KISS OF LIFE's Natty recently shared that she developed insecurities about her appearance after her time on the show "SIXTEEN."

In a video titled "My Black Swan, I Fell for You at First Sight" uploaded on August 30th to the YouTube channel "Not Much Prepared," Natty appeared as a guest. Born in 2002, Natty and host Lee Youngji, who are the same age, had a fun and friendly conversation throughout the episode.

During their chat, Natty reflected on her first survival show experience, "SIXTEEN," which she joined at just 12 years old. She said, "I didn’t know much Korean back then, but I was excited to perform and follow instructions."

However, Natty then surprised Lee Youngji by revealing, "After the show ended, I developed a complex about my appearance."

She explained that people left negative comments about how she looked, and since she didn’t understand Korean at the time, she asked the staff what the comments meant, only to find out they were hurtful.

"I realized they were saying bad things, and it really hurt me. I was young, so it became a complex," Natty shared.

Lee Youngji responded by opening up about her own experience with hate comments during "High School Rapper," and the two bonded over their shared experiences, comforting each other.

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.
