Ex-fromis_9 member Roh Ji-sun shares long reflection after revealing hardship that led to card loans: "My 15-year story, first and last time... I wanted to leave it in my own voice"

Roh Ji-sun, a former member of fromis_9, revealed the financial hardship she went through after her group activities ended, including taking out card loans, and then posted a long message looking back on her 15 years as an idol. On the 11th, Roh posted a thumbnail of her appearance on the YouTube channel "Min Sae-rom's Open Studio" on her personal account, along with a message titled "A few more words." "I tried to fit 15 years, from age 14 to 29, into a little over 20 minutes. It wasn't enough time to tell every story, and I couldn't tell everything," she wrote. "There were moments when I was an adult and moments when I wasn't, and there were people I'm grateful to and things that were hard to understand." She said her thoughts about her appearance also changed through her idol career. "I learned that wanting to be beautiful because I like it and having to exist in a way that looks good to someone else are different things, and it took me a long time to understand that difference," she wrote, adding that she came to rethink things she had taken for granted and is still finding her own answers. "This will probably be the first and last time I talk about the past at such length. I didn't mean to persuade anyone or to settle accounts with the time that has passed," she continued. "It's just that my story grew long, and I wanted to leave it once in my own voice."
