On the February 27th broadcast of ENA's "Change Street," the first busking scenes of the third lineup members were revealed. Korean team members Kara's Heo Youngji, Astro Yoon Sanha, Pentagon's Hui, HYNN (Park Hye-won), and Japanese team members Miwa and Kanou Miyu each performed their own stages. The Korean team performed at Tokyo Tower, a symbol of Tokyo, Japan, while the Japanese team took the stage on the rooftop of the RIIZE Autograph Collection Hotel in Hongdae, Seoul.
The Korean team had their first meeting at Fuji TV headquarters in Japan. Heo Youngji and Hui, who arrived first, naturally broke the ice and started a conversation. Heo Youngji joked to Hui, saying, "The family tree got tangled," which brought laughter. Afterwards, the four shouted their team slogan, "We are youth!" and expressed their determination for their first overseas busking experience.
The first performer, HYNN (Park Hye-won), chose "Touch Love" by Yoon Mirae, the OST of the drama "Master's Sun." She filled the stage with her unique vocal tone and sincere emotion, and the audience responded by waving their hands. Hui admired, "It felt like stepping into a scene from the drama," and Heo Youngji also said, "That scene came to mind exactly."
Heo Youngji then took the stage with "Don't Forget," by Baek Ji-young, the OST of the drama "IRIS." She showed a different side as an emotional ballad singer, distinct from her flashy performances, and her powerful vocals and delicate emotional lines proved her experience as a former Kara member. After the performance, MC Yunho Yunho shared an anecdote related to the drama "IRIS," filling the venue with laughter. He mentioned that his drama debut work "Heading to the Ground" was a competing show airing at the same time and said, "There were controversies about my acting skills, but the competition was very strong. Still, I believe that the past is why I am here now."
Hui selected "You to Me, Me to You" by Bicycle Riding Scenery, the OST of the movie "Classic." His clear and transparent vocal tone blended with the blue sky, evoking nostalgic memories. Lastly, Yoon Sanha sweetly reinterpreted SS501's "Because My Head Is Bad," the OST of the drama "Boys Over Flowers," marking a page of youth.
The first performer from the Japanese team was top singer-songwriter Miwa. She chose "First Love" by Utada Hikaru, captivating the audience's emotions with her clear vocal tone. Following her, rising star Kanou Miyu took the stage with "Barefoot Season" by Matsuda Seiko. Her cute gestures and bright energy completed a refreshing moment.
Miwa took the microphone again and selected "Mureureuneun Maeum" by ZARD, a representative band of 90s Japan, summoning the youth of that era. Her clean and clear vocal tone filled the rooftop. After all the performances, Manager Matsuda remarked, "I wonder how amazing the stage would be if we could bring all these people together for a concert." MC Shin Dong-yup added, "Please look forward to it, as that dream might come true soon."
This broadcast marked the first overseas busking featuring artists from Korea and Japan, serving as an important opportunity to showcase collaboration and musical exchange between the two teams. Each artist left a deep impression on the audience by expressing their individuality and emotions.
