  • Ahn So-hee Says She Misses the Stage but Will Focus on Acting
    Ahn So-hee Says She Misses the Stage but Will Focus on Acting Wonder Girls member Ahn So-hee has shared her plans for future work. A video titled “Actor Ahn So-hee” was posted on March 26 to the YouTube channel “Insaeng84.” Ahn said she recently appeared in the play “Geuttaedo Oneul 2,” which ended last month. She said the two-person production was physically demanding, and that she played four roles, calling it a work that required significant energy both physically and emotionally. When Kian84 asked whether she would sing again, Ahn said she has shifted her focus to acting only. She said she does not regret the decision or feel disappointed, but added that she misses it. She said she used to enjoy being onstage for concerts. Ahn said the energy she receives as a singer is different from what she gets in theater, describing theater as quieter and more intensely focused. She said she misses the stage, but that theater has filled much of that, adding that she started doing plays the year before last and has continued without a break.* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-03-27 09:36:15
  • Singer Lee Ji-hye Says Daughter Moved to Public Kindergarten After English Preschool Closed
    Singer Lee Ji-hye Says Daughter Moved to Public Kindergarten After English Preschool Closed Singer and TV personality Lee Ji-hye said her younger daughter transferred from an English-language preschool to a public kindergarten after the preschool announced it was shutting down. A video titled “Why Lee Ji-hye’s daughter transferred to a public kindergarten after giving up English preschool? (Early English education)” was posted on March 26 to her YouTube channel, “밉지않은 관종언니.” Lee said she received a notice from the English preschool attended by her second daughter, Ellie, saying the school would close. “Tae-ri (my first daughter) graduated from there, and Ellie naturally went there too, so when I heard it was going away, I panicked,” she said. Lee said the English preschool assigned homework such as reading vocabulary words. She said Tae-ri followed instructions without much difficulty, but Ellie “absolutely didn’t want to do it.” Lee added that she decided it was not the right age to force her to do things she disliked, and began looking into public kindergartens. After Ellie moved to a public kindergarten, Lee said she was pleased with the change. “After switching kindergartens, Ellie started washing her hands on her own, eating on her own, and even learned to greet people,” she said.* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-03-27 08:57:22

If any students are seeing this, study while you’re even a year younger,” she wrote. She added, “Does the brain age, too? I can’t memorize anything. This is driving me crazy.” Asked by a fan what test she was taking, Park replied, “An insurance exam.” When another fan asked whether she was getting the license to film life and property insurance commercials, she responded, “Correct.” Under current rules, an advertising model must hold an insurance planner’s qualification to directly explain detailed information about insurance products in a video.

She said that when doctors opened her up for surgery, they found it had spread to the lymph nodes. “If it spreads, chemotherapy is essential, so I had radiation treatment 16 times, and I’m currently on medication,” she said.* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-03-25 09:30:05
