Former Jewelry member Ha Joo-yeon has described becoming an office worker after leaving the entertainment industry and struggling to find steady work. She said she first took a café job, later worked as an assistant bakery instructor, and applied for hundreds of positions through job-search services.
She chose regular employment because a company can provide a dependable salary, unlike entertainment work that may disappear without warning. Ha said meeting people as an ordinary employee felt positive and that her goal now is to become successful and wealthy.
