"A lot of people think that it was because I was excluded from the members, but that really frustrates me.�I wasn't an outcast at all.�I, too, always thought bullying to be the cause when other idol group members departed, but after being put in the same position, I realize how wrong I was.�I wasn't bullied, nor was that the reason behind my departure. After completing our promotions for 'Diva', I began taking acting lessons. When I was preparing to became a singer, learning how to dance for two to four hours was so difficul, but in contrast, acting was so much more fun. I could learn acting for four hours and it'd feel like only five minutes had passed.�My major was already acting, and I finally realized then and there that my dream was to act, not sing. In order to realize my dream of becoming an actress, I had to make the difficult decision of leaving the group.�I'm not young anymore, so I knew that I had to make the decision as early as I could.�I went through a lot of pain by leaving the members, but I'm so thankful towards them. We still hang out together and even monitor for each other.�I'm still close with Jooyeon and Jungah, and even Raina, who was a trainee at the time I was in the group."
