Yujeong, former member of BB Girls, has officially made her solo debut, marking a new chapter in her career!

On January 19th, Yujeong appeared on MBC's King of Masked Singer, where she faced off against the reigning champion, "Flower-scented Perfume", in a thrilling second-round match.

However, Yujeong humbly gave credit to all the members, saying, "I don’t think it was just me, but all the members worked hard for it. I have a loud laugh, and when I was in school, I often got scolded by teachers. I think people loved me because my laughter made them smile, so I will keep laughing more in the future."

Yujeong also shared a touching moment from her time with BB Girls, recalling a special fan gift from a soldier. "

"There was a soldier who drew my face exactly the same and gave it to me as a gift. I cried a lot looking at the pencil marks and eraser marks all over the paper. I was so grateful," she said.

Looking ahead, Yujeong is ready for her solo journey, sharing, "I’m preparing a solo album. I’m also challenging myself with various variety shows, MC roles, and acting, so I hope you will continue to watch and support me."
