Lee Ji-hye, a broadcaster who was a member of the mixed-gender group Shop, spoke about her current relationship with former member Seo Ji-young, with whom she had previously experienced conflict.

On the 9th, a video titled "Even if I'm called attention-seeking, I am loved as I am" was released on the YouTube channel 'Saerunge Hwasoseo'.

On that day, when asked about her relationship with Shop member Seo Ji-young, Lee said, "Many people ask me, 'Is it true?' regarding our reconciliation."

In response, Joo Young-hoon stated, "To be honest, when things were bad between Ji-hye and me, Ji-young would often come to me in the early morning hours and vent her frustrations for an hour at a time," adding, "She cried and poured out her heart a lot, so I have a general idea. That friend has now built a happy family."

Lee debuted in 1998 with the mixed-gender group Shop and was loved for numerous hit songs such as "Like Warm Coffee on My Lips," "Tell Me Tell Me," and "Sweety." However, conflict arose between Lee and Seo during the group's activities, and Shop ultimately disbanded in October 2002. At the time, it was revealed that Lee had been bullied within the group, causing a significant uproar. The two reconciled through a broadcast program in 2008, six years after the disbandment.

Recalling their reconciliation, Lee stated, "At a church retreat, Ji-young and I embraced each other on the spot and cried."

She continued, "I didn't ask, 'Why did you do that?' or 'Why did you curse at me like that?' If we had talked about it that way, all the fights would not have ended. It felt as if everything melted away while crying. We came to understand each other very well and reached an understanding without any lingering resentment."

Currently, the two have become close enough to interact with each other's families. Lee shared, "Ji-young recently came to our house, did the dishes before leaving," adding, "Ji-young's daughter is also very kind and has grown up well. She gets along well with my daughters Taeri and Eli. Ji-young's daughter asked me to sing 'Sweety.' I sang it while dancing in front of the girls."
