Hwang Jung-eum will be reuniting with Ayumi and Yook Hye-seung (Han Ye-won) for the first time on TV since the disbandment of girl group Sugar, and will also reveal the rumors of her feud with Ayumi and the whole story behind her departure from Sugar.

Episode 10 of the SBS Plus·E Channel jointly produced entertainment show ‘Because I‘m Solo’, which will air on the afternoon of the 11th, will reveal the scene where Hwang Jung-eum invites Sugar members Ayumi and Yook Hye-seung to ‘Jung-eum House’, and performs a ‘Sugar reunion’(?) stage for the first time in 20 years.

On this day, Hwang Jung-eum is delighted to see a visit from Ayumi, her ‘parenting comrade’, who is raising her 6-month-old daughter. Ayumi, who is visiting the newly moved ‘Jung-eum House’ for the first time, looks around the toy room and other places in the house with Hwang Jung-eum. Meanwhile, when a spacious dressing room appears, Ayumi exclaims, “It’s almost like a store.” Regarding the dressing room filled with fancy clothes, Hwang Jung-eum recalls, “I think I consoled my empty heart after marriage with clothes,” and makes everyone laugh with her self-deprecating(?) comment, “Isn‘t it almost like a circus?”



After a while, Yuk Hye-seung also visits, and the Sugar trio, who have finally reunited, reminisce while talking about those days. In particular, Ayumi expresses regret, saying, “I wish (Park) Soo-jin had been there too,” about meeting them on TV for the first time in 20 years since Sugar’s disbandment. Hwang Jung-eum cheers her on, saying, “I heard (Park Soo-jin) is doing well in Hawaii, raising her children.” Following this, Hwang Jung-eum confessed, “In the past, I thought we would become the ‘second Fin.K.L.’ when we debuted, but the reality was different. At the time, the team received attention thanks to Ayumi‘s popularity, but at the same time, I felt small.” Ayumi mentioned, “So when (Hwang) Jung-eum left, there was an article saying it was because of me,” and brought up the ’discord rumors‘. Hwang Jung-eum explained, “Unlike the other members, my contract period was short,” and revealed the real reason why she had no choice but to leave.

Amidst curiosity about the story behind Sugar’s withdrawal, Hwang Jung-eum is excited about the ‘Sugar reunion’ after 20 years and suggests going to a karaoke. Right after, the three people visit Hwang Jung-eum‘s regular karaoke and perform the ’Muajigyeong‘ dance, starting with Ayumi’s solo song ‘Cutie Honey’. Meanwhile, Ayumi says, “I‘m reminded of the old days,” and her eyes turn red. Attention is focused on the thoughts of the Sugar trio who have reunited after 20 years, and the explosive laughter, tears, and tension at the ‘New Year’s party’.

Hwang Jung-eum‘s solo life and a day spent by Yoon Se-ah, another ‘solo sister’, with her mother Kim Sang-soon, a professional baduk player and ‘first female go player’, can be seen on the 10th episode of ‘Because I’m Solo’, which airs on SBS Plus at 8:40 PM on the 11th (Tuesday).
