    On August 5th, Ryujin shared a message on her personal channel. She said, "I posted some funny memes to share a laugh, but my intentions were misunderstood," and added, "I want to make it clear that it wasn't meant that way."

    Earlier, Ryujin had posted some funny memes on her channel, including one that said, "We are professionals. We only move when paid."

    Ryujin quickly cleared up the misunderstanding and dismissed the rumors.

    Here is Ryujin's full translation from her personal Instagram account:

    I posted some funny memes to share a laugh, but my intentions were misunderstood.
    I want to make it clear that it wasn't meant that way.

    It's getting very hot these days, so take care of yourselves in the heat, and I'll do my best to show you a great performance at the Hong Kong concert.

    Meanwhile, ITZY, the group Ryujin is part of, will have a solo concert in Hong Kong on the 10th, wrapping up their current world tour.

  • Former Crayon Pop's ChoA Opens Up About Her Struggle with Cervical Cancer: 'I Dream of the Day I Can Have a Drink with My Husband Again'"

    ChoA, former member of the girl group Crayon Pop, has bravely shared her ongoing battle with cervical cancer and her emotional journey.

    On January 28, ChoA posted a heartfelt update on her social media, explaining her struggles. "I usually laugh, talk, and live my life as usual, but there are moments when I suddenly face a reality that isn’t like before, and it gets tough," she shared.

    She went on to say, "Recently, something difficult happened, and in the past, I would have had a drink with my husband to shake it off. I really miss being able to do that."

    ChoA admitted that she still can’t fully believe her diagnosis. "When I face the reality I’ve been avoiding, my heart that I’ve built up breaks down," she said. "But the life I’m living now, which I’m still enjoying, is something that someone else might be wishing for. I try to gather my thoughts again with gratitude."

    She also expressed hope for the future, saying, "Lately, I dream of a day five years from now when I’ll be declared cancer-free and be able to have a drink with my husband after putting the kids to bed, after all the struggles. It’s been almost two years, so I believe the day I get that clean bill of health will come soon."

    ChoA married a businessman in 2021, six years older than her. In October 2023, she revealed her cervical cancer diagnosis, sharing that she had been diagnosed during a routine check-up in her first year of marriage.

    Despite everything, ChoA remains hopeful, noting that the cancer was smaller than expected during surgery, and she was able to preserve her fertility—a step closer to her dream of becoming a mother.
