Singer Jina officially announced her return to activities through her role as a special MC at a K-pop event in Canada.

'Kimchi & K-Food Festival' shared the news of Jina's appearance on the 19th and posted a video.

The organizers stated, "Jina, a Korean-Canadian who has been active on the K-pop stage, will join as the special MC for the 2026 Kimchi Festival K-Pop Dance Championship." They added, "We hope this will be a special time to support the passion and challenges of participants toward the stage and create the hot energy of K-pop together with the audience."

In response, Jina expressed her anticipation by leaving a comment saying, "I'm looking forward to it."

The K-Pop Dance Championship is a side event of the '2026 Kimchi & K-Food Festival' taking place on the 28th at Coquitlam Town Centre in British Columbia, Canada.

Jina debuted in the music industry in 2010. She later gained great popularity with hit songs such as 'I'll Go Away and Live Well' and 'Black & White'.

However, she suspended her entertainment activities after becoming involved in a prostitution case in the United States in March 2016. At the time, she claimed to have had a sexual relationship with a man introduced by an acquaintance but insisted it was unrelated to any financial compensation. She also explained that they met as mutual acquaintances and developed a good relationship. However, the court did not accept this explanation and sentenced her to a fine of 2 million won.

Later, in 2017, Jina clarified the prostitution case as a "rumor" through her personal account, stating, "Although I was surrounded by many obstacles, emotional pain, and endless rumors, I did not give up thanks to fans who believed in and followed me."

Since late 2025, Jina has shared updates about her music work, expressing her determination to return to the music industry. She said, "Rather than thinking I need to perform as well as before, today was a day where I wanted to capture myself as I am now. Let's continue our story little by little."
