[Asia News Communication = Reporter Reakkana] On the January 9 episode of MBC’s “How Do You Play?”, Yoo Jae Suk and Lee Hyori caught up via phone call. When Yoo Jae Suk first called, Lee Sang Soon picked up the phone and shared what the weather was like at their home on Jeju Island. He said, “A lot of snow fell and now we’re marooned. A lot of snow fell here. Of course, our house is pretty isolated anyway.”
Yoo Jae Suk also asked Lee Hyori about her “blanket dress,” which garnered attention on social media. Although Refund Sisters was supposed to perform at the 2020 MBC Entertainment Awards, Lee Hyori could not attend due to the COVID-19 surge making it difficult for her to fly up to Seoul from Jeju Island. However, she accepted her award for Top Excellence in Music & Talk via a video message.
Lee Hyori explained, “The trophy was delivered to me in a package about two days before the ceremony. It felt wrong to accept an award in sweatpants, [so I came up with the blanket dress]. It wasn’t bad, right? Lee Sang Soon filmed the video for me.” Yoo Jae Suk said admiringly, “You’re a variety show genius.”
