After news spread that former Brave Girls member Minyoung would be pursuing permanently as a café owner following the group's disbandment, she stepped forward to clarify the situation.

On March 4th, Minyoung posted a lengthy message on her personal social media account, stating, "I am very grateful to those who have supported and left messages of regret after reading café-related articles or content."

Minyoung explained that while coffee is her hobby, it is also a small dream of hers to have a communication channel with fans. She added, "I plan to work harder in various activities and my main profession."

She expressed her ambition to showcase diverse activities and stages in the future and emphasized that she is still a singer. She respectfully conveyed her admiration for café owners nationwide while requesting support for her new endeavors.

Netizen Comments:

"I support Minyoung's decision to pursue her hobbies and new opportunities, but I'm sad to see the group disband."

"It's understandable that they want to try new things, but I'll miss Brave Girls as a group."

"I hope Minyoung finds success in her new endeavors and that we can continue to support her."

"It's disappointing that they couldn't renew their contracts, but I hope each member finds happiness in their future paths."

"I'll always be a fan of Brave Girls and their music, no matter what happens in the future."

Earlier, Brave Entertainment announced the end of exclusive contracts with Minyoung, Yoojung, Eunji, and Yuna of Brave Girls. The four members started their activities as second-generation members in 2016.

Although "Rollin'" reversed popularity in 2021 after four years since its release, the group faced regrettable circumstances as their exclusive contracts with the agency ended in less than two years, leading to their practical disbandment.

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.
