Choi Yoo-jung discusses concerns about entertainment work

Choi Yoo-jung will speak about her concerns over entertainment work on an SBS Plus entertainment program airing on the 13th at 10:30 p.m. Kwon Hyuk-soo and Choi appear on the program to discuss the theme of warding off misfortune.

Choi recalls a dorm fire from her time promoting with Weki Meki. She says, 'After debuting again as the team Weki Meki, a fire broke out at the dorm ahead of activities for our second album. I was sleeping in the living room, opened my eyes, and the inside of the house was red. The company was in the building right next door, so I went to the practice room and looked in the mirror.'

Choi says she was wearing full-body teddy bear pajamas at the time. She adds, 'I had the hood on, and it had caught fire, leaving a hole through the teddy bear face part. But none of my hair was burned.'

Choi also mentions a difficult period before appearing on an audition program. She says, 'I came from an audition program. Right before going on that program, I was struggling so much mentally that I felt like I might fall apart. At the time, I thought of it as my last chance and found the courage to go on the program, but I ended up debuting. I also think about whether, at that very painful age of seventeen, I had warded off misfortune then.'

Choi asks whether entertainment work fits her. She says her tendencies and personality seem far from the job of being an entertainer, adding, 'I was not mentally strong. I wonder whether this work really fits me, whether it is okay for me to stay in entertainment, and whether there is a calling that suits me.'

One shaman tells Choi, 'If being an entertainer had not fit you, you would already have given up. You would not have come this far. As you get older, the time when you can enjoy it will gradually increase.' Another shaman comforts her by saying she cannot help having a fragile mentality because she has been hurt a lot by people, and that from this year people who help her will come in. After hearing the comments, Choi shows tears.
