Lee Hyori Receives a Special Cake from Jennie

On January 19th, renowned singer **Lee Hyori** delighted her followers by posting a picture of a uniquely designed cake shaped like a shoe, crafted by none other than **Jennie** from BLACKPINK. The cake, a result of Jennie’s collaboration with a prominent brand, showcases her distinctive style, and Hyori’s post served as a heartfelt thank you for such a thoughtful gift.

A Blossoming Connection

The growing bond between Hyori and Jennie took root earlier this year when Jennie made a guest appearance on KBS 2TV’s **The Seasons – Lee Hyori’s Red Carpet**. During the show, Hyori expressed her excitement, stating, “I’m nervous to introduce her. Many people want to invite her, and I believe she is truly the main character of this era.” Her admiration was palpable as she emphasized her eagerness to meet Jennie in person and witness her charming smile.

Musical Tribute and Heartfelt Gestures

For her performance, Jennie chose to sing “You & Me,” a special single she released in October of the previous year. This song was created as a tribute to her dedicated fans who have supported BLACKPINK throughout their world tour.

After delivering a stellar performance, Jennie surprised Hyori with a beautiful bouquet of roses and a personal handwritten letter. Reading aloud from the letter on stage, Hyori shared Jennie’s warm message: “Hello. Congratulations on the first episode of **The Seasons.** Thank you for inviting me. I couldn’t be happier to meet and get to know you, my eternal idol. Wishing you a happy new year. Always feel free to contact me. I really like you a lot.”

With humor, Hyori responded, “She said all of that but didn’t give me her contact information!”

Jennie’s First Television Appearance in Years

Jennie also reflected on her nerves before making her television comeback, stating, “When I got the invitation, I was anxious because it had been a while since I participated in a show. I came to see Hyori, so thank you for having me,” revealing her deep respect and admiration for her senior in the industry.

The Show’s Exciting Launch

“Lee Hyo-ri’s Red Carpet” serves as a captivating finale to **The Seasons**, a talk show meant to entertain and uplift the public on Sunday nights. This program marks a significant moment for Hyori, as she steps into the role of solo MC for the first time in her 26-year career. The show is set to premiere at 11:20 p.m. on January 5th, promising exciting discussions and musical performances.
