Actress Jeon Won-ju expressed concern as she complained of declining memory.

On the 23rd, MBN's "Unforgettable Duet 2" released a teaser for the first episode ahead of its premiere on the 31st.

The released video featured Jeon Won-ju appearing alongside her close friend of 55 years, actress Kim Hyeong-ja.

On that day, while recalling past memories, Jeon Won-ju confessed, "I can't remember well." In response, Kim Hyeong-ja asked, "You don't remember?" and Jeon Won-ju shook her head, saying, "I really can't remember."

Kim Hyeong-ja added, "It seems only I know. It looks like you have forgotten," deepening the sense of sadness. Following this, Jeon Won-ju expressed her wish to "cherish these precious memories for a long time," evoking an emotional response.

Notably, Jeon Won-ju had previously confessed in April that she was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment after appearing on TV Chosun's "Perfect Life."

At the time, following tests including the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and a brain CT scan, Jeon Won-ju received a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, which is known as the pre-dementia stage. Mild cognitive impairment is a state where cognitive function has declined, posing a risk of progressing to dementia, thus requiring continuous management.

Subsequently, on the 6th, in an episode of MBC's "PD Notebook," Jeon Won-ju demonstrated confidence in her health by telling the production team, who asked about her condition, that she had "never caught a cold." She also expressed her determination for longevity, stating, "I expect to live until I am 100 years old."

In this context, Jeon Won-ju is challenging herself to her first duet stage with Kim Hyeong-ja. The two dressed up brightly and took the stage, smiling at each other.

When Kim Hyeong-ja asked, "Shall we start our song?" Jeon Won-ju replied, "Yes, yes," showing an excited demeanor.

Meanwhile, "Unforgettable Duet 2" is a music variety program in which participants who are losing their memories sing life songs with precious people, premiering at 9:20 p.m. on the 31st.
