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.

On the February 26 episode of Channel A’s Men’s Life These Days: Groom Class, the show gave viewers an update on Shim Hyung Tak and his wife Saya after they welcomed their baby boy.

During the show, Lee Seung Chul couldn’t help but notice how exhausted Shim looked from parenting duties.

Shim explained, “I was up with the baby until 6:30 AM today. I take care of him from 11 PM to 7 AM while my wife sleeps. Then, when she wakes up, I sleep, and we take turns raising him together.”

Shim also opened up about his wife’s tough labor experience. He shared, “She was in labor for 12 hours. A nurse even told me, ‘The mother was incredible. She endured the pain without even groaning.’” He expressed how grateful he was to his wife for her strength.

As the couple moved into a postpartum care center, they finally revealed their baby’s face for the first time. The cast members were in awe, exclaiming, “He’s so beautiful!”

Moon Se Yoon couldn’t hold back his reaction and joked, “He looks exactly like his mom and dad. Did he get a nose job before he was born?”

Shim Jin Hwa then made a surprising comment, saying, “I think he looks more like BTS’s Jungkook than his dad.” To this, Shim Hyung Tak laughed and replied, “I hope so.” Moon Se Yoon added, “He’s definitely going to be more handsome than you.”
