Oh My Girl's Yubin has shared a tough memory of receiving harsh comments about her appearance as a child.
On the August 24 episode of JTBC’s 'Knowing Bros', the girl group Oh My Girl, back with their new song "Classified," visited the show.
During the episode, Yubin revealed a painful experience from her past. She said, “One of the saddest things I've ever heard was when someone told me, ‘You don’t have the looks to be a singer, just quit.’”
Yubin continued, “When I was in elementary school, I went to an acting academy. I traveled to Seoul alone. That day, my parents dropped me off at the bus terminal. "
She added, "An uncle passing by asked, 'Where are you going, elementary school student?' When I told him I was going to the acting academy, he said, 'You don’t look like you have the talent for singing. Don’t make your parents suffer and just quit.'”
The Oh My Girl members were upset by the story, with comments like, “Bring him here” and “Take care of yourself.”
Seo Jang Hoon also comforted Yubin, saying, “There are many people who meddle for no reason.”
Yubin added, “I don’t usually let such things bother me. But my parents were right there, and it upset me that they had to hear that. I told them, ‘Mom, wait a little longer. I’ll make you proud.’ Hearing such comments actually motivates me to prove them wrong, and I take pride in my strong mentality.”
