• “We can’t help but feel emotional”— Former SECRET Member Ji Eun Reveals Feeling Like a 'Loser' During Group Days

    Ji Eun shared her feelings of being a "loser" during her time as a member of SECRET on the February 23rd episode of 'Jun Hyun Moo's Plan'.

    She opened up about a difficult period in her life, stating, "There was a dark period of my life when I often met with you.

    What I realized after going through that time is I still live without any plans. I made a lot of plans when I was a member of a girl group, but I did not fulfill the goals I set."

    She continued, "Every time that happened, I felt like a loser in my life. It made me think about how my life wasn't going the way I intended. I'm a failure. That's why it was hard. It was like my life failed."

    Ji Eun then shared her life turned around when she met her current boyfriend, YouTuber Park Wi. She expressed, "But when I saw [Park Wi], his self-esteem was really high. The moment I saw him was the time I was most certain in my life. It made me think I can help him do what he can't do. I thought life would be more fun if we help each other when we need help and live life together."

    Park Wi added, "I'm blessed and grateful to have met a woman who thinks like this."

    Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

    With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.
