In the most recent installment of The Seasons: Red Carpet with Lee Hyori, all four members of ITZY were featured as guests, delivering performances of Lee Hyori’s greatest hits.
Discussing the performance, including Yuna’s iconic “U Go Girl” performance at the 2022 KBS Song Festival, which gained massive attention for the idol’s remarkable stage presence and stunning figure…
…Lee Hyori humorously remarked that the cover was “annoying.”
Lee Hyori promptly clarified her jest, explaining that it was “annoying” in a playful manner because Yuna seamlessly made “U-Go-Girl” entirely her own, despite Yuna’s insistence that it wasn’t hers at all.
- Ryujin: Yuna’s cover of “U Go Girl” went viral.
- Lee Hyori: I know! It was so annoying! “U Go Girl” is mine, but Yuna took it and made it hers!
- Yuna: Oh, but it’s not mine!
- Hyori: No, no. You tote it yours. And your hips? You were something else.
- Lee Hyori: Look, look! You did that! Those low-rise pants, too? You look beautiful!
Upon Yuna expressing gratitude to Lee Hyori for the song, the senior artist playfully teased once more, eliciting laughter from both ITZY and the audience.
- Yuna: I do want to thank you, by the way.
- Lee Hyori: For what? For not being as hot as you?
- Yuna: No, no, no!
Ultimately, Lee Hyori extended her gratitude to Yuna for covering the song, expressing sincere appreciation for fellow junior idols recreating her timeless hits.
