[Asia Economy Online Issue Team] Singer Lee Hyori made a mischievous joke that embarrassed Hwasa.

In the fourth episode of the TVING original variety show 'Seoul Check-in,' released on the 29th, Lee Hyori, Uhm Jung-hwa, BoA, and Hwasa were shown drinking and chatting at Kim Wan-sun's house while preparing for the 'Dance Singer Wanderers' project.

That day, when Uhm Jung-hwa said she had no special schedule from March, Lee Hyori invited her, saying, "Then bring Super (Uhm Jung-hwa's pet dog) and come to Jeju Island."

Hwasa then asked Uhm Jung-hwa, "If you go to Jeju Island, please invite me too," and Uhm Jung-hwa expressed disappointment, saying, "Really? You're busy and don't even answer calls well."

Hearing this, Lee Hyori joked, "Hwasa is the type who carries luxury bags and goes to Paris. She's global and looks down on us. Her senior is Beyonc?, not us," which made Hwasa even more embarrassed as she waved her hand, saying, "No."

As Hwasa-related remarks became a hot topic, Uhm Jung-hwa posted a clarification on her Instagram. On the 1st, Uhm Jung-hwa wrote, "I was so glad and happy to see Hwasa after a long time. I guess when I said 'she doesn't answer calls' about always busy Hwasa, it came out wrong. I meant I wanted to contact her," and shared a photo taken with Hwasa.
