Actress Han Ji Min, a proud native of Dongjak-gu, had a truly emotional moment on the latest episode of Whenever There’s a Gap! On January 7, Han Ji Min, alongside her My Perfect Secretary co-star Lee Jun Hyuk, appeared on the SBS variety show.

During the episode, the stars took on a mission at the Dongjak-gu Health Center, alongside Yoo Jae Suk and Yoo Yeon Seok. The employees at the health center had submitted a special story request, and the guests were eager to help.

The challenge started with a relay eraser task, which the four of them completed with ease. They breezed through the first two stages and were ready for the final challenge, Stage 3. If they succeeded, a coffee truck would be gifted to the hardworking health center staff. With the pressure on her, Han Ji Min stepped up and completed Stage 3 on her first try, prompting cheers from the cast and crew!

Overcome with emotion, Han Ji Min teared up, feeling the weight of the moment. Yoo Yeon Seok jokingly asked, “Can we hear your acceptance speech?” Han Ji Min smiled, saying, “I’m really glad.” Lee Jun Hyuk, clearly moved, embraced her, saying, “You are the most admirable person I’ve ever seen.”

Yoo Jae Suk couldn’t help but shout out, “To all the residents of Dongjak-gu, Dongjak’s daughter Han Ji Min has done it!” causing everyone to laugh and cheer.

Still teary-eyed, Han Ji Min softly whispered, “I don’t even know why I’m crying. I’m just so relieved and happy.”

Later, while enjoying lunch, Han Ji Min’s spirits were high as she smiled brightly and said, “Today, I feel so happy that I just want to leave work here.” It was a moment filled with joy, pride, and lots of love for her hometown.

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.
