Former Jewelry member Jo Min Ah opened up about the difficult financial responsibilities she faced in her life.
On July 1, Jo Min Ah appeared on Seo In Young’s YouTube channel “Changed for the Better Seo In Young,” where she shared why she started working as an insurance planner after her divorce.
Jo Min Ah said, “I uploaded my resume on a part time job site, and an insurance company contacted me.”
She then talked about her past hardships, saying, “As In Young knows, I have been paying off debts since I was very young. I paid off my father’s debts for a long time, and after my divorce, I paid off the loan my ex husband took out using my house as collateral. I really lived only by working.”
Seo In Young then asked how many times Jo Min Ah had become an “insurance queen.” Jo Min Ah surprised her by answering, “I did it 22 times. I also ranked No. 1 nationwide.”
Jo Min Ah also joked about her strong sales skills, saying, “People at my company tell me, ‘Even if you sold water purifiers in the desert, you would become the sales queen.’”
After changing careers, Jo Min Ah has reportedly been doing well as an insurance planner while raising her son on her own.
Meanwhile, Jo Min Ah married a fitness center CEO in 2020 and welcomed her son Kang Ho the following year. After going through divorce proceedings, she is now raising her son as a single mother.
