aww, she is really pretty. she reminds me of luna a bit. i'm glad she had a good experience (hopefully not sugarcoating it too much) and that she realized being an idol isn't for her before she got in too deep.

She is cute. But I agree with her, can't diet. I need to watch this. I mean I can't diet as well, lol.

It's good she realized early on that idol life wasn't for her.
I personally would hate to be an idol. I'd hate to go on extreme diets and be constantly sleep-deprived and underpaid. Plus, I'd be f*cking scared of netizens.

She seems happy w/ her decision, and that's all that matters.

I dont watch this show so Im confused if she is Filipino or a Korean living in the Philippines because she mentioned she is going back to PH now

I totally respect her decision. Sometimes you have to dip your toes to see if something is right, but the hard part is actually admitting that it is OK to quit. I think society puts a lot of shame on "quitters".

I went through the same thing when I left the teaching profession after 3 years in the classroom. I knew I wanted out after the first semester but I stuck with it because I paid so much money for my degree and I did not want to be labeled a quitter. Some of my friends were like "but you are making a difference, they need people like you!" or "you should think about the kids!" but my mental health took such a beat down in that profession. I have always wanted to be a teacher since high school and quitting was the hardest thing ever because I was opening myself up to the unknown. Giving up on my childhood dream was worse than any break up I had with a guy, but just like any break up, you understood its for the best and you move on and find yourself again.

Her youtube description says she's a "Korean living in the Philippines"

This so much. I quit being a doctor after 4 months feeling shit and 2 mths going missing in work (not the best course of action but unstable minds work weirdly) and i felt so. fucking. free?? But fast forward 2 years and i reapplied bc doing associated work made me realise that only interning period is shitty af and its effin hard to get a job using my degree, so im better off booking the hell out of gov service once i have official documentations. The part where i have to explain things to every.fucking.one was harder tbh.

Tldr telling yourself you matter is the hardest thing in the world when its unconventional to the rest.

I hope you're in a better place, happier and content and ready to fight through life!

she's very cute and pretty, sad she doesn't believe that cause of that stupid show :| but it's nice she got this experience to know for sure that it wasn't for her, i was the same way with animation in art school xD

She is cute and she doesn't need to diet, because she already looks superthin! xd

The experience she had, doesn't really surprise me. I've a lot of friends, who work in the entertainment/idol industry (in Japan not Korea, though) and my aunt is a make-up artists in Japan and Korea and has worked with many idols before and all of them say the same thing: Being in the entertainment industry/being an idol is FREAKING hard and you almost get nothing in return, sometimes not even a salary, because you'll only get money, if your group hits it big. Being famous looks glamourous in front of the camera, but that's it.
Makes me glad that I decided on studying, even though I had the opportunity to join a - now - pretty famous gg in Japan.

Oh yes I can understand why she can't diet. I've been motivated by several kpop diet articles but in the end I just admit that I love sugar.
(Still feeling guilty because I'm afraid I'll get diabetes)
