Former group 4minute member Nam Ji-hyun addressed retirement rumors.
On the 25th, Nam Ji-hyun posted on her social media, "I get asked a lot if I opened the barre studio and retired, and the conclusion is no."
Nam Ji-hyun debuted with the girl group 4minute in 2009 and began her activities, and in 2010, she also pursued acting. 4minute officially disbanded in 2016.
Afterward, Nam Ji-hyun revealed that she is active as a Pilates instructor, and recently opened a barre shop, transforming into a businessperson. This led to speculation that Nam Ji-hyun had retired from the entertainment industry.
In response, Nam Ji-hyun denied it while candidly saying, "However, I think I got tired of being chosen by someone."
She added, "In order to get out of the feeling of helplessness, I exercised to gather more strength and try to go far. That exercise was barre, and it gave me a lot of energy. I believe sincerity connects. I want to share the energy of living proactively together and create well."

Barre studio
I get asked a lot if I opened
and retired,
and the conclusion is no.
However,
I think I got tired of being chosen by someone..
To get out of the feeling of helplessness,
I exercised to gather more strength
to try to go far.
That exercise was barre,
and it gave me a lot of energy.
So I wanted to share it,
and I wanted to convey how valuable it is
to sweat.
When I exercise,
I have the confidence that I can live proactively,
right? So the catchphrase of barre studio
is Lead your life.
I believe sincerity connects.
I want to share the energy of living proactively together
and create well.
I will try to live slowly and solidly.
