On June 28, a new episode of the online entertainment program DdeunDdeun was released, with the guest appearances of singer Lee Hyori and comedian Yang Se Chan.
In the episode, Lee Hyori shared about her recent efforts to connect with her fellow artists: "I met the people I wanted to meet. I contacted them via text message on social media accounts, because I did not have their phone numbers."
She revealed that one of those artists was G-Dragon: "I texted G-Dragon and asked us to meet, but it didn't happen yet. I'm planning to try again.
He read my text messages and even responded. He said he wanted us to do something together for this album. We have never worked on a project before."
Lee Hyori added that she recently watched G-Dragon appear on the variety show You Quiz on the Block.
"I saw him on You Quiz and felt we had a lot in common. I can think of the life experience of a top star, the singer said.
Lee Hyori continues to reflect on G-Dragon's shares about inner struggles: "He says he has done everything, earned money and gained fame, but still feels an emptiness within.
I feel the same way. I have a great husband, but that feeling of emptiness seems to have no obvious reason.
She added, "I want to get music advice and try my best with this album."
MC Yoo Jae Suk expressed his admiration for Lee Hyori: You did all those things without being close to him. It was really impressive. This is not something that can be easily done.
In fact, although Lee Hyori and G-Dragon are not too close, the singer and the Big Bang group have had performance collaborations in the past.
The most impressive was the joint performance of the sexy queen and the Big Bang group at the 2008 MAMA awards ceremony. Each member of Big Bang took turns interacting sweetly with their seniors on stage. The most explosive of which was the kiss between T.O.P and Lee Hyori.
Up to now, although Big Bang has gone through many ups and downs with the departure of the two members, G-Dragon has made a strong comeback and affirmed his position as a leading Kpop artist.
After many years of marriage and living in seclusion, Lee Hyori has gradually returned and become active again.
