Nam Gyu-ri of the group Cya reminisced about her past.

On the 16th, a video titled "Nam Gyu-ri: 'My pretty face was a hurdle for me'" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'YouTube Ha Ji-young'.

The released video showed Nam Gyu-ri and Ha Ji-young meeting at Cya's Daegu concert.

After the concert, the two had a meal together, during which Ha Ji-young asked Nam Gyu-ri, "When was your prime?"

Nam Gyu-ri replied, "People might think my prime was during my Cya days, but for me, it is now. I feel that my current self is the most beautiful. Of course, as time passes, I have aged and become more mature, but I believe that my mindset of thinking about others today represents a truer prime."

She continued, "For over a decade, there were periods when I remained silent. Whether I was smiling or just sitting quietly, my nickname became 'Quiet.' The reason was that no matter what I said, even if I hadn't done anything wrong, many people would say negative things about me. They claimed I was pretending to be pretty, had princess syndrome, could only sing one song, and always dressed alone in beautiful clothes. Reasons were invented without cause."

She added, "Whenever I spoke, articles kept appearing with sensational headlines that distorted my original words, causing my sincerity to be greatly misunderstood. From a certain point on, I stopped speaking. In fact, the YouTube channel helped bring me out of that silence. I am truly grateful."

Alongside this, Nam Gyu-ri also spoke about her difficult past. She recalled, "There was a time when I felt like I couldn't work at all. There were moments when I had no choice but to leave the industry. At that time, it seemed as if all Koreans disliked me."

She further said, "During those overwhelming times when I didn't know how to live my life ahead, if God existed, I prayed, 'If I am truly a bad person, please let me be unable to work at all. But if you know my true heart, please allow me to spend time living through the work I love.' I believed that one cannot cover the sky with their palm. Therefore, walking through those dark times shrouded in thick fog at such a young age feels like something I did very well."
