YeoJin, who recently won a major lawsuit against her former agency, will release a new winter-themed song on November 11 to coincide with her birthday. Now active under Make You Mind Works, the singer also shared personal details regarding her past weight and current life with her pets.

YeoJin, formerly of the group Loona, has shared updates on her preparations for a solo career along with plans for new musical activities. In a video recently released through the YouTube channel New Minsang, she spoke candidly about the changes she has faced from her past activities to her current path and future steps.

"Standing alone after winning lawsuit"... New song to be released for November 11 birthday

YeoJin spoke calmly about the recent changes in her life. Regarding her past conflict with her former agency, she mentioned, "We had a major lawsuit and we won," suggesting that she is now active in a new environment. Having moved past those difficult times, she is continuing her solo activities under a new company, Make You Mind Works. She noted that she is currently working alone and commented on the changes in the agency's membership.

The most notable part of her update is her future musical plans. YeoJin announced that a new song is scheduled to be released to coincide with her birthday on November 11. She teased that the new song will have a "winter feel," differing from her previous bright style, raising expectations among fans. This holds significance as it marks her first major musical activity since starting her solo career.

Confession of 33kg underweight and life as an idol

In the video, YeoJin continued with honest stories regarding her physical characteristics. Mentioning that she is known to be the shortest among her idol peers, she shared an anecdote that her height, which was 148cm at debut, was recently measured at 151cm (156cm including shoes). In particular, she revealed a very thin physique, reaching a weight of 33kg, and confessed to experiencing extreme underweight conditions in the past when her waist size was around 19 inches. She added that her small chest makes her frame appear even smaller.

She also offered realistic comments regarding life as a celebrity. Contrary to the glamorous image perceived by the public, she spoke candidly about concerns regarding finances and privacy. "Some people say that because celebrities earn a lot of money, they shouldn't have a private life, but since I don't earn as much as [Yoo Min-sang], do I have to give up my privacy too?" she asked, expressing realistic hardships. Regarding the exposure of her private life, she showed a flexible attitude with a unique perspective, stating, "I actually let my position be known because I want to play at being a celebrity."

Pet lizard and records of daily life

YeoJin's personal hobbies and daily life, different from her stage persona, were also revealed. She stated that she keeps a lizard at home. Specifically, she is raising a species called a Crested Gecko and added that she has experience hatching eggs herself. She explained that the eggs were kept in a box, and upon checking later, they had hatched. It is reported that she shares her daily life of caring for the lizard along with two dogs, Dubu and Yubu, through a pet Instagram account.

She showed deep affection for her pet reptile by explaining a unique management method using a straw to blow a balloon to help the lizard molt. She mentioned the specific care method where inflating the balloon helps the lizard with its shedding process. These everyday moments show a human side of YeoJin that is different from her image as an idol on stage.
