Hanni of EXID has opened up after a long silence.
The third episode of Channel A's 'Oh Eun-young Stay,' broadcast on the 7th, began the second phase of Stay with Dr. Oh Eun-young, Ko So-young, and special part-timer Yoo Se-yoon. On this day, Hanni quietly entered 'Stay' in training clothes and bare-faced, without a manager or staff, surprising everyone. Arriving alone on a train with just a single backpack seemed to say a lot by itself.
Hanni revealed in a pre-interview with the production team, "I started my career too early, and after my contract period ended, I realized I didn't know the world. I felt like I was a frog in a well." During the 'Auto Talk' segment, she said, "I tend to be quite observant. But now I want to stop being that way," and confessed, "Being observant is difficult, but I think I've had to be in that kind of environment."
They noted, "Having gone through various experiences lately, I've felt that my life doesn't go as I wish. There were moments when I realized I couldn't choose what happens to me. Consequently, I've naturally come to let go of my desire to control my life. I started to wonder, 'Is that okay to live like that?'."
Hanni suspended her activities after a patient died at the hospital run by her former boyfriend, psychiatrist Yang Jae-woong, in May last year. At that time, a person surnamed A was hospitalized for addiction treatment to diet pills and passed away 17 days later, with this fact being revealed two months later. Controversy ensued over whether Hanni was aware of this matter, leading to the cancellation of her scheduled appearances.
Ultimately, the two postponed their wedding indefinitely. Additionally, Hanni halted her domestic activities but signaled her return by participating in overseas festivals as part of the full EXID group, and announced her activity resumption by staging with EXID members for KBS2's 'Immortal Songs' Baby V.O.X episode.
Meanwhile, according to the position of LKB Partners, the law firm representing Yang Jae-woong, a police investigation is currently underway regarding the appropriateness of isolation and restraint measures on the patient and the legality of the procedures.
