(G)I-DLE's Miyeon Shares Her Journey From Being A Guest To Becoming A Permanent Cast Member On The New Variety Show 'City Z Goes to the Countryside'

On September 5, cast members Yang Se Chan, Lee Eun Ji, Song Gun Hee, (G)I-DLE’s Miyeon , and Jung Dong Won attended a press conference for ENA’s upcoming variety show City Z Goes to the Countryside . Premiering on September 8 at 8:30 PM KST, this new program offers a refreshing break from city life as the cast enjoys peaceful one-night, two-day countryside getaways.

The show features a blend of Millennials and Gen Z cast members like Lee Yi Kyung (absent at the conference) who represent those caught up in the fast-paced urban grind. Each episode promises fun, relaxation, and exploration of the quiet joys of rural living.

Miyeon's Unplanned but Perfect Fit

Miyeon’s journey on City Z began unexpectedly. Initially invited as a guest for the first recording, she quickly felt right at home. “I thought that I would just go, have fun, and eat a lot, but when I got to the recording site, it felt like there was a spot just left over for me there, like I was the last piece of the puzzle,” she shared, smiling. Her enthusiasm to stay led to her becoming a permanent cast member.

Yang Se Chan also revealed how naturally Miyeon fit into the group: “I strangely found myself relying on Miyeon, who was supposed to be a guest. So when we said goodbye, I told her she should come every week, and it actually turned out that way.”

About Miyeon: More Than Just a Singer

Miyeon is no stranger to the spotlight. As the lead vocalist of (G)I-DLE, she’s already made waves in K-pop. Beyond her role in the group, she’s also lent her voice to the popular virtual K-pop group K/DA, voicing Ahri, a beloved character in League of Legends. Her performance of Pop/Stars with K/DA went viral, topping the Billboard World Digital Songs chart.

Miyeon’s diverse talents don’t stop at music. From travel variety shows like Seoul Connects U to collaborations with artists like Raiden and Lee Donghae, Miyeon continues to expand her creative footprint.

Now, with City Z Goes to the Countryside, fans can see a new side of Miyeon, where her down-to-earth personality shines through, making her a perfect addition to the show’s laid-back, countryside vibes.
