• CNBLUE's Jung Yong Hwa Calls His First Hawaii Vacation a Reward for His Hard Work

    CNBLUE member Jung Yong Hwa recently shared his love for Hawaii during his special DJ stint on MBC FM4U’s 'Hope Song at Noon with Kim Shin Young' on August 14.

    Jung Yong Hwa, who filled in for Kim Shin Young, joked about his debut on the show, saying, "Even though it's my first time on 'Hope Song,' it feels like I’ve been here before. It always seems like that. I’ve really gone all out for this appearance, including the live broadcast and cameras. It’s almost like a variety show! They told me my appearance caused a lot of messages to come in," he said with a smile.

    During the show, he talked about his recent vacation to Hawaii. When a listener mentioned that Hawaii was their honeymoon spot and praised its beautiful sky, Jung Yong Hwa responded, "Hawaii is amazing. It was the first time I really went on vacation, and it felt like a reward for all my hard work. If you get a chance to go, I definitely recommend it. I can suggest some great restaurants there too."

    Jung Yong Hwa also shared a fun tidbit about his impersonation skills, saying, "I didn’t really practice impersonations. I used to mimic my teachers in school to quiet the noisy kids, and it turned out to be a useful skill in my entertainment career.” This confession brought some laughs and added a personal touch to his appearance on the show.

  • 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.
