Actress Gong Hyo Jin, often admired for her fashion sense, recently admitted that she has "given up on fashion".

On August 29, a video titled "Gong Hyo Jin's New Wardrobe That I Just Ended Up Browsing Instead of Organizing" was uploaded on her YouTube channel, "For a While Gong Hyo Jin".

In the video, Gong Hyo Jin gave a peek into her wardrobe and opened up about her changing relationship with fashion. She said, "These days, my related videos are mostly about cooking with dogs or just hands. Honestly, I feel a sense of crisis. I've given up on fashion. My wardrobe has gotten much smaller. Instead of filling it up, I just want to keep emptying it, so I'm always looking for things to throw away."

She continued, "When I'm not working, I wear a lot of stylish clothes, but when I’m off, I end up looking messy and wonder if it's okay to dress like that. Right now, I’m in movie filming mode, so I wear clothes that are easy to put on and take off. I avoid heavy clothes because they tire me out."

She added, "I also don’t carry heavy bags. Even when they were trendy, I didn’t buy them. If I have to carry something uncomfortable during filming, people tell me, ‘Put that down for a bit,’ but I’m the opposite. As soon as they say 'cut,' I immediately put it down. I don’t want to carry it even for a second longer," she laughed.

Gong Hyo Jin also shared some styling advice, admitting, "It’s an old style. I’ve reached the point where I need lessons on trends. I should probably get some tips from NewJeans' stylist. But I was once a fashionista."

She reminisced about her fashion choices in dramas, saying, "The most important thing I focused on was avoiding common trendy items. When a drama becomes popular, certain items become trendy. When I did 'The Producers,' I thought about it a lot. I had been playing poor roles, like a young breadwinner, but this time my character could shop well."

She added, "After some thought, I wore a bustier with high-waisted pants. I even went shopping in New York for two days, bought items, and asked a designer friend to modify them in different colors to create new outfits."

Meanwhile, Gong Hyo Jin's YouTube channel has recently surpassed 40,000 subscribers. She expressed her gratitude, saying, "I think the fans who are subscribed now are the ones who like me no matter what I do. The number of fans who will like whatever I do is probably the number of subscribers on my YouTube channel."

She added, "I started YouTube to connect with those who have supported me all this time. It’s been over 25 years since I debuted, and keeping a mysterious image doesn’t feel fair anymore. But I’m so thankful and surprised that the number has exceeded 40,000. I’m really grateful, and I will continue YouTube for the 40,000 subscribers. I'll keep my word."

ITZY's Yuna opened up about her childhood, her school days, and even the surprising secret behind her perfectly shaped head in a fun and heartwarming video.

On April 30, Yuna appeared in a new video on the YouTube channel "You Nani Bit Ina", where she visited her old middle school. Standing in front of the building, Yuna smiled and said, “This is the middle school I went to when I was younger. Well, it was five years ago, so not that long ago.”

She shared a fun memory, saying, “I came back once after graduating because I kept in touch with one of the teachers. All the teachers came out to greet me, and the students were so excited!”

When asked if she was popular back in school, Yuna gave an honest and funny answer. “I don’t think there were any boys’ schools nearby. "

She added, "And when I was in elementary school, boys liked girls who were quiet, cute, and sweet. But I was loud and outgoing, so I wasn’t their type. Back then, boys didn’t really like girls who were too pretty—they preferred someone more plain and simple.”

Later in the video, while filming at a local snack shop, Yuna got a surprise visit from her mom. Shocked, Yuna asked, “Why did you come without saying anything?”

Her mom sweetly revealed that Yuna had always dreamed of being on TV. Yuna added, “I never thought I’d be an idol. I imagined maybe I’d be a show host, an announcer, or even a pretty comedian.”

When asked when she realized Yuna had grown up, her mom said, “After she debuted, she always asked me for feedback. But eventually, she started making her own choices, and that’s when I knew she had grown up. At first, I was even worried about her hand gestures and facial expressions.”

Yuna chimed in, “My mom used to tell me I was doing too much when she watched my fancams.” Her mom smiled and said, “Isn’t Yuna the prettiest when she’s natural? I think she’s slowly learning that on her own.”

Then came the cutest story of the day—Yuna talked about how her head shape became so perfect. “When I was a baby, my mom would lay me down at different angles to make my head round—like using a protractor.”

Yuna laughed. Her mom looked a bit embarrassed but admitted, “I tried that with my first child too, but I started too late—around two months after birth. With Yuna, I started right away.”

Yuna then proudly pointed to her head and said, “Mom’s touch!” making everyone laugh.

Fans were touched by Yuna’s honest and playful personality, and many praised the sweet bond between her and her mom.
