Rowoon, previously known as a member of the K-pop group SF9, has openly shared his thoughts on his decision to leave the group and pursue acting.

A video was uploaded on the YouTube channel 'Jo Hyun-ah's Thursday Night' on April 25th, titled 'The Perfect Rom-Com Lead, The Ideal Young Master, The Man of My Dreams Kim Seok Wool, I Wish I Had Given Birth to Him'.

Rowoon, who first stepped into the limelight as a member of SF9 in 2015, made the decision to leave the group last year and focus on his acting career.

He revealed, "I was confident about my decision. I had been grappling with my own concerns for a long time. I was aware that there would be risks involved."

He further added, "But we only live once. I have to shoulder these risks, and I need to work even harder to prove myself."

Rowoon also shared his passion for acting, saying, "I was captivated by it from my very first project." He fondly recalled his favorite work, 'Extraordinary You', saying, "It was my first time playing a lead role. Kim Hye Yoon, Lee Jae Wook, Kim Young Dae, Jung Gun Joo and I were all new to the scene, and the show was a fantasy genre, so we really put our heads together to prepare for it. We would meet up at a cafe, read through the script, and even grab a beer afterwards."

He concluded by saying, "When you're comfortable with your co-workers, it doesn't feel like a big deal. This is a mindset I never want to lose."

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.
