Ha Ju-yeon, a former member of the group Jewelry, revealed her current status as she lives a second life as an ordinary office worker.
A video titled "Jewelry's Ha Ju-yeon, Who Only Waits for Payday: Lunch Break" was uploaded to singer Noh Sa-yeon's YouTube channel on the 22nd.
In the video, Noh Sa-yeon went on a picnic with Ha Ju-yeon and chatted about their recent lives. Regarding her long hiatus, Ha Ju-yeon confided, "If you don't work in this industry (entertainment), you are practically unemployed. You can only go where you are invited, but I could not wait for that opportunity indefinitely."
After ending her activities with Jewelry, Ha Ju-yeon worked part-time at a cafe in Hannam-dong to make ends meet. She confessed that her first experience of working in society in Korean society was honestly a bit embarrassing.

Ha Ju-yeon said, "I submitted my resume to several hundred places through job-seeking sites. Even though I was much younger than I am now at the time, I was rejected starting from the document screening stage." She added, "I felt frustrated, thinking perhaps it was because of my age." She later revealed that she gradually built up her career and was able to live as an office worker.
When Noh Sa-yeon asked, "Do you now just live waiting for payday?", Ha Ju-yeon replied with a beaming smile, "That is exactly the best part." She explained, "In the entertainment industry, if there is no work, there is no income at all, but office workers receive a stable salary every month. The reassurance that I will get paid as long as the company does not go bankrupt was the decisive reason I decided to take a job." She added, "Leaving behind my glamorous life as an entertainer, I am much more satisfied with my current life as an ordinary person."
Ha Ju-yeon revealed that her mother is a graduate of Seoul Arts High School and majored in Korean traditional dance, and then introduced her father as the renowned actor Ha Jae-young. When Noh Sa-yeon exclaimed, "He was truly a wonderful actor," Ha Ju-yeon expressed her unique affection by saying, "My father's coolness remains just as it is today."
Ha Ju-yeon joined Jewelry as a third-generation member in 2008 and worked as a rapper, but left the team in 2014 upon the expiration of her exclusive contract.
