Kim Yeon-ja shares the behind-the-scenes story of the reverse run of 'Amor Party' and thanks Park Myung-soo. She states, 'At the time, I appeared on 'Infinite Challenge' singing 'Amor Party' and several songs, which led to my high-pitched vocal technique becoming known. Park Myung-soo was the first to point out that my singing style is like that. After that, terms like 'mozzarella singing style' and 'Bluetooth singing style' came about. He is a great benefactor who helped me gain popularity,' expressing her deep gratitude. She continues, 'I personally prepared a high-end gift for him,' sharing a heartwarming anecdote.
She also shares the behind-the-scenes story of the duet stage prepared with junior singer Young-tak.

Kim Yeon-ja also announced that she has been appointed as the voice phishing prevention ambassador for the Daejeon Korean National Police Agency. She shares, 'Recently, there have been cases of people being defrauded while impersonating staff from our company. Because of this incident, I remixed 'Amor Party' to create a voice phishing warning song. I hope many people can easily sing along and raise their awareness,' conveying a social message along with her announcement.
Her passion for fashion and the stage also catches attention. Kim Yeon-ja reveals, 'All my stage costumes are custom-made.' She mentions, 'I have made over hundreds of outfits, and since each piece costs several million won each, the total costume expenditure exceeds 1 billion won,' surprising everyone.
