SM Entertainment said on January 25 that Taeyong will be back to working alone with a new mini-album and a solo show.

The agency says that Taeyong's second mini album will come out on February 26 and that he will have a solo show at Olympic Hall in Seoul from February 24th and 25th.

Today, the facts of Taeyong's first concert by himself were made public. The information says that VIP tickets (standing) cost 198,000 KRW (about 148.08 USD) and normal tickets (standing and sitting) cost 154,000 KRW (about 115.19 USD).

People in a famous online community talked about this announcement and left comments wondering if Taeyong would be able to fill the hall.

They said, "Don't you need to be at Taeyeon, Taemin, or Baekhyun level to do solo concerts in SM Entertainment?," "Can Taeyong get everyone to sit down?" "I'm not asking with bad intentions; I'm just really interested," "Can he sell out that venue?," "The hall is probably small so who would pay 198,000 for the VIP seats when there won't be much difference with the 154,000 KRW seat," "I'm guess this is his last promotion before he enlists in the mandatory military service," she said. "No offense but does he have enough solo songs to do a solo concert?"

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
