Lee Hyori gives up front advice to HyunA, who is now a female solo artist promoting in her thirties

On the August 3 broadcast of tvN's 'Dancing Queens on the Road', HyunA came and cheered on her fellow female solo artists, visiting the waiting room before the show. 

While waiting for their performance on this day, Uhm Jung Hwa brightened up as she announced, "Everyone, HyunA is here~". Lee Hyori then greeted HyunA coolly by asking, "Why does your face look like a baby's face today?". HyunA sheepishly remarked, "I look like this when I don't have makeup on." 

Uhm Jung Hwa then went on to refer to HyunA as her "baby", to which Lee Hyori said, "Why are you calling her a baby when she's that old? How old are you now?" HyunA answered, "I'm 32-years old now." Lee Hyori was surprised to hear this, and commented, "You're only 32-years old even though you've been promoting for 17-years."

Here, HyunA shared about a dilemma she has been facing as an artist with her level of experience. She said, "When I go to the broadcasting station these days, everyone is half my age. There's no one who treats me comfortably," expressing her wish to have more people to talk to and interact with. 

To this, Lee Hyori hilariously responded, "But you never treated us unnies comfortably at the broadcasting station either. You acted stiffly when we were around. It would have been so nice if you could have been more friendly, but that is difficult for the younger person. Now you know what it feels like, right? You should experience it for yourself. All alone in the waiting room!" 

Uhm Jung Hwa also noted, "Hyori also approached me more comfortably around when she was 30." 

Of course, Lee Hyori had heartfelt advice to offer HyunA as well, as she observed, "I was 30-years old during 'U-Go-Girl'. That was the height of my popularity. You can do it too." HyunA nodded and replied, "I am doing my best to prepare a good stage."

pretty iconic moment for such legendary female artists known for their provocative releases from the 90s, 00s, and 10s to be together in 1 room.

Lee Hyori comes across as a complete bitch in this article, I'm sure the tone was much nicer in the video.
