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.

ChoA, former member of the girl group Crayon Pop, has bravely shared her ongoing battle with cervical cancer and her emotional journey.

On January 28, ChoA posted a heartfelt update on her social media, explaining her struggles. "I usually laugh, talk, and live my life as usual, but there are moments when I suddenly face a reality that isn’t like before, and it gets tough," she shared.

She went on to say, "Recently, something difficult happened, and in the past, I would have had a drink with my husband to shake it off. I really miss being able to do that."

ChoA admitted that she still can’t fully believe her diagnosis. "When I face the reality I’ve been avoiding, my heart that I’ve built up breaks down," she said. "But the life I’m living now, which I’m still enjoying, is something that someone else might be wishing for. I try to gather my thoughts again with gratitude."

She also expressed hope for the future, saying, "Lately, I dream of a day five years from now when I’ll be declared cancer-free and be able to have a drink with my husband after putting the kids to bed, after all the struggles. It’s been almost two years, so I believe the day I get that clean bill of health will come soon."

ChoA married a businessman in 2021, six years older than her. In October 2023, she revealed her cervical cancer diagnosis, sharing that she had been diagnosed during a routine check-up in her first year of marriage.

Despite everything, ChoA remains hopeful, noting that the cancer was smaller than expected during surgery, and she was able to preserve her fertility—a step closer to her dream of becoming a mother.
