Group Apink Oh Ha-young (29) confessed to being forced by a former agency representative to appear on SBS entertainment program ‘Law of the Jungle’.
On the 16th, Apink’s Park Cho-rong and Oh Ha-young appeared on EXO’s Xiumin’s YouTube channel ‘Shuming’s Ramen Shop’.
In the video, Xiumin was surprised and asked, “Did both of you appear on ‘Law of the Jungle’?” Park Cho-rong said, “I wanted to go, so I went voluntarily.”
She added, “The hardest part was not being able to use the bathroom or wash, and I didn’t sleep well because my back was sore,” she said. “I went to Fiji, but since it was a good place, it was less difficult.”
In response, Oh Ha-young, who went to Papua New Guinea through ‘Law of the Jungle’, confessed, “I cried all the time.”
She said, “Everyone treated me very well because I was the youngest, but it was hard to adapt at first,” she continued, “It rained a lot, and I got blisters on my legs. It was hard, but it was fun when I watched the broadcast afterward.”
Oh Ha-young said, “I didn’t go voluntarily,” adding, “A representative who is no longer at the company said, ‘If you don’t go out, I’ll cancel all your schedules,’ so I had no choice but to go.”
Park Cho-rong was surprised and asked, “Really?” and Oh Ha-young emphasized, “I had no choice but to go.”
Oh Ha-young, who debuted with Apink in 2011, received love with several hit songs including ‘Mr. Chu’, ‘NoNoNo’, and more. Known as a representative soccer fan in the entertainment industry, she attracted attention as an on-site reporter at the ‘2025 Coupang Play Series’ friendly match held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium last month.
Oh Ha-young left IST Entertainment, where she had been for 12 years since her debut in 2023, and after passing through Choi Creative Lab, she signed an exclusive contract with With Us Entertainment in July.
