Singer Baek Ye-rin shared her reflections on a trip she took alone.

Recently, through her Instagram, Baek Ye-rin said, "I've almost never had a solo meal before. Since I usually eat while staring at a wall or TV, it wasn't as awkward as I thought," and added, "Instead, I felt it was more comfortable."

She continued, "I'm an introvert. Because I meet people often and perform on stage, I think I've been living forgetting that I already know how to do things alone." She explained, "Lately, I feel more hesitant about trying something new for the first time. It feels like it's been 29 years since I last traveled alone or had coffee alone. Now that I have some time to rest, I'm finally flying in late."

Baek Ye-rin also shared an anecdote from a restaurant. She said, "One of the aunties asked if I came from Seoul and whether I was a celebrity. Unsure how to explain my ambiguous position, I teased them with 'Nope~ Thanks~' before leaving the restaurant."

She added, "I thought this might be the fun of traveling alone. I felt the warmth from the aunties, casually dropped a few words, received compliments, visited the same shop again to ask how they were doing after promising to return, and sometimes think back on it."

Additionally, recalling memories with people she met at bookstores, cafes, and other travel spots, Baek Ye-rin stated, "I became convinced that just two or three of those moments from there would be enough to spend this summer well. It was a happy trip where I felt no regret and didn't get too greedy. I should take trips more often."

Baek Ye-rin said, "Traveling, performing wonderful shows, resting at home, eating meals, sleeping well—all of these are possible thanks to many people. Thank you."

Meanwhile, Baek Ye-rin recently participated as a featured artist on rapper Cookie's newly released digital single 'Stuck'.
