On "You Quiz," Kim Yeon-ja opened up about her true feelings regarding her ex-husband and her mother.

Appearing on tvN's "You Quiz on the Block," which aired on September 30, Kim recalled, "I toured Brazil, Cuba, Russia, and all over the world, but I did not accept performance fees for overseas shows. That is because I earned a lot in Japan. However, when I returned to Korea in 2012, I had not a single won."

She added, "My ex-husband was a company president. He managed all the costs for overseas charity performances, as well as expenses in Japan. I never asked how much I earned or how much he had. But I heard that my ex-husband came back empty-handed. So, I returned with nothing."

The song that defined her life after returning to Korea was "Amor Fati." Kim said, "I asked composer Yoon Il-sang for a favor. I told him I wanted to sing the song of my life. But I do not know much about EDM. I wondered if I should really sing this song. When it was released in 2013, reviews were poor, with critics saying the song was difficult and that I ran out of breath."

She continued, smiling contentedly, "But four years later, it experienced a resurgence. During 'Open Concert,' there were EXO fans present. An EXO fan wrote a post asking people to listen to just 40 seconds of 'Amor Fati.' It was truly miraculous. I offered prayers of gratitude every day. There had been a 20-year hiatus, but 'Amor Fati' filled that gap."

Although she became a senior artist who stood EXO and BTS as her backup dancers, she has been going through a difficult time due to the deterioration of her mother's health. Kim choked up, saying, "My mother has acute Parkinson's disease. She is lying in bed and cannot get up."

She then prayed for hope, stating, "Because she gave birth to me at 19, we lived like sisters or friends. In our 20s, we traveled together to the provinces. We worked hard, and things finally became comfortable, but now it is very bad. If a miracle were to happen, I would love for her to appear before me in good health."
