It seems as if the world is rightly obsessed with Korean shows, especially after the massive success of Netflix‘s Squid Game. The latest international sensation is Single’s Inferno, a dating reality show that just completed its third season.
Each season, the show follows a new group of attractive, single people as they try and search for love. While filming, the contestants are on an island cut off from the real world.
During the first season, Kang So Yeon gained attention for her stunning visuals, caring personality, and genuineness.
On the show, So Yeon showcased her athletic side and proved that she is worthy of being the CEO of HITFIT BOXING and GoodRound leisure clothing. However, sports aren’t her only talent.
As it turns out, So Yeon used to be an idol! In 2012, she debuted in a co-ed group called WE that has since faded into obscurity.
If netizens were surprised that they hadn’t figured it out before while searching for So Yeon, it would’ve been almost impossible. So Yeon actually went by the stage name Rosie in the group, but her visuals were undeniable, even dressed in the fashion associated with that time in K-Pop.
Although it’s hard to find anything about the group, netizens tracked down one of the group’s tracks, “Party,” on YouTube. The video serves pure classic K-Pop vibes with the edginess of the concept and the bright and hip-hop-inspired outfits.
In particular, So Yeon proved that as well as being badass, she can be adorable while singing and dancing like a boss! It is starting to get unfair that she basically can do it all.
The TikTok video that brought attention to So Yeon’s idol past gained hundreds of comments. So Yeon had done every job in the industry and proved that there wasn’t anything she couldn’t do!
At the same time, the video on YouTube suddenly gained a lot of new comments, with users calling her a multitalented queen and wanting a comeback after her recent popularity.
Yet, So Yeon isn’t the only cast member who’s been in the world of K-Pop. Cha Hyun Seong is well-known to netizens after going viral for being the iconic backing dancer for Sunmi…
…and basically being BFFs with K-Pop idols!
He also danced alongside Stray Kids during their performance of BTOB‘s track “I’ll Be Your Man” on Mnet‘s Kingdom alongside fellow cast member Kim Hyeon Joong.
