@@Mr_Blink There was a scandal that she had plagiarized her masters thesis, and as things go in Korea the land of extreme cancel culture, it wasn't enough punishment for her master's and doctoral degrees to be cancelled, but she had to withdraw from her variety shows and go into hiatus in ''reflection''. This was 2,5 years ago so it should be more than enough time to let it go and for her to continue her activities, but netizens will probably bring her scandal up if she tries. She has released new music since but not done any variety shows.
One thing I like about Jin-young is that she's actually a real easygoing person and I like her style alot. Instead of singing olden style song (Trot) like it is, she revolutionized it into a modern-style ballad way which makes it more uplifting with a quicker BPM. That's interesting and fits her bubbly character more. Also chanced upon her at a cafe in Hongdae and she happily signed my friend's shirt without skipping a beat despite the limited language barrier they both faced and she happily took pictures with us too. Great character.
