It was senior singer Lee Hyo-ri who stayed by AOA Jimin’s side and helped her overcome the hard time

Former AOA member Jimin revealed her special relationship with Lee Hyo-ri on the stage of “Second World”.

According to OSEN’s article on September 15th, singer Jimin, a former member of girl group AOA, will present a special stage on JTBC’s program “Second World” with Lee Hyo-ri’s representative song “U-Go-Girl”.

There is a special reason and meaning behind Jimin’s choice of Lee Hyo-ri’s song “U-Go-Girl”. It is because Lee Hyo-ri was the first person to reach out to Jimin when she had a hard time.

In July 2020, Jimin left her group and retired from the entertainment industry after being exposed as the perpetrator in AOA’s bullying controversy. However, public opinion was later reversed and Jimin made an Instagram post suggesting her comeback on her birthday (January 8th). 

Jimin, who had been reporting her whereabouts through SNS, signed an exclusive contract with Alo Malo Entertainment on July 14th and confidently announced her new start. Also, she made her first step through JTBC’s program “Second World”. “All-rounder artist” Jimin, who can do everything, including sing, rap and produce songs, made a successful return to the music industry through “Second World” and has been receiving favorable reviews for every stage.

It was recently revealed that Lee Hyo-ri contacted Jimin first through SNS DM (direct message) when she was suffering a hard time. Although Lee Hyo-ri had no relationship with Jimin before then, she is known to have reached out to Jimin as a senior girl group member after hearing the sad story of her junior. It was said that Jimin even went to Jeju Island and regained her courage after living with Lee Hyo-ri for a long period of time.

Jimin, who gained support and strength from Lee Hyo-ri, has successfully come back to the entertainment industry and will perform “U-Go-Girl” to express her gratitude to Lee Hyo-ri. With this special meaning, it is expected to be a very touching stage.
