The reason Lee Hyori has been loved for 25 years
On the 12th, the YouTube channel 'A-Class Jang Young-ran' posted a video titled 'Past negotiation kings' battle of wits Hong Hyun-hee
Hong Hyun-hee, who appeared as a guest on this day, was asked about a celebrity she is close to and answered, “Hyori unni, Hyori unni. “I will be the first to tell the story of how I became close with my sister,” he said. “Once upon a time, there was a program on SBS called ‘Thank You.’ “The PD contacted me to recruit a comedian who could liven up the atmosphere of the scene and also act as a pre-MC,” he said.
Hong Hyun-hee said, “Some comedians refused, asking, ‘How much is the fee?’, but I said that it wasn’t about money and that I would do it because I like Hyori so much. And after finishing recording, Hyori said, ‘Oh, okay, thank you. “Thank you for coming all the way here,” he said, and I did a parody of a bad girl on “Looking for Laughs” that year.”
Hong Hyun-hee continued, "Afterwards, the 'Entertainment Awards' side said they were inviting Lee Hyo-ri as a surprise guest. I asked, 'Would you like to come?' and Lee Hyo-ri said, 'If you're Hong Hyun-hee, who was the MC for free back then, I should help you once.' By chance, Kang Ho-dong's brother was there at that time. “I was invited to take a back seat for 250,000 won for ‘Star King’,” Lee Hyori said, adding, “The recording days overlapped. The rehearsal was supposed to be in the evening, but because of me, Hyori Lee came even though it was done in the early morning.”
Hong Hyeon-hee said, “Then I lived a busy life. Then my sister watched my life. And now, when I was doing ‘Seoul Check-in,’ I came with Sang-sun oppa.”
