In the 6th episode of the E Channel/Channel S entertainment show 'Playing Unnie', which aired on the 2nd, 'partners' Trudy, Giant Pink, Miryo, musical actress Jang Eun-ah, and After School's Raina, who have a special relationship with the five members, appeared and held a 'New Year's' party. The scene of doing so unfolded.
On this day, the sisters climbed to an observatory in Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do and opened with New Year's greetings. They revealed their New Year’s wishes, including “Longevity of ‘Playing Sister’.” In particular, everyone from Lee Ji-hye to Choa united in one heart to wish 'eldest sister' Chae Rina a successful pregnancy, giving a heart-warming message.
In a friendly atmosphere, New Year's fortunes were also told. At this time, Ivy was asked about the possibility of a season 2 of ‘Playing Sister’, and the answer was, “Don’t lose your original intention.” Lee Ji-hye interpreted this as saying, “You can do Season 2 as long as you don’t lose your original intention,” and added, “Just me and Chae Ri-na, you just have to be careful,” making everyone laugh. Chae Ri-na's wish to continue working with the production team of 'Playing Sister' was answered with "Of course", raising hopes for Season 2. In the meantime, Lee Ji-hye expressed her selfishness by asking about the possibility of resuming her acting career, but on the page she opened carefully, an 'iron reply' saying, "Don't ask for more" appeared, which made the sisters crawl.
After a while, the partners who came to visit the ‘playing sister’ waited for them, hiding their identities behind a screen. They gave hints about their partner by modifying their voices, and the first batter, Jang Eun-ah, immediately reminded me of Ivy by saying, “My friend is stone + I.” Trudy confessed about her partner, “I couldn’t even make eye contact at first,” and Choa looked at Chae Rina as if it was natural. In response, Chae Rina asked, “Was I very scared?”, but Choa broke out in sweat and spoke gibberish, making the sisters burst into laughter. Giant Pink referred to their partner Lee Ji-hye as ‘Rich Sister’ and said, “I appeared on this sister’s YouTube channel for about 10 minutes and received 2 million won.” In response, everyone knelt down and begged Lee Ji-hye to “let her appear,” devastating the scene.
Meanwhile, Raina, who appeared as Choa's partner, honestly said, "It's been 7 years since I met Choa. I don't have any (celebrity) friends, so I thought it would be fun to appear." After the awkward reunion with Choa, they showed off their chemistry as if they had met yesterday. Miryo revealed that she had an IQ of 148 and was in a gifted class, and appeared with an elegant image that was different from when she was active in Brown Eyed Girls. However, during the free-talking in English to verify the 'study abroad in Canada', he showed 'sudden tension' by shouting "Nice to meet you" and then hugging Jang-ah, which caught everyone off guard.
Afterwards, a 'No Filter Pair Quiz' was held to learn more about each other. Here, Lee Ji-hye expressed her fandom by saying, “Orange Caramel’s unique concept became the motif of ‘Rocket Power’,” but Raina said, “While I was working on After School activities and preparing for the unit Orange Caramel, I realized that the two groups’ concepts were completely different. “I felt a split in my ego,” he confessed. In the end, due to extreme stress, Raina escaped from the dorm with member Nana. However, Raina confessed the consequences of her deviation that ended in one day, saying, “After eating ramen at Nana’s house and falling asleep, I was taken to the manager the very next morning.”
Meanwhile, Trudy, who is active in a soccer entertainment show with Chae Rina, drew attention by saying, “Before the game, I do mental training by imagining Chae Rina swearing at me.” Trudy then revealed her special affection for Chae-rina by explaining, “Because I like Chae-rina so much, I’m afraid I might get hurt by her angry words while playing soccer.”
Miryo claimed, “I was ahead of the no-bra trend,” and “I have been walking around freely without wearing underwear since the early 2000s.” Lee Ji-hye strongly protested, saying, “If you think about it that way, I have been ahead since 1996.” Next, Giant Pink self-revealed her past, saying, “When I was in school, I was over 80 kg in weight and was recommended to be a shot put player,” and Jang Eun-ah showed off her ‘too much talker’ side, saying, “I can chat all night,” and was booked by Ji-hye Lee to appear on YouTube. received.
After a pleasant talk, the 10 sisters entered into a team rap battle reminiscent of '2024 Unpretty Rapstar'. Ivy, who was the first to step forward, took the lead with her vocals and received the broadcast amount instead of the amount of lyrics. Ivy's 'partner' Jang Eun-ah ranked first, leaving a strong impression with 'Singing Rap' that utilized the strengths of a musical actress. Miryo and Narsha, who are on the same team and made each other laugh by dissing each other, took second place, and with Giant Pink's flashy rapping and Ji-Hye Lee's passionate performance that made people question their 'personal contact', they took third place.
Following this, Trudy took fourth place by ‘hard carrying’ Chae Rina with her unrivaled rap skills. In particular, when asked about her plastic surgery in her self-made rap with the message, “Even if your face changes, your pretty heart doesn’t change,” Trudy said, “I’ve completely changed, the doctor is my dad.” “I was born again,” he said honestly.
Choa and Raina ranked 5th, with critics saying that the delivery of the lyrics was disappointing compared to the sensuous beat. Additionally, depending on the ranking of this competition, an opportunity was given to win a gift through a 'drawing machine'. Jang Ah and Ivy, who came in first place, drew a doll and a hot pack, while Miryo and Narsha, who came in second place, won a department store gift certificate and became the true winners. When Lee Ji-hye said, “Gapjinnyeon, the Year of the Blue Dragon, Narsha won a gift certificate,” Narsha, who was shocked, responded, “I thought Gapjinnyeon was talking about me,” making everyone laugh with her absurdity.
