Roh Ji-sun Reflects on 15 Years in Entertainment After Leaving fromis_9

Former fromis_9 member Roh Ji-sun reflected on her 15 years in the entertainment industry in a social media post on Oct. 11. She shared a thumbnail from her appearance on Min Sae-rom’s YouTube channel and said the interview tried to cover the period from age 14 to 29 in just over 20 minutes. She noted that the conversation could not include every story, including some things she was unable to discuss.

Roh described a mix of experiences across those years, including moments of gratitude and difficulties she found hard to understand. She also spoke about the industry’s effect on her confidence and her relationship with beauty and appearance. In the days before the post, she had revealed that after ending her activities with fromis_9, she borrowed 3 million won through a credit card loan to pay for basic living expenses.

Roh also discussed how the Idol School vote-rigging scandal affected her confidence and explained why she had not talked about it publicly before. Her post offered a look back at both the personal and professional challenges she experienced during her time in the industry.
