[Exclusive] Pentagon Hui and ITZY meet Lee Hyori… ‘Red Carpet’ appearance
Pentagon's Hui, who went solo, and group ITZY meet senior Lee Hyori.

According to coverage on the 23rd, Hui and ITZY attended the recording of KBS 2TV's late-night music talk show 'The Seasons - Lee Hyori's Red Carpet' (hereinafter 'Red Carpet') held this afternoon. Expectations are high on what kind of stage and story will be shared when Lee Hyori, Hui, and ITZY, all seniors in the music industry, meet.

Hui is actively promoting after releasing his first solo mini album 'WHU IS ME: Complex' on the 16th, 8 years after his Pentagon debut.

The meeting between ITZY and Hyori Lee is meaningful. ITZY's Yuna attracted attention by performing Lee Hyo-ri's 'U-Go-Girl' on the stage of an awards ceremony in the past. When Yuna appeared on MBC FM4U's 'Noon Hope Song This is Kim Shin-young' on the 10th, she expressed her desire to appear on the 'red carpet' and said, "If you invite me, I would be so grateful and I would like to go. I respect you so much that I will be so nervous." He replied, "I think I'll do 'Girl' and prepare a new song as well." Other members also expressed their expectations about appearing, saying, “I think it will be a real honor.” ITZY released their new mini album 'BORN TO BE' on the 8th.

In addition to Pentagon and ITZY, singer Defconn was also confirmed to appear.

Meanwhile, 'Red Carpet' is a music program in which Lee Hyori served as a solo MC for the first time in 26 years since her debut. From the recording of the first episode, brilliant guests such as Blackpink's Jennie, comedian Shin Dong-yup, actor Lee Jeong-eun, and AKMU's Lee Chan-hyuk appeared. In addition, artists of various genres, including group Rise, singer Younha, and Kim Feel, appeared and communicated with Lee Hyori and performed on stage.
