    On the March 23 episode of SBS’s Running Man, Sakura and her fellow member Hong Eunchae appeared as guests for the “Charging Before Leaving” race.

    During the episode, Sakura talked about her much younger brother, saying, “He was born in 2010, so we’re 12 years apart."

    She added, "He’s going through puberty, so he doesn’t really care about his sister being in a girl group. He likes me, but he doesn’t show it.”

    Curious, Yoo Jae Suk asked, “Do you think he likes your group?”

    Sakura hesitated before revealing, “I think so… but he told me he likes IVE and aespa more.”

  • Lee Hyori’s touching gesture for Choi Jin Sil’s mother has everyone calling her 'Mother Hyorisa'

    Singer Lee Hyori is being praised once again for her touching act of kindness toward the late actress Choi Jin Sil’s mother, a story that has recently resurfaced online and has people calling her ‘Mother Hyorisa’ for a reason.

    This story gained attention after Lee Hyori shared it during her appearance on the YouTube variety show Super Market Sora, which aired on February 7 of last year. On the show, Lee Hyori opened up about how she comforted Choi Jin Sil’s mother at the actress’s funeral, even though she wasn’t very close to Choi Jin Sil personally.

    During the show, Lee Hyori shared, “At the funeral, Unnie (referring to Um Jung Hwa), Jin Young oppa, and Jin Sil unnie’s mother were there. I didn’t know most of them, and I was still young, so I didn’t really know how to comfort anyone. I just sat nearby and watched the unnies comfort her.”

    She continued, “It was around 11 or 12 at night. Jin Young oppa seemed out of place with the others, so I went to his room. He played a duet song with Jin Sil unnie that was never released, and asked if I wanted to listen. The song even had a music video with candid moments of Jin Sil unnie. He cried while watching it. I was still young, so I just sat next to him. When I came out, all the unnies had left. I was going to leave too, but Jin Sil unnie’s mother asked if I could stay for just one night.”

    Lee Hyori added, “I didn’t feel like saying no. I thought, ‘If I can be of help, I’ll stay.’ So I slept in her room, and she held me while sleeping. Then I had a dream. Jin Sil unnie came to me—even though I had never met her in person—and said, ‘Please take care of Hwan Hee and Joon Hee.’ It was a strange dream, but even so, I couldn’t keep visiting their house or taking care of the children after that.”'

    This touching moment continues to earn Lee Hyori praise for her kind-hearted nature. Often called "Mother Hyorisa" by fans (a nickname combining "Hyo Ri" and "Mother Teresa"), Lee Hyori is known for her good deeds. She has volunteered for abandoned animals, anonymously donated masks to low-income groups during the early days of COVID-19, and gave 100 million won during the 2023 Gangwon wildfires.

    Beyond her TV appearances, Lee Hyori has shown her sincerity on shows like Hyori’s Bed and Breakfast, where she was praised for remembering her guests and keeping in touch with them even after they left. Her actions speak louder than words, and this is exactly why people continue to call her "Mother Hyorisa."

    Fans continue to be moved by her unwavering kindness and generosity, proving that Lee Hyori is truly a role model in more ways than one.
