In the 4th episode of tvN STORY's 'Still Alive Better Than Ever,' Ha Jooyeon from the renowned group Jewelry shared the intriguing story of her second year as an office worker.
In the latest episode, Ha Jooyeon joyfully revealed her new position as a sales team manager at a cutlery and dishware company. Transitioning from the entertainment industry to a stable corporate job has brought her a sense of security, as she now receives a monthly salary. She shared, "It's the first time in my life working at a company. It's different from the entertainment industry since I receive a monthly salary, so I feel at ease thanks to the stability."
Engaging with customers and building relationships is one of the aspects she enjoys most in her new role. Unlike her days in the entertainment world, she now has the opportunity to meet and communicate with a diverse range of people. Although she is currently a manager, Ha Jooyeon expresses her determination to continue working hard until she reaches further heights in her new career.
Interestingly, her fame occasionally catches the attention of customers who recognize her from her days in the entertainment industry. She shared, "When I am working, there are people who recognize me. They're usually parents so they explain to their kids that I used to be part of a group that is like 'BLACKPINK'."
I remember Jooyeon's short stint with Unpretty Rapstar and thought she did pretty well in the group release. I'm impressed to hear that she's thriving, post-entertainer days.
Wishing her the very best indeed. <3.
