miss A's Fei became teary-eyed on the December 10 installment of KBS 2TV's 'Happy Together 3' as she talked about coming to Korea and the tough circumstances before that.

"I had the hardest time before coming to Korea," she revealed, saying that training in JYP had been hard, but living in China before that had been even harder.  "My younger brother ws sick as soon as he was born, and my mother was ill, as well.  That's why money.." and was unable to go on, suggesting they were hit by hard finances.

"Two years ago, I was not good at studying, either," she continued.  "I was never happy whenever I went home.  I would go down to the countryside with my friends to dance and perform, so I would earn 20,000 KRW (~ 17 USD) and live off that money.  I honestly did not know much about Korea, but I liked dancing and music, so I ended up coming.  Now, my family is very happy.  I even bought my parents a house."
