Jewelry group member Lee Ji-hyun revealed her recent activities after transforming into a hair designer.
The MBN variety program 'Sokpuri Show Dongchimi,' which aired on the 30th, was themed 'Do You Know Why You're Not Happy?' and featured Hong Kyung-min, Lee Ji-hyun, and Ko Myung-hwan as guests.
On this day, Lee Ji-hyun said, "I became a hair designer at a shop in Gwacheon," announcing her new beginning as a hair designer and receiving much applause.

Lee Ji-hyun said, "At first, I took the national licensing exam. It was the first time I left the entertainment industry to learn something on my own and go to take an exam. When I arrived at the exam hall, there was no one next to me. I always had my members beside me and a manager, so there was no one I could call for help, and I couldn't call anyone. I wanted to run away. I held the scissors trembling. During practice, I did very well. But as soon as I got to the exam hall, I turned to ice. When the instructor walked by, my mind went blank. I failed eight times. No, I failed seven times," she confessed.
In response, Lee Hong-ryul joked, "It seems that path isn't for you," and Lee Ji-hyun replied, "I thought about that a lot. I wanted to give up, but I didn't have the confidence to give up, so I couldn't. I felt that if I gave up, I wouldn't be able to do anything else," she said.
When asked, "Is there anyone who wants to touch your hair?" Lee Ji-hyun answered, "There are too many. First, senior Kim Yong-man's hairstyle is old-fashioned. Some parts are a bit droopy and heavy. It might be good to just do a center-part perm like young men these days and finish with a thin texture treatment. There's a bit too much curl. Senior Hong Kyung-min, why are you exactly the same as 20 years ago? Why is everything exactly the same? I think your vibe would change completely even with a hair color," her answer elicited laughter.
