Secret's Jeon Hyo-seong and Zinger Tear Up During Reunion After 12 Years as Kim Sook Recalls Her Plea for Help

On June 15, the YouTube channel Kim Sook TV featured Jeon Hyo-seong, who has returned as part of the girl group Secret after 12 years. During the episode, Jeon was moved to tears by a remark from Korean entertainer Kim Sook.

Meeting Kim Sook again after a long time, Jeon Hyo-seong smiled throughout the conversation. She said she has been extremely busy lately, but that she is working with happy energy. She added that the simple fact of being able to stand on stage again has made the experience deeply enjoyable.

Jeon also expressed strong confidence in new member Ye-bin. Calling Ye-bin a highly capable member, she said the newcomer is bringing fresh energy to the team. Jeon went on to say that the process of practicing together and preparing for the stage has itself been enjoyable, making clear how satisfied she is with Secret's comeback activities.

Kim Sook then revealed the contents of the first message she received from Jeon asking for help. Kim explained that Jeon is not usually someone who asks favors of others, but had contacted her carefully, saying that Secret was making a comeback after a long time and asking whether the group might be able to appear, even briefly, on a broadcast or YouTube program.

Kim Sook said she could feel how earnest Jeon was when she saw the message asking whether the group could appear for even 30 seconds. Kim said she replied that they would be welcome anytime.

Kim also praised Jeon's thoughtfulness, saying Jeon had not asked only for herself to be introduced, but had also asked Kim to introduce the new members as well. Kim said she found it touching that Jeon was trying to take care of the other members too.

At those words, Jeon Hyo-seong and Zinger began to cry. Ye-bin then shared her own feelings, saying that unlike the older members, she is a rookie, so she was worried when she first joined the team. She said the members have treated her very well, though she sometimes feels the age gap between them. As an example, the article noted that Zinger had referred to Insaengnekeot as seu-sa, an abbreviation for sticker photos.

Jeon Hyo-seong laughed as she reflected on the difference in age. She said that because the gap is 13 years, there is no reason for them to argue. Instead, she said, it is fun because she gets to hear stories from a new generation.
