On April 17, Song Ji-eun, a former member of the K-pop girl group Secret, opened up about her experience dealing with the disappointment of her dream ending.
This revelation came through a video uploaded on the YouTube channel 'Mic Impact,' titled 'WERACLE Park Wi Secret Song Ji-eun Open Up about Facing Unexpected Twists in Life,' featuring Song Ji-eun and her fiancé, Park Wi, a prominent YouTuber.
"Becoming a singer on TV has been my dream since I was a child," Song Ji-eun shared. "I devoted my school years to pursuing my goal and eventually debuted when I was 20. I achieved my dream."
Lost Sense of Purpose
However, achieving her dream of becoming a singer led to unexpected feelings.
Song Ji-eun confessed, "My dream of becoming a singer had a specific shape. It was not something that could span an entire life. So, after becoming a singer, I suddenly felt like I had lost my sense of purpose in life. I felt quite lost during my twenties."
Unexpected Twists
The singer continued, "Then, circumstances happened where I couldn't continue my singing career. My dream vanished, and I felt like it would never come true again. I thought, 'Maybe I shouldn't limit my dreams to a specific shape."
Reflecting on the group's disbandment, Song Ji-eun expressed:
"I was in a girl group for a long time. And I had some expectations for the direction of my life. I didn't expect the group's disbandment, yet it happened anyway. That's when I realized that life doesn't always go as expected."
Finding New Perspectives
Turning adversity into opportunity, Song Ji-eun remarked:
"Maybe it was a chance to change my life for the better. 'This might be an opportunity,' and, 'My life is a failure,' are very different views."
Concluding with a positive message, she said:
"When faced with an unexpected turn in life, remember that it may be an opportunity presenting itself."
Secret, which debuted in 2009 under TS Entertainment, halted its activities in 2016 due to a dispute with the agency. Since TS Entertainment's closure in January 2021, Song Ji-eun has transitioned to WERACLE Factory, founded by her fiancé Park Wi, embracing new beginnings and opportunities in her career journey.
