The Secretive Past of Lee Jung-hyun: Unveiling the Mystique on '20th Century Hit Song'

Lee Jung-hyun's past shrouded in mystery is set to be unveiled, revealing how her secretive image prevented her from interacting with male celebrities.

The 298th episode of KBS Joy's '20th Century Hit Song', airing on the 30th at 8:30 PM, will delve into the theme 'Shh! Curious? Mysterious Singer Hit Song'.

The episode will feature Lee Jung-hyun's 'You', a song that combines Eastern melodies with techno rhythms. The track, with its Egyptian goddess concept, garnered significant attention, leaving a strong impression with its completely new look and performance for each song.

Particularly, the episode will reveal the strict management of her mysterious image during the 'Wa' promotions. It is said that male celebrities visiting her waiting room were blocked by her manager, and even those coming to greet her by car were met with caution. Shockingly, it was revealed that there were even stakeouts in front of her house to prevent dating.

As the song plays, the studio bursts into laughter. Mi-joo, immersed in the music, shakes her head and dances, causing her wig to fly, prompting laughter. Kim Hee-chul attempts to recreate the signature dance move of 'You' by lifting Mi-joo, but quickly fails, showing signs of embarrassment.

Later, Lee Dong-geun joins in the attempt, but they fail again, adding to the humor. Mi-joo, feeling wronged, asks, “Wait, can another director lift me just once?” to which Kim Hee-chul responds, “Come on in quickly,” filling the scene with laughter once more.

The hit songs born from a veil of mystery and strict management, along with their behind-the-scenes stories, can be discovered in this episode of '20th Century Hit Song'.
