Kwon So-hyun, an actress and former member of the group 4Minute, shared her recent status after transforming into an employee at a talent agency.

On the 23rd, a video titled "I'm Clocking Out | Vlog of an Entertainment Industry Office Worker in Their Sixth Month" was released on the YouTube channel "Kwon So-hyun."

In the released video, Kwon So-hyun revealed her daily life while working as an employee at Cube Entertainment. She stated, "At work, they gave me the title of PD (Producer/Director), but I asked them to just call me 'So-hyun-nim.'"

She continued, "I am in charge of producing Light Sum's Japanese album. I work with the planning team on album concepts and handle A&R duties by sourcing and organizing music tracks," adding with a smile, "I'm doing what I'm told to do."

Having shifted from being a singer to a production staff member, Kwon So-hyun joked, "Being an artist is really hard. Everyone should experience working as an office worker."

She said, "I often think about the past and have done a lot of mirror therapy. I've also become more objective about myself," adding, "As an artist, you see the polished final product. Now, when offering opinions, I think, 'This must have gone through countless processes before reaching me.'"

She continued, "Through working as an office worker, I realized how good it was to be an artist. When I was in 4Minute, I thought it was hard because I was on stage no matter what, but in reality, the staff created everything," expressing gratitude toward the production team.

After clocking out, Kwon So-hyun revealed why she started her office life at Cube Entertainment.

She said, "It has been six months since I started working as an office worker. There are two reasons why I started," first mentioning the junior group Light Sum.

Kwon So-hyun stated, "Watching the members of Light Sum, I wanted to be of some help," adding, "Idols often compare their recognition and popularity with those of friends who debuted around the same time, and there are many situations where they compare themselves with members within the same group."

She continued, "I went through that time too, but it felt like a waste to spend it feeling anxious," revealing, "I thought I didn't want the Light Sum members to go through that."

She explained, "I wondered if their Japanese debut and new concept could be a good opportunity. I wanted to look for ways to help, even a little."

The other reason was her own introspection. Kwon So-hyun confessed, "This is a profession where you must constantly be chosen. I have always lived a life with high levels of anxiety," adding, "I thought my looks and skills were all mediocre. It felt like there was no answer."

She said, "I wondered what kind of person I wanted to be. Then I realized that I love moments when I feel like a living person," continuing, "I thought there might be a place where I could utilize myself more and feel useful and alive."

She added, "At that time, I met the Light Sum members and said I wanted to learn if I could be of any help," sharing, "I considered it a grateful opportunity to learn production work at the company where I was once an artist."

Finally, Kwon So-hyun stated, "I tried to learn with the mindset that I am just an employee. I have not quit acting," revealing her attitude toward this new challenge.

Meanwhile, Kwon So-hyun debuted in 2009 as a member of the group 4Minute and was loved for hit songs such as "Hot Issue," "Music," "What's Your Name?," and "Crazy." She later expanded her activities into acting and is currently working on both artist activities and album production at Cube Entertainment.
