Singer Jina, who was sentenced to a fine for charges including prostitution brokering and subsequently expelled from the entertainment industry, shared her feelings while reflecting on the past.

On the 18th, Jina posted a video titled "Hello, we meet again. Chapter 2. Finding My Voice" on her Instagram.

The released video captured Jina's thoughts as she prepares for a fresh start. She stated, "For the past few years, people have created stories about me from afar. But those stories never truly captured my real self." She added, "For a long time, I chose silence—not because those stories were true, but because I was not yet ready."

She continued, "People often misunderstand silence. Sometimes, silence is necessary just to endure. It may be needed to survive and heal, or it may be a choice to wait until one can speak with confidence."

Jina explained, "Simply standing here as I approach my fortieth year holds great significance. This is not about proving my value to strangers. Music has always been like home to me, which is why I have returned to this stage."

She emphasized, "Someday, I will share my own story directly through my voice—not through sensational headlines or baseless rumors."

Debuting in 2010, Jina received great love for hit songs such as "I'll Go Away and Live Well" and "Black and White." However, in 2016, she was sentenced to a fine of 2 million won for violating the Act on the Punishment of Prostitution Brokering, etc., effectively expelling her from the entertainment industry.

Having resided in Canada since then, she has recently resumed her SNS activities and is continuing her comeback efforts. Marking her 16th debut anniversary, she also revealed about past controversies: "People say, 'You handled it really well.' But I couldn't. I was losing my mind and lost the vitality within me."
