YENA and Jung Yong-hwa Reveal They Were Cast Offers for 'I am a Celebrity Solo'

YENA and Jung Yong-hwa revealed on the YouTube channel 'MMTG Civilization Express' that they had received casting offers for the entertainment program 'I am a Celebrity Solo'. Jung Yong-hwa shared that during the filming of 'My Remaining Love', MC Lee Se-young suddenly suggested he appear on the show, saying "I couldn't believe how absurd it was when she asked me to join after saying it was about love." YENA also disclosed her experience, stating "the host also called me to discuss it." According to YENA, Lee Se-young asked her, "Do you have someone you're dating right now? Even if you do, would you like to appear on the show?" but YENA declined by saying "I'm an idol." Jung Yong-hwa responded with "She really tried regardless of career level," while Doh Kyung humorously added "She basically poked everyone, didn't she?" Lee Se-young ultimately admitted "It was impossible."
