Choreographer GABEE recently opened up about her appearance on K-Pop Star Season 1, surprising many fans.

On November 19, GABEE made the revelation during her appearance on the web variety show Salon Drip 2, which aired on the YouTube channel "Teo."

In the episode, GABEE shared that she participated in K-Pop Star Season 1, a show that launched the careers of artists like Park Ji Man, Lee Hi, and Baek A Yeon.

She admitted that although she didn’t make it far on the show, she was upset about the lack of screen time she got. GABEE confessed, "I got cut very early, so I don’t really talk about it, but I actually made it pretty far."

Looking back, GABEE recalled how, as a high school student, she once stood outside YG Entertainment with a CD of her dance video, hoping to get it into the hands of Yang Hyun Suk, the founder of YG.

In another interesting reveal, GABEE, who is a graduate of Hanlim Arts High School, shared that she was classmates with popular stars like P.O and Song Min Ho.

She reminisced about the unique personalities of her classmates, saying, "I knew about them, and they had such strong personalities."

Additionally, GABEE talked about another classmate, SHINee's Taemin, and mentioned, "A lot of people were shocked to learn that Taemin and I are the same age," referencing a meme that became popular among fans.

In a light-hearted moment, MC Jang Do Yeon was asked by GABEE who she thought was her age. Jang jokingly replied, "I look like Taemin's second sister," making everyone laugh.

GABEE’s appearance on K-Pop Star and her fun anecdotes about her classmates definitely gave fans a new perspective on the choreographer's early days in the entertainment industry!

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.
