Model Lee Hyun Yi shared a funny episode.

She revealed that she was rejected for the first time in 'The King of Mask Singer'.

Lee Hyun Yi appeared as a guest on the recently aired MBC 'Radio Star'.

MC Yoo Se Yoon asked Lee Hyun Yi "Have you ever been refused to appear on an entertainment program?" Lee Hyun Yi said, "I was invited to appear in 'The King of Mask Singer'. I first turned down the casting because of lack of singing skills, but she said, 'No matter who comes, the vocal teacher will teach you,' so I decided to appear."

Lee Hyun Yi, who started vocal lessons like that, said, "I need to know my skills, so they told me to sing a song I usually sing. So I sang Ivy's 'Touch Me'," she said, performing the song himself.

She made a mechanical sound, saying, “Touch, the. the. Ahn Young Mi was bewildered, saying, "I thought she was typing Morse code."

Lee Hyun Yi said, "The vocal teacher asked me to change the song because it was impossible to judge. This time I sang Kan Mi Yeon's 'Paparazzi'. He suggested other songs because these songs didn't suit me. There were rhyming songs such as IU's 'Night Letter'. I practiced a new song.”

However, Lee Hyun Yi, who was frustrated with her singing skills, said, "One day, the vocal teacher said that I couldn't contact him. She had a hard time contacting me and she said, 'I want to take a break. That's why they said I was the first person to give up on 'King of Mask Singer," she said, making everyone laugh.

Former AOA member Kwon Mina has shared a deeply emotional and heartbreaking update with her fans.

On January 20, Kwon Mina took to Instagram to reveal some difficult news. "I have some upsetting and heartbreaking news to share", she wrote, explaining that her dog, Mochi, had been diagnosed with malignant cancer.

She shared that a lump had been growing on her dog’s leg for years, and despite undergoing several surgeries, it kept coming back. Sadly, the latest diagnosis confirmed it was cancerous.

Kwon Mina’s post continued, "The pain is expected to get worse, and the doctor told me to prepare myself to say goodbye to Mochi, as she will suffer a lot."

She added, "Today, I can’t stop crying, and my heart feels like it’s breaking. I’m looking into options like anesthesia, euthanasia, and funeral arrangements so that she can pass without pain."

She reached out to her followers for advice, asking, "If anyone knows a better solution, please let me know."

Kwon Mina debuted in 2012 as a member of the popular girl group AOA. The group achieved great success with hits like "Heart Attack," "Bingle Bangle," "Like a Cat," and "Miniskirt".

However, in 2020, Kwon Mina opened up about being bullied by her AOA members, leading to the group’s eventual disbandment.

In a more positive update, Kwon Mina also announced on January 15 that she has started a new chapter in her career.

She will be working as a consultant at a dermatology clinic near Sicheong Station, which is set to open in March, signaling her fresh start after a difficult year.

Fans have rallied around Kwon Mina with messages of support as she navigates this emotional time.
