(G)I-DLE members Miyeon and Minnie shared some fun memories from their early days.

On July 13, Miyeon and Minnie appeared on the web variety show "My Ahjussi Kkon Dae Hee " to talk about their journey to debut.

Miyeon said, "A friend told me Cube was looking for a Korean singer, so I auditioned and debuted." Minnie added, "I was at a music academy in Thailand when Cube staff came to hold auditions."

The two revealed that (G)I-DLE almost debuted under a different name. Minnie said, "One name idea was ‘Anycolor.’" Miyeon added, "We had to choose a favorite color and an animal for our stage names."

Miyeon shared, "I liked green, so I was ‘Green Crocodile.’" Minnie said, "I liked pink and Minnie Mouse, so I was ‘Pink Mouse.’” Their stories made everyone laugh.

They also mentioned that Soyeon, Shuhua, and Yuqi picked the names "Yellow Fish," "White Butterfly," and "Blue Sky."

(G)I-DLE recently released their new mini album ‘I SWAY’ on July 8 and are promoting the title track "Klaxon."

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.
