Opening: Hyeri's Club Is Back, and Rijeong Arrives
The video opens with Hyeri greeting her Hyeri's Club viewers after a long absence. Having been away frequently for overseas schedules, she says "I really missed you all," and reveals she's prepared her favorite menu: chicken and beer. She mentions she often orders boneless Puradak chicken, explaining, "It's made from 100% thigh meat, so I always get this one."
"Today's chicken comes with a savory and spicy pepper mayo sauce paired with jalapeños. It's a perfect combination — nothing to worry about."
Soon, today's guest Rijeong makes her entrance. Hyeri says she tried copying Rijeong's hairstyle after looking up "Rijeong puka," drawing laughs. The two note that while they've met privately a few times, "this is the first time we're actually drinking together," setting a slightly awkward but exciting tone for the conversation.
Chicken, Beer, and Their First Drink Together
With chicken and beer in front of them, the two clink glasses and dive into conversation. Rijeong says she loves chicken and beer, praising the taste: "The jalapeños give it a clean finish." Hyeri thanks Rijeong for coming on as a guest, admitting "I was actually a little nervous to invite you," to which Rijeong honestly replies, "I was waiting for you to call. I would have been genuinely hurt if you hadn't."
"I was waiting for you to invite me. I almost felt left out."
Rijeong's Recent Life and Work Style
When Hyeri asks what she's been up to lately, Rijeong says "There's a lot of work I can't reveal yet." She explains that she tends to focus on one creative project at a time rather than juggling multiple things at once — but recently work piled up and she managed to complete three projects in a single month.
"I'm the type who focuses on one thing at a time, but thankfully the work kept coming, and I've done three in a month."
She also mentions that she recently finished working on Taeyong's music program.
Rijeong's Top Three Dancers
When Hyeri asks her to name the top three dancers she'd pick, Rijeong answers without hesitation.
- Lisa (LISA)
- "Lisa is definitely number one. It's hard to look cool when you dance, but Lisa was just born with it."
- Lisa once learned a choreography on a tight deadline before a concert, and nailed it perfectly in two days in front of just two small mirrors.
"Lisa absolutely destroyed that stage. She really tore it apart."
- Momo (MOMO, TWICE)
- "Momo's movements are incredibly precise — she executes my choreography exactly as I envisioned it, as if she made it herself."
- Rijeong also mentions she has personally directed a dance video for Momo.
- Taeyong (TAEYONG)
- "With Taeyong, there's no ceiling on difficulty. He can pull off anything, which takes a lot of pressure off me."
- She also shares behind-the-scenes details about the choreography for Taeyong's 'SHALALA.'
Pride as a Choreographer and Award Acceptance Speech
Hyeri brings up that Rijeong won Choreographer of the Year at the Video Music Awards (VMAs), and asks her to give an acceptance speech on the spot. Rijeong thanks BLACKPINK and recalls, "When we heard about the nomination, all four choreographers celebrated together."
"When we found out we won the VMA, I got chills. Seeing my name on the astronaut trophy made me tear up."
Rijeong's Real Name and TMI
Rijeong reveals that her real name is Lee Ijeong, and says that Hyeri was the first person to ever call her by her real name. She adds that lately, whenever someone calls her by her real name, she gets a flutter of emotion.
"These days, whenever someone calls me by my real name, I get this strange little thrill. It's a name I haven't heard in a long time."
Rijeong's Upbringing and Her Destiny as a Dancer
When Hyeri asks when she first realized she was good at dancing, Rijeong recalls the moment in third grade when she performed Wonder Girls' 'Tell Me' on stage.
"I was on stage dancing, and I thought — 'Ah, this is what I was born to do.'"
She gained more confidence after quickly picking up the choreography for Girls' Generation's 'Into the New World.' Despite her parents' objections, she convinced them in her third year of middle school and began dancing seriously.
"I never wanted to be a singer. It was always just dancing. I am a dancer."
The '24 Years Old' Moment and Street Woman Fighter Behind the Scenes
The highlight of the video is Rijeong's candid confession about the '24 years old' meme. She looks back on the moment from Street Woman Fighter when she famously said, "What were you doing when you were 24?" — a line that went viral.
"I was half out of my mind back then. I don't know why I said that. I'm sorry."
She says that at the time, all she could think about was winning, and everyone was putting everything on the line. She had no idea the show would blow up the way it did, joking that she would have gone on a diet if she had known.
"In episode one I look like a baby elephant. Back then nobody knew who we were, and nobody knew the show would become what it did."
She mentions that the clip has surpassed 10 million views on YouTube, and says, "I think I've watched it at least 10,000 times myself," getting a laugh.
After Street Woman Fighter, and a Potential Judging Role
Hyeri asks if she's been keeping up with the later seasons of Street Woman Fighter, and Rijeong says she's watched all of them — hoping the juniors had a slightly easier time. If an offer came in for her to judge Season 3, she says it would be a lot of pressure, but "I'd still do it."
"It'd be a huge burden, but I'd still do it. Even carrying that weight on my shoulders."
Love for Dance and Everyday Life
Rijeong says honestly that there are no days she doesn't want to dance — but there are days she dreads having to create. Even so, once she gets to the studio, she quickly finds joy in it. She's not a big fan of working out, saying she burns all her energy dancing, so at home she winds down by playing Nintendo.
Fashion, Makeup, and Rijeong's Signature Look
Rijeong reveals her love of fashion, advising: "Keeping up with trends matters, but knowing what style suits you best is more important." Hyeri notes that a simple style really suits her.
On makeup, she says she focuses more on blush and lip than eye makeup. She emphasizes that nose contouring (shading) is absolutely non-negotiable.
"Nose shading is a must. That's the most important thing."
She also shares the behind-the-scenes story of her lip piercing. At 21, she disliked looking young for her age and wanted a stronger facial presence, so she called her mom and said, "Mom, I'm here to get my lip pierced" — and did it on the spot.
"The lip piercing is my identity. I can change my hair, but the lip piercing — that I can't give up."
Closing: Today's TMI and Warm Farewells
When asked for their TMI of the day, Rijeong says she clipped her nails in the car on the way over, earning a small laugh. The two both admit they're actually not great drinkers, and thank each other — Hyeri for the invite, Rijeong for coming.
"I hope Hyeri's Club keeps killing it! Well, it already is."
