5th.
On this day, Lee Hyori introduced Jennie with excitement, “Someone who is admired worldwide. Many people have been looking forward to meeting her, and I, too, want to see her lovely smile in person.”
After her performance, Jennie presented a large bouquet to Lee Hyori, saying, “I brought this to congratulate you.” Lee Hyori then revealed the letter written by Jennie, expressing gratitude for the invitation and happiness at meeting her eternal idol. Jennie wrote, “Please feel free to contact me. I really like you a lot.” Lee Hyori jokingly remarked “You only said but didn’t give me your contact information”, to which Jennie shyly replied, “I was planning to give it separately.”
Lee Hyori continued, “I’m thankful. I’ve seen Jennie twice. Once, during my promotional activities for the song ‘Black’, I saw her when I passed by the corridor.” Jennie recalled, “Hyori looked at me standing in the corridor, touched my cheek and left. I was so heartstruck that I couldn’t sleep that night.” Lee Hyori shared, “I remember it so well. It was rude to touch the face of someone whom I didn’t know. Jennie still had a baby face at that time. She looked at me with shining eyes like she wanted me to touch her face. So, my hand went out without me realizing it.”
Creating a lively atmosphere, Lee Hyori mentioned commonalities between them, “I’m sorry, but we talked about our commonalities. I debuted at 20, and Jennie debuted at 21. Jennie has done a lot of the advertisements I used to do.” Jennie humbly responded, “I dreamed of everything in life after seeing you. I’m following the path that you paved for me.”
Lee Hyori then said, “Not long ago, you cutely wore a hat and did a challenge.” The two even performed the challenge together. Lee Hyori suggested, “Let’s do it together again sometime.”
In particular, Jennie prepared Lee Hyori’s song “Miss Korea”, and the two completed an impromptu duet on stage, receiving a warm response.
