Chae Jung-an and Lee Ji-hye recalled their first meeting from 26 years ago.
In the tvN variety program 'Sixth Sense: B-Side,' which aired on the 20th, Chae Jung-an and Lee Ji-hye appeared as guests and shared stories with Yoo Jae-suk, Song Eun-i, and others.
On that day, Yoo Jae-suk asked Chae Jung-an and Lee Ji-hye, "Don't you two have a very close relationship?" To this, Song Eun-i added the term "club mates" to describe the two, drawing laughter from the audience.

Lee Ji-hye said, "Karaoke. But we didn't meet at karaoke; we met in the broadcasting station restroom," mentioning her first encounter with Chae Jung-an. She continued, "When you see someone, don't you sense their aura? I felt that if it was this person, we could become a bit closer." She revealed that she felt a sense of familiarity toward Chae Jung-an at the time.
In response, Chae Jung-an added, "That day, she suggested we go straight to karaoke."
When Yoo Jae-suk asked when their first meeting was, Chae Jung-an replied, "It was in 2000." She further explained, "I was a first-generation singer and Ji-hye was a second-generation singer, and we were both at number one."
Hearing this, Lee Ji-hye joked, "At that time, I was slightly above her." Chae Jung-an retorted, "I wanted to get close to the number-one singer, so I acted kindly," turning the scene into a sea of laughter.
