Former AOA member ChoA has recently become the talk of the town among netizens after announcing her decision to undergo egg freezing procedure.

On February 17, 2023, she uploaded a video titled "Confessions in My Tipsiness. Stories I haven't shared… Yet," on her YouTube channel.

Starting with a mukbang video featuring tteokbokki, ChoA opened up about her hiatus from the music industry, saying, "I think I spent two years without any motivation. I was like a patient, living like a night owl for three years. Eventually, I started my YouTube channel, and I was grateful for the support I received after my comeback. But I feel like I'm lacking the same passion I used to have as a singer, and I need to work hard to regain it."

ChoA also shared her thoughts on aging, saying, "As adults, we gradually lose our energy and passion. After my comeback, I felt unmotivated for about two years. I was asked what my dream was for my 40s when I appeared on a variety show, but I had never thought about it before. I realized that could be my problem."

Regarding marriage, ChoA said, "I'm not against marriage, and I don't mind having children. However, I'm not confident that I can handle marriage, raising a child, and work altogether. After taking a three-year break, I feel like I need to start working again, and that's why I mentioned egg freezing procedure."

ChoA revealed that she has been contemplating egg freezing procedure because she feels that it would provide her with more options in terms of having a child.

"With egg freezing procedure, I don't have to worry about social time constraints due to biological limits. I can get married whenever I want, but having a child is only possible when it's biologically feasible," she said.

ChoA's honesty and candidness in sharing her thoughts on her personal and professional life have sparked discussions among netizens.

Many have expressed their support and admiration for her decision to undergo egg freezing procedure and for being open about her struggles.

IU couldn’t help but praise her When Life Gives You Tangerines co-star Kim Seon Ho for his amazing and detailed acting — even revealing that one of his funniest and most touching moments wasn’t even in the script!

On April 3, Netflix Korea dropped a special behind-the-scenes video on YouTube, titled “We Shared All the TMIs and Behind-the-Scenes.”

The video featured director Kim Won Seok, along with cast members IU, Park Bo Gum, Moon So Ri, and Park Hae Joon, as they talked about the drama’s filming stories and shared fun trivia.

IU, who played Geum Myeong, opened up about her character’s first love Yeong Beom (played by Lee Jun Young), saying,
“They were each other’s first love and stayed together for seven years. There was no big fight between them. They broke up for a bad reason, but she still wishes he’s doing okay out there.”

She also talked about the drama’s clever twist, saying,
“There’s this part where Yeong Beom and Gwan Sik say similar lines, so the parents start thinking, ‘Did she bring home the same guy again?’ But in the end, it shows how different they are, which made the story even better.”

IU revealed she cried a lot during the breakup scene and said,
“Even reading the script made me cry. Jun Young and I were crying so much while filming.”
Director Kim added, “This might be the first K-drama where the ex-boyfriend doesn’t die, but the main character still gets to love both her first and second loves.”

Meanwhile, Park Hae Joon had nothing but compliments for Kim Seon Ho, who played Chung Seop.
He said, “Sun Ho doesn’t just go through the lines. He acts with his instincts. He reminded me of myself when I was younger — a bit loose and free, and I liked that about him.”

IU also brought up one memorable scene where Chung Seop stumbles while trying to grab a chair. She laughed and asked,
“That part where he walks and suddenly stumbles — wasn’t that not in the script?”
Director Kim Won Seok confirmed it was all Kim Seon Ho’s idea, saying, “It wasn’t scripted at all.”

That wasn’t the only moment he improvised. The director also revealed,
“There’s a line where he says, ‘Shall I peel the shrimp for you?’ and he briefly switches back to his real voice. That was also his own idea. His acting is full of small details like that.”

Fans were touched by IU’s sincere praise and how much freedom Kim Sun Ho used to build his character. With so many meaningful little moments, it’s no wonder When Life Gives You Tangerines is gaining love for its emotional depth and realistic storytelling.

Netizens reacted by saying:

• “Kim Seon Ho really gives life to every scene.”
• “IU noticing these small things proves how much she cares too.”
• “Kim Seon Ho’s shrimp line was one of my favorite parts!”
• “This cast is full of talent and heart.”

It turns out, sometimes the best acting moments… aren’t even written down.
