Singer Kim Yeon-ja, affiliated with Choi Lab, appeared as the team Korea captain on TV CHOSUN's Lunar New Year special project "Korea-Japan Deathmatch" on the show "Geum Taneun Geumyoil," leading the team to ultimate victory.

In the program aired on the 20th, Kim Yeon-ja dominated the atmosphere with her undeniable presence and gentle charisma. Through witty yet sincere judging comments, she demonstrated warm leadership by encouraging both her junior team members and the opposing team.

Kim Yeon-ja gave generous applause and witty feedback to the Japanese team's performance. After Masato's "Blue Coral Reef" stage, she joked, "I want to go to the sea with Masato-san. Above all, he is handsome," and added, "If you have time next time, let's go to the sea together," bringing laughter to the scene.

After the performance of "Choo Hyeokjin, Bae Ah-hyun, and Oh Yoo-jin's 'Juicy Go'," she praised, "I don't need to give any opinions. You did so well."

Kim Yeon-ja also expressed heartfelt admiration as a musician to Team Japan, who performed with Korean lyrics, saying, "Your breathing and dance were well synchronized. It must have been difficult since the lyrics were in Korean, but you matched them well. It sounded like a song you always perform. You did excellently."

In the final stage, she performed a duet of "Anata" with Takahashi Yoko and Kosaka Akiko, showcasing a fantastic harmony, followed by a solo stage "For You," adding meaning to Korea-Japan unity.
