Hyeri suggested ‘retirement’ to Rijeong.
In the 3rd episode of ENA's 'Hyemiri Yechaepa', which aired on the 26th, the reunion of the six members Hyeri (Lee Hyeri), (G)I-DLE's Miyeon, Rijeong, Choi Yena, Le Seraphim's Kim Chae-won, and Patricia was depicted.
A group request was made on the broadcast that day. The first group quest was 'Survival Four Cuts', which was a mission where the facial features of six people had to be captured on camera within a limited time. When the first round was so easily successful, the excited members immediately shouted ‘Go’. Hyeri brought excitement to the scene with her unique pose, and Patricia with a calm expression that seemed to have been there from the beginning. The members shouted 'Stop' only after successfully reaching the third round, and achieved the feat of winning a whopping 4,000 cash.
The members ran to the kiosk and ordered the most necessary table and chairs first. Then, I spent a total of 3,000 cash by purchasing pasta ingredients, ice cream, and balls for the lunch menu. Miyeon was satisfied with the rich life she was enjoying for the first time, saying, “I think it’s a real healing program.” Afterwards, the members decided to take on various challenges popular on social media. However, Hyeri, who was the eldest sister for the first time, seemed to have a bit of trouble keeping up with her younger siblings. Accordingly, the first episode of 'Hyemi-ri Human Theater', which followed Hye-ri's gaze through an interlude corner, was released, causing laughter.
The first Madness Personal Quest was also an essential fun point. Hyeri, who was the first contestant, chose the 'Stand Up Water Bottle' category and excitedly took on the challenge, but narrowly failed. Then, Choi Yena and Kim Chae-won left the house together, and Hyeri shouted, "Don't come home until you succeed," making them laugh. Kim Chae-won, who chose '97 points karaoke' as the challenge item, showed off the charm of a vocal fairy by euphemizing Le Seraphim's 'ANTIFRAGILE', but unfortunately received 96 points. On this day, the members expressed their deepest expectations of becoming heroes, but none of them achieved their goal.
Afterwards, something shocking happened to the members who were enjoying sweet snack time. In fact, the snacks and jellies they ate were snacks they brought personally rather than purchased directly from the kiosk, and a total of 500 cash was deducted for this. In this happening, the members hung up the dinner dishes and played gonggi before the group quest. Hye-ri, Mi-yeon, and Patricia emerged as the three leaders of the air force and a thrilling rivalry ensued, while Mi-yeon showed off her competitive spirit and mischievous temperament at the same time, making the members laugh.
The highlight was the choreography challenge quest. When the production team laid the groundwork by saying, "This is your area of expertise. If you get this wrong..." Rijeong took the bait, saying, "Do I have to retire?" Expectations placed on dancer Li Jeong were high, as she was able to guess the song name and singer just by listening to the dance description. Hyeri, who came out first, received the keyword 'rabbit'. After hearing the explanation, Miyeon realized that the answer was Oh My Girl's 'Dun Dun Dance', but Hyeri said the wrong answer was TWICE's 'FANCY'.
Kim Chae-won confidently stepped forward to the keyword 'naughty', but was frustrated because she was the only one who did not know the answer. Afterwards, Kim Chae-won realized that (G)I-DLE's 'TOMBOY' was the correct answer and apologized to Mi-yeon, making her burst into laughter. In the end, everyone except Li Jeong failed in the first round, and the last runner, Li Jeong, even took off her socks and fought barefoot. The members guessed New Jeans' 'OMG' in response to the suggested word 'Oh my head'. Li Jeong repeatedly shouted 'Wait a minute' as if she couldn't think of an answer, and Hyeri encouraged the production team by saying, "Li Jeong's career is at stake."
When Ri Jeong couldn't answer, the production crew said, "Congratulations on your retirement," making the scene burst into laughter. The revealed answer was also a twist. Blackpink's 'Lovesick Girls' was the answer, and the creepy description and choreography were a perfect fit. Above all, it is an issue that Li Jeong, the choreographer in charge of Blackpink, should not have missed. Hyeri added, “Ri Jeong, you really need to retire.” In response, Li Jeong knelt down and said, “I guess I’m really crazy,” causing another burst of laughter.
