On this day, Lee, who returned with her new single "HOODIE E BANBAJI" in October, talked about various topics including her career as a member of the girl group Fin. K.L., her return to the CF scene, and more.
In the broadcast, Hyori also mentioned her junior idols, who confessed to be giving her a lot of healing these days.
Tak Jae Hoon asked:
"When you're stressed, you said you get healed by watching pretty girl groups on social network services, right?"
The star then replied:
"Girls are more healing than boys (groups) these days. (The prettiest are) BLACKPINK Jennie is pretty, and I also get a lot of healing whenever I watch NewJeans."

Lee Hyori Reveals She Sends DM to Juniors — But Not to Jennie, IVE, Sunmi & LE SSERAFIM
As the broadcast continued, Tak Jae Hoon then confirmed that Hyori was the type to send DMs to junior idols first.
Although it was commonly the other way around, the star showed her humility by stating that there was nothing wrong with it. But rather than flashy words, she keeps her messages professional and simple, like:
"Hello. I like your music. Would you like to work with me sometime?"
In her defense, she sends such messages to support and encourage her juniors, as well as to sincerely express her desire to collaborate with them in music. However, Lee Hyori hilariously revealed that she made an exemption on sending DMs to some juniors.
When asked if she had ever sent DMs to the current hottest stars like BLACKPINK Jennie, LE SSERAFIM, SEVENTEEN, IVE and Sunmi, Lee Hyori honestly responded:
"For those who are top-tier juniors, it's a little bit difficult to reach out to them... I feel like they won't be able to see my DM and I'll feel like being ignored a bit."
Hyori made Tak and the viewers laugh due to her humble side, viewing herself as someone who's like a local singer who's not popular globally.

In fact, she revealed that she was also recommended to go on popular web shows like Lee Young Ji's "My Alcohol Diary" or "Jo Hyunah's Thursday Night," but she was skeptical about going there as she had this feeling of "shrinking" if she will appear there as a guest.
