Former Sugar members Hwang Jung-eum and Ayumi brought plenty of laughs with the effortless chemistry only 20-year friends could have. In a video released on Hwang Jung-eum’s personal YouTube channel on the 19th, the two showcased their enduring bond with unfiltered banter and a surprising transformation.

The highlight was Hwang Jung-eum’s bold visual transformation. She styled herself as 'Hwang-Jennie,' rocking BLACKPINK Jennie-inspired makeup paired with a daring lingerie-look slip dress. Ayumi’s reaction—the quintessential skeptical friend asking to "please mosaic this because it's too racy"—had everyone laughing.

The pair’s spicy talk reached its peak at a snack bar in Itaewon. Ayumi exposed Hwang Jung-eum’s so-called 'acting disease' from her rookie days, right after she left Sugar to transition into acting. Ayumi shared a cute anecdote about meeting in Apgujeong back then: even though Hwang wasn't actually busy at all, she wanted to look like a high-demand actress, so she intentionally tucked a script halfway out of her designer bag. Now that time has passed, the two can laugh about that past swagger, and fans are finding it endearingly relatable.

The episode captured their raw, unfiltered day, from visiting an Itaewon club in flashy outfits only to find it closed, to getting a harsh reality check from a tarot card reading that said, "there are no men in your life anyway." Their playful friendship, unchanged after all these years, continues to send positive energy to everyone watching.
