Refund Expedition's Lee Hyori, Uhm Jung-hwa, and Hwasa reunited after 5 years, with only Jessi missing, leaving a sense of regret.
Uhm Jung-hwa posted on the 21st, "It's been a while, Hyori and Hwasa!!!" alongside several photos and videos, saying, "At the happy wedding of Jong-min~~ it's been a while since we last met."
The released photos and videos capture Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Hyori, Uhm Jung-hwa, and Hwasa enjoying a fun time taking photos together at Kim Jong-min's wedding. The four posed with a cute V sign toward the camera, with Yoo Jae-suk and Lee Hyori showcasing a pose with their V signs touching.
Additionally, Lee Hyori, Uhm Jung-hwa, and Hwasa confidently walked like a runway at the hotel where the wedding was held, demonstrating their model poses, and Uhm Jung-hwa drew attention by adding Lee Hyori's hit song "10 Minutes" as the background music.
The decisive reason they attended Kim Jong-min's wedding is due to the MBC variety show "How Do You Play?" broadcast in 2020. As they formed the project four-member group Refund Expedition, Yoo Jae-suk took on the role of producer Jimmy Yoo, Uhm Jung-hwa played Man-ok, Lee Hyori portrayed Cheon-ok, and Hwasa took on the role of Silvi. The title track "DON'T TOUCH ME" topped the music chart and gained great love by appearing on music broadcasts. However, there was regret as only the singer Jessi, who played the role of Eun-bi, was missing from this wedding.
Previously, Jessi became embroiled in controversy last year over allegations of 'bystanding during fan assault.' It was somewhat unfairly alleged that after a fan who was refused a photo request during a gathering was assaulted by someone, Jessi left the scene.
In response, Jessi said, "I sincerely apologize for causing concern to many people due to reports regarding the assault incident related to me," and she bowed her head in apology. Through her personal social media, she also confessed, "The difficulties I faced taught me that no one knows my heart and struggles better than I do. Your faith in me throughout all of this has been my greatest strength, and I hope that you too will pursue your dreams without fear and not give up on your goals."
Having sincerely apologized, Jessi also brought good news to her fans in February this year as she made her return to her main profession.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-min of Koyote held a private wedding on the afternoon of the 20th at the Shilla Hotel's Yeongbin-gwan in Jung-gu, Seoul, with his fiancée 'Hiyung' (stage name), who is 11 years his junior, after two years of dating. The wedding proceeded in two parts, with Yoo Jae-suk as the host for the first part and KBS2 variety show "1 Night 2 Days" colleagues Moon Se-yoon and Cho Sae-ho for the second part. The celebration was performed by Lee Jeok and Lyn. Attendees included top star Lee Hyori, Koyote members, Uhm Jung-hwa, Hwasa, members of "1 Night 2 Days", H.O.T's Tony An, Sechs Kies' Eun Ji-won and Jang Su-won, Shinhwa's Lee Min-woo, and Click-B's Kim Sang-hyuk, among first-generation idol groups.
