Jo In Sung is starting a new chapter — and he’s doing it with one of his closest friends!

On April 18, actor Jo In Sung revealed some heartwarming news. He and his longtime friend Cha Tae Hyun have officially launched a brand new agency called Basecamp Company.

The two stars, who have known each other for over 20 years, said they built the company on strong friendship and trust. Jo In Sung first started his career back in 1998 as a model for ZIOZIA, while Cha Tae Hyun has also been in the entertainment world for decades.

The name Basecamp Company has a meaningful message. Just like a basecamp is where you start before climbing a mountain, this company hopes to become a safe and strong place for artists to grow and take on new challenges.

What makes this company even more special is the team behind it. Most of the staff have worked with Jo In Sung and Cha Tae Hyun since their early days, some for as long as 7 to 8 years. It’s rare to see this kind of loyalty in the entertainment world, and many are praising the two actors for their humble and sincere personalities.

Jo In Sung and Cha Tae Hyun shared that they don’t want to make a big fuss about things. They simply want to keep acting and give back to fans by choosing good projects, just like they’ve always done.

Fans are now cheering them on as they begin this exciting new journey with Basecamp Company. People are also curious about the kind of artists and content they’ll be supporting in the future.

Meanwhile, Cha Tae Hyun is currently appearing on the variety show Handsome Guys, and Jo In Sung just wrapped up filming for two movies — Hope and Humint.

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.
