• "Is She Really a Beginner Driver?" IVE's Ahn Yujin Becomes a Top Driver After 150km on 'Beep Beep'

    IVE's Ahn Yujin, the 'MZ Wannabe Icon,' has proven herself as the best driver on 'Jirakyi's Beep Beep.'

    In the final episode of the tvN variety show 'Jirakyi's Beep Beep,' aired on the 21st, Ahn Yujin completed her journey to becoming an amazing driver.

    During the episode, Ahn Yujin warmed up by dancing before a sudden music quiz began during dinner. The quiz had a penalty for the loser, who had to complete a mission set by the production team the next day.

    This sparked Ahn Yujin's competitive side. She showed her wide music knowledge by performing cover dances of songs from various idol generations, including Sechs Kies's 'Pomsaeng Pomsa,' Red Velvet's 'Umpah Umpah,' and BSS's 'Fighting.'

    She even cutely complained to the production team, saying, "It's supposed to be a place for harmony and fun, but no one is clapping."

    Ahn Yujin took the wheel again the next morning. She had driven a total of 150km from the first day to the last, and her members praised her, saying, "We're used to Yujin driving now," and "It's so smooth."

    Unlike her nervousness on the first day, she showed her growth as a top driver by confidently giving way to oncoming traffic on narrow roads.

    After completing the last drive between a brunch cafe and their accommodation, Ahn Yujin remarked, "When I hear 'HEYA,' I’ll think of Gapyeong. If I think of Gapyeong while performing on music shows, I might cry," expressing her sadness at the trip's end.

    Ahn Yujin wrapped up the trip with her members by doing the 'HEYA' challenge. Carried by Lee Youngji, she grabbed everyone's attention with her lively introduction and led the group in a playful dance battle with Lee Youngji and Mimi.

    She completed the challenge perfectly, even casually involving PD Na Youngseok, and wrapped up all the filming for 'Beep Beep.'

    Meanwhile, IVE, the group Ahn Yujin belongs to, is currently meeting global fans through their first world tour, 'SHOW WHAT I HAVE' (IVE THE 1ST WORLD TOUR 'SHOW WHAT I HAVE').

  • Kwon Min Ah worries fans with emotional post about fear and self-blame: “Everything feels scary, I need to get it together”

    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.
