Lee Hyori also confessed to studying abroad, "I tried to go to America to learn hip-hop, but Shin Dong-yeop stopped me."

Singer Lee Hyori confessed that she had suffered from 'study abroad sickness' in the past and offered consolation to her junior Chungha.

On KBS 2TV's 'The Seasons - Lee Hyori's Red Carpet' broadcast on the 15th, Chungha appeared and performed on stage while chatting with Lee Hyori.

On this day, Hyori Lee asked about the story behind Chungha's recent transfer to singer Jay Park's agency. In response, Chungha said, "Jay Park bought me a meal and gave me advice as a senior, asking, 'Are you having a hard time?' He also said, 'I think there will be a synergy effect. If you want to do something, I want to help you.' He also urged me instead of urging me. “I wanted to study abroad and learn something, and he persuaded me.” Chungha said, "I wanted to learn English, Spanish, and travel in Dallas, Texas, where I originally lived."

Hyori Lee, who heard this, said, "When you are active, 'study abroad sickness' comes in the middle of your career. When I said that I would go to the United States to learn hip hop, Shin Dong-yeop oppa caught me. He said, 'You need to be active now. You are doing well right now, where are you planning to go?'" He said that, drawing attention.

When asked if she wanted to take a break from her singing career, Chungha said, "Rather than saying I wanted to take a break, I thought they wouldn't find me. I didn't have confidence," and said that she experienced burnout.

Meanwhile, Chungha shed tears as she delivered a heartfelt handwritten letter to Lee Hyori. The letter contained a message of gratitude, saying that thanks to Hyori Lee, she was able to grow her dream of becoming a singer and be able to smile.
