• "They can't eat their favorite snack often" aespa's Snack Incident Sparks Discussion on the Pressures Faced by Idols

    aespa Members Show Consideration for Manager Even While Snacking During Filming

    In a recent episode of the YouTube channel 'Midnight Idol Complaint Office hosted by Director Heo,' popular K-pop group aespa made a guest appearance, seeking counseling and advice.

    However, even during their snack break, the members remained aware of their manager's presence on set.

    Prior to delving into the main discussion, Heo Young-ji, the show's host, decided to treat aespa with their favorite snack, Pringles.

    As soon as the aespa members caught sight of the Pringles container, their faces lit up with excitement. Each member received a container as a gift, and their smiles grew wider.

    Expressing their enthusiasm, the members commented, "We shouldn't share just one container," and "Having one container is just the beginning. It's like an appetizer."

    Following the snack distribution, Heo Young-ji casually mentioned, "Feel free to eat while we talk." At that moment, Karina, one of the aespa members, glanced at their manager and opened her Pringles, stating, "I have to open this while looking at Oppa."

    Karina's expression, seemingly conveying the message, "I'm going to enjoy this snack," caught the attention of everyone present.

    It appeared that the accumulated tension with their manager in various situations played a role in the member's actions.

    Noticing the manager's presence, the other members hesitated to start eating immediately. However, unable to contain herself any longer, Heo Young-ji exclaimed, "Where did it go?" This remark brought a sense of relief, almost "threatening" the manager in a playful manner.

    Consequently, the members felt more at ease and comfortably engaged in the snack session.

    Despite their slender figures, aespa received comments from online users expressing concerns about potential weight gain.

    Some comments included, "Will they gain weight just from eating one container of snacks?" and "We hope they can eat a lot and stay healthy."

    These reactions highlighted the challenges faced by idols in maintaining a balance between their public image and personal desires.

  • Former S.E.S Shoo brings her twin daughters to a night market and reveals emotional story: “I once sold clothes just to get by”

    Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

    On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

    The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

    Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

    Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

    Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

    Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

    Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
