Girls' Generation's Kwon Yuri was reminded of her ex-boyfriend.

On the August 14 episode of KBS 2TV's ‘Happy Together – Glad We're Not Alone,’ the story of Oh Yoon-gi and Lee Chae-eun from the team ‘You Were My Twenties’ was revealed.

The two broke up last December after dating for eight years and one month, and surprised everyone by revealing that Lee Chae-eun currently has a boyfriend. Lee Chae-eun, who appeared on the show with her boyfriend's support, said that she was the one who first suggested appearing together with her ex-boyfriend, Oh Yoon-gi. She explained, “Leaving aside the fact that we were a couple, we had worked together for such a long time that when I thought about the team, I couldn't think of anyone but him.”

Oh Yoon-gi explained, “After being together for a long time, I knew that singing was her dream, but she always gave up before trying because of her stage fright. When she said that she had overcome it this time and wanted to gather the courage to go onstage, I thought I should help her in any way I could.” He also revealed that Lee Chae-eun had been his musical muse.

Unlike Lee Chae-eun, Oh Yoon-gi confessed that he was still sorting out his feelings. With the resolve to bring everything to a perfect close after that day, he played along to Lee Chae-eun's performance of ‘You Were My Twenties.’ When the lyrics said, ‘You have to be happy,’ the sight of the two looking at each other and sincerely cheering one another on deeply moved the MCs, including Yoo Jae-suk.

Kwon Yuri said, “It isn't easy for a song to have the power to take you back to who you were in your twenties when you listen to it. That's what every singer hopes for.” She continued, “Without even realizing it, I went back to my twenties and found myself thinking, ‘You have to be happy’ and ‘I'm sorry’ to my ex-boyfriends whom I had treated badly. Thank you for taking me that far.” Her words elicited laughter.
