Roh Jisun Discusses Financial Strain Before Leaving Idol Career

Former fromis_9 member Roh Jisun has spoken about facing financial difficulties during her time as an idol. She shared her experience in a YouTube video uploaded on October 11, titled “Avoid Card Loans! Life Advice from a Senior Who Switched Careers from Idol Life.”

Jisun said she was active in the group until she was 28. During that period, she felt unable to depend on financial help from her parents or older brother and began looking into loans as a way to support herself. She explained that applications for loans were not approved because she had no job or income. The video’s title also refers to avoiding card loans, and the account describes her as having lived with debt until she left the industry.

Her comments offer a personal account of financial challenges she experienced while working as an idol. The source does not provide further details about the amount of debt or the circumstances of her departure. Jisun’s remarks appear in a video framed as advice based on her move away from idol life.
