EXID’s Hani Turns Heads with a Bold New Look While Responding to Lee Chan Won’s Fanboy Moment: “My Mom is a Huge Fan”
EXID’s Hani made a stunning appearance on Immortal Songs, and fans can’t stop talking about her bold transformation—and her hilarious exchange with Lee Chan Won!
The March 15 episode of KBS2’s Immortal Songs brought together legendary girl groups Baby V.O.X and EXID.
It was a nostalgic night filled with iconic performances, funny stories, and unexpected fan moments.
For the first time in 14 years, Baby V.O.X reunited in elegant white outfits, delivering a beautiful performance of Missing You. Their vocals and stage presence sent waves of nostalgia through the audience. Composer Kim Hyung Seok, who worked on many of their hits, proudly shared, “I was really lucky. I gave them songs like Get Up, Killer, Missing You, Ya Ya Ya, and Doll.”
Comedian Kim Joon Hyun took a trip down memory lane, recalling Baby V.O.X’s massive popularity, especially among soldiers:
“I was in the military back then, and they were love itself. They were the perfect group.”
Yuk Jung Wan also shared, “Back in my military days, Chakra and Baby V.O.X were the most popular. Idols had a pure image, but Baby V.O.X changed everything with their crop tops and sexy concept. Our entire barracks would shout out our favorite members’ names. They were the ultimate ‘military presidents’ (military favorites).”
EXID also made their long-awaited return as a full group after 10 years! Solji revealed that she was initially invited as a soloist but couldn’t resist bringing her members along:
“When I checked with them, they were all eager to join.”
LE hilariously exposed their struggles during rehearsals:
“At first, it wasn’t easy at all. Our memory has declined a bit, so we had to keep repeating the dance moves. And we kept getting sore.”
Hyelin added, “We’d practice once and then need a five-minute break.”
Then came one of the night’s funniest moments—Lee Chan Won, known for his love of trot music, revealed that EXID was his ultimate favorite group during his military service:
“There were two acts I adored the most—EXID and Kim Yeon Ja.”
He even confessed that he used to cut out EXID’s pictures from the Kookbang Ilbo (a military newspaper) and stick them on his locker!
After saying this, he immediately covered his face in embarrassment, making everyone laugh.
Solji was surprised:
“I’ve been on Immortal Songs 12 times alone, but this is the first time I’ve heard that Chan Won is an EXID fan.”
Yuk Jung Wan playfully teased, “That means your favorite wasn’t her.”
Lee Chan Won quickly tried to recover:
“I liked all of you, but Solji was my top pick.”
Then, Hani unexpectedly jumped in with a witty remark:
“I really appreciate it because my mom is actually a huge fan of yours.”
Lee Chan Won was completely flustered, causing the whole studio to burst into laughter!
Aside from her fun banter, Hani also caught fans’ attention with her bold new look. Many were surprised by her transformation, praising her confidence and unique style.
Meanwhile, Hani was initially set to marry psychiatrist Yang Jae Woong last September.
However, the wedding was postponed after reports surfaced about an incident at the hospital where he works.
Despite the delay, Hani has remained focused on her career, and fans are eagerly waiting for updates on both her personal and professional life.
Flover, what do you think of EXID’s reunion and Hani’s fun exchange with Lee Chan Won? Let us know in the comments!
