On the April 28 installment of 'Kim Chang Ryul's Old School,' trending girl group EXID appeared with rising star Hani talking about what's changed since they hit success. �

DJ Kim Chang Ryul asked her, "These days, all of Korea is focused on Hani. �If there's something you're more careful about now than in the past, what is it?" �She replied, "Words . . . Before our comeback, we appeared on variety programs and I thought the words I'd say then could have an influence on our group, so I felt burdened; hence, I started to stop talking."

There was already a time she had apologized for a past comment about leaving the industry, so she probably is aware of the importance of words by now.

The EXID members chimed in here with, "Hani is not silent when we're alone together. She makes jokes, too."

Kim Chang Ryul said, "Hani used to talk quite well on TV, but starting from some time, only your smiling image came out." �She said, "That's right. �In place of not speaking, I became the queen of reactions."

Hopefully, she'll feel more comfortable speaking soon, but the fear is pretty understandable. What are your thoughts?
