• NMIXX's Haewon Playfully Accused of Bias for Cheering on Sullyoon During ISAC

    NMIXX member Haewon, serving as a new commentator, faced playful accusations of being biased during the "2024 Chuseok Special Idol Star Athletics Championships" (ISAC), turning the broadcast into a hilarious moment.

    On September 16th, during MBC’s airing of ISAC, NMIXX went up against the Center Alliance team in the semifinals of the women's archery competition.

    The Center Alliance team included members like Wooah’s Wooyeon, tripleS’s Yooyeon, ARTMS’s Heejin, and KISS OF LIFE’s Natty.

    Haewon kicked off her commentary by saying, "I think our youngest, Kyujin, might really shine today with all her youthful energy."

    But things got funnier when NMIXX’s Sullyoon and Center Alliance’s Wooyeon stepped up for their first match.

    After Sullyoon scored 8 points with her first shot, Haewon couldn’t hold back her excitement, exclaiming, "Well done!"

    This led Jeon Hyun Moo to tease her, saying, "That’s obviously biased commentary. She even said 'well done!'" The lighthearted moment filled the set with laughter.

  • 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.
