Girl group BBGIRLS mentioned their former member Yujeong's departure.

BBGIRLS (Minyoung, Eunji, Yuna) recently held a roundtable interview at a café in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam, Seoul, to commemorate the release of their second single LOVE 2.

Last April, BBGIRLS parted ways with Warner Music Korea and established a new agency, BBGIRLS Company, before reorganizing into a three-member group.

This was when Yujeong announced her departure. Although the exact reasons for her departure were not disclosed, BBGIRLS' side expressed, "We decided to respect Yujeong's decision. We sincerely thank Yujeong for her dedicated efforts as a BBGIRLS member for a long time, and we will continue to support her without change."

Regarding this, Minyoung shared, "I wondered, 'Can I speak honestly, just as it is?' We were careful about how to communicate because we no longer have the previous member. We debuted late and started our activities, and being in our 30s, we also had many thoughts about life, especially after 'Rollin'. Ultimately, the opinion of the former member was the most important, so we decided to respect that after many discussions, which led to the final three of us remaining. Not everything goes the way we want. I’m sure the other members and that friend also feel the same. Of course, it’s disappointing, but we chose to respect her decision and finish things on a positive note, supporting her, and prepared for this album."

Minyoung also recalled the moment Yujeong expressed her intention to leave. "I wasn’t surprised," Minyoung said. "We had shared many things before, so we kind of felt it coming. As a leader, I was most upset because I wished she would’ve stayed with us a bit longer. It wasn’t so much a surprise as it was upsetting. I had the most conversations with the former member, and while it was regretful as a team, as a person, I had no choice but to understand. But I did express my disappointment and hurt feelings."

BBGIRLS' second single LOVE 2 will be released on the afternoon of the 15th through various online music platforms.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
