Group SECRET's Jeon Hyo-sung opened up about her feelings regarding the group's return with a new member.

On the 18th, a video titled "Chanel Bag for 1.5 million won: Frugal Jeon Hyo-sung's Cost-Effective Rental House Fully Revealed (Smooth Water Diet)" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'A-class Jang Young-ran'.

Jang Young-ran visited Jeon Hyo-sung's home and toured the property. Afterwards, Jang Young-ran asked Jeon Hyo-sung about her recent activities.

Jeon Hyo-sung revealed, "There were some company issues, so I was forced to take a break. I often thought, 'What else could I do if I weren't an entertainer?'"

She continued, "I spent time with my family and even obtained a pet care certification. I've been preparing to return to the stage for the first time in a while since the year before last."

At this point, SECRET members Jing-ge and Ye-bin, who returned with Jeon Hyo-sung, appeared.

Recalling her time with SECRET, Jing-ge said, "I was suffering from entertainer burnout, but fortunately, I recovered quickly. Seeing the public drift away..."

SECRET's new member Ye-bin revealed, "Born in 2002, I am 25 years old." In response, Jeon Hyo-sung stated, "I was born in 1989, and (Jing-ge) in 1990. That's a 13-year age difference from me."

Ye-bin's process of joining the team was also revealed. Ye-bin explained, "I participated in JTBC's vocal survival show, but the team I was trying to debut with fell through. However, Jeon Hyo-sung saw that." Jeon Hyo-sung added, "I saw the article about the 'debut cancellation.' So I looked up that broadcast, and Ye-bin seemed fine."

Recalling her first meeting with Ye-bin, Jeon Hyo-sung said, "She was so young. She greeted me very politely. We did a vocal test right there, and she did very well. She blended well with the existing SECRET members and had great power."

Jeon Hyo-sung also shared her thoughts on returning to fans with the refreshed SECRET. She stated, "It took a lot of courage to return. People might no longer be curious about SECRET, or they might wonder, 'Are they coming back now with a new member?' I hope they will continue to watch us kindly and support us."

Meanwhile, SECRET released their special mini-album 'SECRET Flavor' through various music platforms at 6 p.m. on the 18th. This album is a reflection on precious memories that SECRET has set aside over 12 years. The members' sincere hearts to preserve SECRET's identity are deeply embedded throughout the album, and new member Ye-bin has joined as the main vocalist.
