[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jeong-ho] On the show 'Hangout with Yoo?', the formation of the Refund Expedition Team, consisting of the iconic charismatic singers Uhm Jung-hwa, Lee Hyori, Jessi, and Hwasa, has become a hot topic.

In the episode aired on the afternoon of the 22nd on MBC's 'Hangout with Yoo?', producer Jimmy Yoo (Yoo Jae-suk) was seen having one-on-one meetings with the members of the Refund Expedition Team.

During the broadcast, the Refund Expedition Team members had their first meeting. Lee Hyori arrived first and waited, showing a nervousness not seen in Ssukseuri. Uhm Jung-hwa appeared second. She said, "I bet on everything that seemed strong. It's been a while since I wore something like this, and I feel like I can breathe. It feels relieving. Thank you so much," which brought laughter.

Then Hwasa and Jessi appeared, drawing attention. Yoo Jae-suk, who watched their first gathering on video, shared his thoughts: "Hyori seems to have a few spoons of responsibility added to her usual self, Hwasa seems like a friend quietly following her own path, Jung-hwa noona seems to have high expectations and looks very happy. Jessi speaks frankly in a way that might surprise others, but that’s not her intention."

The Refund Expedition Team members called Yoo Jae-suk on-site, asking him to become their producer. Especially Uhm Jung-hwa raised expectations by saying, "This might be our last stage." Afterwards, Yoo Jae-suk transformed into Jimmy Yoo and met the Refund Expedition Team members one by one.

When Jimmy Yoo first met Hwasa, she recommended managers Kwanghee, Yang Se-hyung, and Jo Se-ho, and expressed that the music genre did not matter.

Jimmy Yoo met Jessi second, and Jessi promoted the charm of the Refund Expedition Team by saying, "My face looks strong, but here I am really soft." Jessi also agreed to have Kwanghee as her manager. Her stage name was decided as Geumbi.

The third meeting was with Uhm Jung-hwa. She confessed, "I have never been in a group before, so I am looking forward to group activities." She chose Kelly as her stage name and mentioned Jo Se-ho, Yang Se-hyung, and Kwanghee as manager candidates. Lastly, Lee Hyori, who was met, expressed that she wanted the music style to be radical and insisted on 30 seconds. She mentioned Kwanghee, Jo Se-ho, and Biryong as managers, then humorously requested to bring Won Bin, So Ji-sub, and Song Joong-ki. For her stage name, aiming for overseas expansion, she suggested Mao, which has a Chinese feel.

Additionally, Hwasa, Jessi, and Uhm Jung-hwa emphasized to Jimmy Yoo that they want him to "Don't touch," meaning not to interfere excessively.

Meanwhile, 'Hangout with Yoo?' airs every Saturday at 6:30 PM.
