Actress Seol In Ah, who is often called a "fitness genius," showed a different side during a recent running challenge.

In the October 2nd episode of tvN's Iron Girl Squad, Seol In Ah, along with Jin Seo Yeon, Yui, and Park Joo Hyun, trained hard on Jeju Island for an upcoming 10km marathon. Team leader Kim Dong Hyun shared, “In 10 days, we will be running our first marathon. It’s a 10km race for triathletes. I’ve done this a few times, and the way you prepare changes if there’s a competition or not. Just finishing gets you a medal.”

Seol In Ah, however, wasn’t too excited about the challenge. She confessed, “I hate running the most. I really dislike cardio,” looking worried during the training session. “I’ll definitely be in last place. I can’t run,” she added, showing her concern.

Things got even tougher when a typhoon warning was issued for Jeju Island. As the race began, Seol In Ah struggled against the strong wind, falling behind and recording a pace of 7 minutes and 5 seconds at the 1km mark.

“It’s so hard! It’s really hard!” she exclaimed while running, and soon felt a painful side stitch. Despite her struggles, she pushed through and adjusted her pace, ultimately completing the 5km run in 36 minutes and 15 seconds, improving her time by 51 seconds.

After the race, Seol In Ah reflected on her experience, admitting, “It was tough, but I’m proud I finished. I still don’t love cardio, but I know I can improve!” Her determination to keep going shows her fighting spirit, even when faced with challenges.

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.
