• Seol In Ah Opens Up About Her Struggles with Insomnia: "I've Been Taking Sleeping Pills for 5 Years"

    Actress Seol In Ah recently shared her personal battle with insomnia.

    On the first episode of tvN's "The Iron Squad of Girls", which aired on September 7, Seol In Ah sat down with fellow actresses Jin Seo Yeon, Uee, and Park Ju Hyun as they prepared for a tough triathlon challenge.

    During the episode, Jin Seo Yeon asked Seol In Ah why she chose to take part in the challenge. Seol paused before revealing, "Honestly, I can't sleep. I've been taking sleeping pills for about five years."

    She went on to explain, "It really frustrated me. I kept asking myself, 'Why do I need pills just to sleep?' I even thought, 'Am I not tired enough?' So I pushed myself harder, trying to stay busy. That's how I got this image of living a 'perfect life.'"

    Seol added, "In reality, I was just moving more, hoping it would help me sleep better. Even though people see me as healthy, I’ve never truly been healthy. I want to use this challenge to get better."

    She also shared how it affected her work: "When I take sleeping pills, it's hard to focus on filming. Last year, I tried to stop taking them, but after not sleeping for 3–4 days, my immune system broke down. I ended up at the hospital and now take 24 medications a day. I really want to get healthy again."

    The Iron Squad of Girls follows Jin Seo Yeon, Uee, Seol In Ah, and Park Ju Hyun as they take on the extreme triathlon. The show airs every Saturday at 5:50 p.m. on tvN.

  • BTS' Jin visits Andong to help wildfire victims, serves meals at Baek Jong Won’s relief center

    BTS member Jin has touched hearts once again with his kind gesture to support those affected by wildfires.

    On April 3, Jin visited Gilan Middle School in Gilan-myeon, Andong, to serve meals to disaster victims and firefighters. His actions brought much-needed comfort to the people in the area.

    Gilan Middle School is where celebrity chef Baek Jong Won, a close friend of Jin, has been running a free meal service through his company, The Born Korea.

    Since March 28, The Born Korea has been providing meals for the wildfire victims, preparing 300 to 700 servings each time to ensure that the affected people and firefighters receive warm food.

    Jin quietly made his way to Andong, a region that suffered extensive damage from the wildfire, to lend a helping hand.

    Big Hit Music, Jin’s agency, shared, “Jin wanted to provide even a small amount of help to those affected by the wildfires, which is why he decided to participate in this volunteer activity.”

    This heartwarming gesture follows BTS's large donations for wildfire recovery efforts. Jungkook donated a whopping 1 billion KRW, while V gave 200 million KRW, and RM, J-Hope, and Suga each contributed 100 million KRW to aid in the recovery.
