Park Bom, who has gained attention for reasons other than her music, is set to showcase a different side of herself with her latest song. She announced that her new song, 'I', will be released on the 22nd at 6 p.m. This comeback comes after a hiatus of 1 year and 8 months since her collaboration with Kim Min-seok of Melomance on 'Flower' in March of last year.

Describing 'I' as a medium-tempo pop ballad with a blend of acoustic and electric guitar sounds, Park Bom expresses a sentimental lyricism that portrays the lonely and indifferent emotions of 'I', who is alone.

Previously, Park Bom grabbed attention for her rapid weight loss with the help of a diet company. She has faced controversies and scrutiny surrounding 'health anomalies' since her days with 2NE1 when she had a fuller figure.

However, Park Bom revealed that she successfully lost a total of 11 kg, going from 70 kg to 59 kg with the assistance of the diet company. Park Bom struggled with mood swings and an uncontrollable appetite due to ADD medication, making it difficult for her to lead a normal life. After discontinuing the medication, she shocked many with her weight loss.

However, concerns about her health and the yo-yo effect soon arose, and her use of ADD medication only added to the worries.

In response to concerns, Park Bom's agency explained that she was not able to pay attention to her diet during her inactive period but is now actively managing it. Despite gaining attention through non-musical elements, Park Bom faced disappointment as her activities as a singer were not highlighted after the disbandment of 2NE1.

Although Park Bom is making her return after 1 year and 8 months with her new song, it has been reported that there are no plans for her new song to be promoted on music shows or other broadcasts.

However, industry insiders have mentioned that broadcast appearances are being positively considered for her next album, raising expectations for Park Bom's future activities. Recognized for her unique and distinctive vocal color, Park Bom must now shine through her songs as she makes her long-awaited return to the music scene.

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.
