Hong Jin Kyung appeared as a guest, and in the footage, Jin was seen cooking New Year's food with her in her kitchen. Dressed in a traditional hanbok, Jin joined in on conversations, games, and fun activities with Hong Jin Kyung.

But the real talk of the town is a story Hong Jin Kyung shared before on her YouTube channel. She revealed that when her daughter Rael’s favorite celebrity came to visit their home, she didn’t tell Rael, and it led to a huge fight.

During a gathering with the production crew, Hong Jin Kyung opened up, saying, “There was a big commotion yesterday. I had a huge fight with Rael. She was crying, yelling, and shouting.”

She went on to explain that she kept the visit a secret because she was worried Rael would overreact. She added, “That celebrity’s poster was in our house, and while signing it, he said, ‘Rael, your oppa came to visit. Please forgive your mom’”.

Rael, who found out about the surprise visit only after returning home, was heartbroken. Hong Jin Kyung recalled hearing a loud scream from upstairs and said, “Rael didn’t eat or come out until today”. She also commented, “He’s really cute”, referring to the celebrity.

This shocking story made netizens wonder if Rael’s favorite celebrity was BTS’s Jin.

Hong Jin Kyung even liked some of these comments.

Fans are clearly feeling for Rael, and we can’t blame them – who wouldn’t want to meet Jin?!

Ahn Yujin of IVE shared some heartfelt memories from her Produce48 days, revealing the shocking reality of the harsh comments she faced.

On January 15th, Ahn Yujin and Jang Wonyoung appeared as guests on tvN’s You Quiz on the Block, where they caught up and shared some personal stories.

Ahn Yujin opened up about her time on the survival show, saying, "What I still remember is that Produce48 was my first real trial. I thought I was really loved and that people liked me, but when I went on that program, I was shocked to realize that there are people in this world who dislike me".

She continued, "In our daily lives, there aren't many people who directly tell us, 'I hate you.' It took time for me to accept that some people don’t like me, even though I didn’t do anything wrong."

Ahn Yujin also explained the pressure she felt during the competition, revealing, "Every week, the rankings were decided, and we had to line up in order. I started to feel trapped in that (internet) world."

She added, "Sometimes I wouldn’t get support, and there would be people who hated me. It was a situation where my evaluation could be viewed 24/7. Thinking, 'How do others see me?' created fear."

Jang Wonyoung added, "For me, it can be summed up in one sentence: I did it because I was young and didn’t know better."

When talking about her recent world tour, Ahn Yujin shared, "I tend to get nervous, especially when it's a stage I really want to do well on. I get even more nervous."

But she also shared how she calms herself, saying, "What I always think is that all these people like me. Then it's so easy. With that mindset, I think 'Everyone here? They're all mine!' and it makes me excited and happy", she laughed.

Finally, Ahn Yujin expressed her goals for 2025, saying, "I hope to stay healthy. I want to work hard on my schedule and take good care of myself, and I hope everyone has a healthy 2025. That's my wish."

Ahn Yujin’s honest reflections remind fans of the tough journey idols face behind the scenes.
