In the MBC entertainment program 'Radio Star' broadcast on the afternoon of November 24th, MAMAMOO's Solar appeared as a guest and opened her side about the recently talked about mukbang.

Solar said, "I had a strawberry mukbang on my personal channel. But that became a controversy. Because, I ate all the strawberries up to the top."

She explained, "It's too troublesome to take off the faucet and eat it. I just ate it all because it was bothersome, but the number of views exploded. They were very surprised."

Solar said, "There is no difference in taste from peeling it." "I usually don't like vegetables, so I just ate them with the thought of eating vegetables."

Upon hearing this, MC Kim Gura asked, "Do you usually like geeks?" Then, Kim Gook-jin, who was next to him, said, "If you really like geeky food, isn't it geeky to just pick up the faucet and eat it?"

Meanwhile, in addition to Solar, Kim Young-ok, Park So-dam, and singer Jeong Dong-won also appeared as guests on MBC 'Radio Star'.

Yujeong, former member of BB Girls, has officially made her solo debut, marking a new chapter in her career!

On January 19th, Yujeong appeared on MBC's King of Masked Singer, where she faced off against the reigning champion, "Flower-scented Perfume", in a thrilling second-round match.

However, Yujeong humbly gave credit to all the members, saying, "I don’t think it was just me, but all the members worked hard for it. I have a loud laugh, and when I was in school, I often got scolded by teachers. I think people loved me because my laughter made them smile, so I will keep laughing more in the future."

Yujeong also shared a touching moment from her time with BB Girls, recalling a special fan gift from a soldier. "

"There was a soldier who drew my face exactly the same and gave it to me as a gift. I cried a lot looking at the pencil marks and eraser marks all over the paper. I was so grateful," she said.

Looking ahead, Yujeong is ready for her solo journey, sharing, "I’m preparing a solo album. I’m also challenging myself with various variety shows, MC roles, and acting, so I hope you will continue to watch and support me."
