Actress Kang Ye Won, co-representative of the company to which YouTuber Free Zia belongs, has made Instagram private.

Kang Ye Won made her Instagram private on January 25th, two days after she took down all the photos she took with Free Zia.

This seems to be the move that Kang Ye Won decided as the controversy surrounding Free Zia continued to grow rather than subside.

Kang Ye Won, co-representative of Hyowon CNC, to which Free Zia belongs, was scheduled to appear with Free Zia as her manager on 'Omniscient Interfering View', which was scheduled to air on January 29th.

However, before the broadcast, the 'controversy over wearing fakes' surrounding Free Zia arose, and the broadcast was canceled.

JTBC's 'Knowing Bros', in which the two appeared together, was aired with as much Free Zia as possible, but there was still noise in some parts even after the broadcast. 

In response to this controversy, Kang Ye Won deleted all the photos she took with Free Zia that she had posted on her Instagram.

Even after that, some did not stop criticizing Kang Ye Won and Free Zia's agency, who were silent in the controversy, and it seems that Kang Ye Won turned her social media private in the end.

Earlier, through her Instagram, Kang Ye Won expressed her affection for Free Zia as "my little sister", so many fans' attention was focused on her move. 

Meanwhile, Free Zia gained great popularity by appearing in Netflix's dating reality program "Single's Inferno". 

Afterwards, she was caught up in suspicions of appearing on the show wearing fake products, and on January 17th she posted a handwritten letter and expressed her apology. At the dawn of January 25th, she treated all videos uploaded to she YouTube channel as private and uploaded an additional apology video.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
