Hyeri revealed how she cast Yoona to appear on her show.

“I was on the same flight returning home from a business trip in Paris. I didn’t know I was on the same flight until I got off, where I saw someone that looked like a celebrity. She was wearing a hat and a mask, so I wondered who it was, and it turned out it was Yoona.

I asked her what she was doing these days and asked her to come on my show. I remember her saying, ‘I’m resting and not doing anything, though. Ok, sure!’”

On the show, Yoona revealed she was busy preparing something for the new year as she took a break for about a year.

Although I did fan meetings and filmed commercials in between, it was the first time I’ve taken a break this long. I felt it was time to return to work as I took a break for about a year.

She also shared that she finally had the chance to travel alone and admitted there were still so many things she didn’t know.

I even took the airport limousine bus. No one cared who I was, so I felt like I was just being conscious about it. I thought, ‘Did I hold myself back too much?’ This experience gave me a different perspective.

Meanwhile, Yoona stepped down from her MC position for the MBC Gayo Daejejeon after ten years.
