Singer Choi Ye-na (YENA) appeared on the May 30 broadcast of JTBC's "Knowing Bros" in the "Icon of Positivity" special, bringing laughter to viewers.

On the broadcast, Choi Ye-na, who introduced herself as the "Challenge Fairy" who transferred in from "Living Positively," shared her recent activities after Kim Shin-young mentioned the secondhand trading app nickname "Nonhyeon-dong Water Fist." She said, "I appeared on a variety show and it was revealed, so I became the number one search term the next day. So I changed it." She also revealed nicknames such as "Yeon-jjok (Ye-na + Geum-jjok)" through her application form.

Choi Ye-na stated that her debut song is "SMILEY," emphasizing, "I have a 'Rather Good' mindset. People even say it's hip if I spit out food while eating." She also added Christina's speaking style to "Catch Catch," presenting a new challenge: "Catch Catch, huh."

When Kang Ho-dong mentioned the similarity to "I Kicked the Fortune Away," Choi Ye-na clarified, "From the moment I heard this song, I thought I had to step to it, and unconsciously, I didn't even think of Kang Ho-dong." Afterwards, she lifted the atmosphere with a medley of "SMILEY," "Nemo Nemo," and "Catch Catch."

Choi Ye-na cited her contract renewal as a sign of her change, saying, "Since I renewed my contract this year, including my trainee period, I have been with my agency for about 10 years. Due to my personality and tendencies, I prefer familiar things over new environments. Although I received love calls, these people are so good, and if there's no discomfort, I thought it would be better to stay together." She then added, "The reason I have no choice but to succeed is my family."

In the viral segment "Guess My Lie," she deceived the members with the lie, "After seeing a ghost, I usually wash my hair at a shop." At the end of the broadcast, she said, "It was so happy to appear after a long time, and I hope everyone celebrates Andell's debut and promotes it a lot."

Meanwhile, Choi Ye-na continues her activities with the title track "Catch Catch" from her fifth mini-album "LOVE CATCHER" on global short-form platforms and domestic music charts. After recently completing performances of "Seems Catchable, Not Catchable, 2 Worlds!" in Seoul, Macau, Taipei, and Hong Kong, Choi Ye-na is preparing for her Tokyo concerts on June 13 and 14.
