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.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
