Group Shop Lee Ji-hye and Seo Ji-young reunited after 15 years of disbandment.

On the 17th, Lee Ji-hye posted a photo on her Instagram with the caption, “I met Ji-young. It was so nice to see you after such a long time. How many years has it been? Are you curious about what we talked about? Thank you Ji-young for being a subscriber to the not-so-hateable Kwan-jong-unnie and appearing on the show”.

The revealed photo shows Lee Ji-hye taking a selfie with Seo Ji-young in an affectionate pose. The two of them showed off their youthful beauty that was hard to believe for someone in their 40s, drawing admiration from onlookers.


In particular, Lee Ji-hye complimented Seo Ji-young’s beauty, saying, “Aren‘t you happy with the two-shot?”, and “Are you really the mother of two babies? ㅋㅋ”.

Earlier, Seo Ji-young appeared on Lee Ji-hye’s YouTube channel, “The Unhateable Kwan-jong Sister” on the same day. On this day, Lee Ji-hye introduced Seo Ji-young as “My best friend who I was very close with and became close with again, with whom I went through a milestone in my life.”

Lee Ji-hye then said, “By greeting each other like this, I hope there will be no more (talk) about discord between the members.” To this, Seo Ji-young said, “Well, it was true. But he responded coolly, saying, “It’s been too long for that.”

Meanwhile, Lee Ji-hye and Seo Ji-young debuted as a mixed group, “Shop,” in October 1998 and disbanded in October 2002.
