In an exciting turn of events, the conclusion of ENA's groundbreaking all-female cast variety show, "HyeMiLeeYeChaePa," has left viewers eagerly awaiting a possible second season. Producer Lee Tae-kyung, known for his previous work on talk show "Life Bar" and music variety show "Amazing Saturday," expressed his optimism for the show's future during a recent interview.

Reflecting on the captivating journey of "HyeMiLeeYeChaePa," which brought together four renowned K-pop singers, including Hyeri of Girl's Day, Miyeon of (G)I-DLE, Yena of IZ*ONE, and Chaewon of Le Sserafim, alongside TV personalities Patricia Yiombi and choreographer Leejung, Producer Lee revealed, "All of the cast members and production team are waiting for Season 2. If the time and situation are right, we will be able to present a more interesting and more desperate Season 2."

The premise of the reality show revolved around inviting the six celebrities for a series of overnight stays at an empty, unfurnished house. To furnish the house and acquire necessary supplies, they were tasked with completing various missions and games to earn cash.

The final episode, which aired on Sunday, featured the cast members embarking on individual quests to accrue cash that would aid them in settling into their new housing in a potential Season 2. This subtle hint at a follow-up season sparked excitement and speculation among fans.

Producer Lee, who experienced mixed emotions as the show came to a close, expressed his newfound understanding of the complex feelings that accompany the finale of a series. "I haven't done a lot of series with follow-up seasons, so I've never understood the feeling you get with a finale. But now, I understand why my fellow producers went through a complicated emotion after wrapping a show," he shared.

While acknowledging that there were areas where improvements could have been made, Producer Lee also expressed his gratitude for the memorable journey. "I do have regrets that I could've done better, but I'm left with more pleasant memories of this project. I've learned a lot. I hope that the past six months were a chance to grow for everyone who has been with this show."

Hyeri, one of the K-pop singers featured in the show, expressed her heartfelt appreciation to the viewers. She described "HyeMiLeeYeChaePa" as a much-needed winter vacation that provided her with a precious opportunity to rest and rejuvenate amidst the monotonous routine of daily life. With the breathtaking landscapes of Gangwon Province serving as the backdrop, Hyeri relished the filming experience, likening it to an exhilarating travel adventure. She further expressed her joy in forming strong bonds with her five talented colleagues throughout the show.

Producer Lee spoke highly of Hyeri, describing her as an all-rounder talent for variety shows. Their previous collaboration on "Amazing Saturday" deepened their trust in each other. He commended Hyeri's unwavering commitment, responsibility, and her willingness to go above and beyond the show's requirements. "She gave the show her all. She's very responsible so I could rely on her. She even takes care of things outside just the show itself. I feel like I've developed stronger faith in her," he shared.

The chemistry among all the cast members was evident, and Producer Lee expressed his admiration for their collective excellence.
