Noh Ji-seon, a former member of the girl group fromis_9, shared her experience of falling into the trap of card loans.

On the 11th, a video titled "Don't Get Into Card Loans! Life Advice from a Senior Who Switched Careers from Idol to Another Job. with Noh Ji-seon" was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Min Sae-rom's Open Studio."

Noh Ji-seon said, "I did group activities until I was 28. Until then, I couldn't rely on help from my parents or my older brother. Since I needed to make a living immediately, I also looked into loans," adding, "But it turned out I was listed as unemployed. Because I had no income, I wasn't able to get a loan."

She continued, "Since I had to survive right away, I thought things were in serious trouble. After feeling at a loss, I checked and found that I could use card loans. Since it was urgent, I didn't even think about the interest rate, and it didn't really register with me. They said they would give me 3 million won, so I thought I could survive for three or four months, which is why I took out a card loan."

Noh Ji-seon stated, "The debt really snowballed. After using the card loan, my credit limit had increased," and added, "I borrowed additional money to pay off the 3rd million won I had originally borrowed. That amount kept growing and growing."

Noh Ji-seon revealed that she has currently cleared all her debts. She said, "I paid it all off one year after leaving the group. It wasn't an amount in the hundreds of millions of won," adding, "My older brother was also preparing for his wedding, but he lent me money. The process of repaying what I owed my brother, paying off the card loan, and rebuilding my credit score was the hardest part."

Meanwhile, Noh Ji-seon appeared on Mnet's idol survival program "Idol School," which ended in 2017. She secured the center position through the show and debuted with fromis_9 the following year, releasing songs such as "DM," "We Go," "Love Bomb," "Talk & Talk," and "Glass Slipper." However, Noh Ji-seon left the team along with Lee Sae-rom and Lee Seo-yeon in 2024.
