Hwang Hye-young, a former member of the group Toot-Toot and currently active as a business person, directly addressed rumors about her shopping mall's closure. Regarding some reports, she stated, 'That's not true,' and clarified that she is only reducing her business temporarily to focus on personal matters and child-rearing.
Recently, Hwang Hye-young opened up through her Instagram, saying, 'It seems that there have been too many articles related to my shopping mall on my YouTube.' He corrected the fact that 'those who have been with me for a long time probably know this, but what I mentioned this year about wanting to take a break from the shopping mall for various reasons has been exaggerated and sensationalized in the articles.'
She further revealed, 'I have been receiving too many calls and messages to check in,' and emphasized, 'As I mentioned earlier, I want to focus more on my children who are growing day by day, and due to my personal circumstances, I'm currently reducing my work within the shopping mall. #SuddenStop #NotAClosure.'
Hwang Hye-young made it clear that she is still consistently opening products she personally selected, and while she is reducing operations for the time being, she is not completely stopping.
Moreover, he added, 'I am more suited to being a business person than a celebrity. I will continue to challenge myself with new and interesting things according to my situation.' He also stated, 'It's too early for me to retire. You don't have to worry.'
Earlier, it became a topic of conversation when it was revealed that Hwang Hye-young had ultimately organized her shopping mall, which had a yearly revenue of 10 billion won, after 18 years of operation.
Previously, through her YouTube channel, she revealed, 'I don't have the confidence to pour my passion into it like before. As the children continue to grow, I feel inadequate as a working mom and want to focus more on them. Physically, it's been really tough. I think I have pushed myself too much,' expressing her desire for rest.
Meanwhile, Hwang Hye-young, who gave birth to twins after marrying her husband, Kim Kyung-rok, a former politician, has been actively recognized as a 'working mom role model' while also working as the CEO of an online shopping mall.

Yesterday, it seems that there were too many articles related to my shopping mall on my YouTube. For those who have been with me for a long time, you probably already know this… I mentioned that I wanted to take a break from the shopping mall for various reasons starting this year, and this has been increasingly exaggerated into sensational headlines. Since yesterday, I have been receiving too many check-in calls and messages from everywhere.
As I mentioned earlier, I want to focus more on my children who are growing day by day, and due to my personal circumstances, my work within the shopping mall is being reduced. For the time being, I intend to reduce it even more. #SuddenStop #NotAClosure.
I have only reduced the number of tasks, and I am still consistently opening products that I love. I will continue to do so in the future.
As I mentioned in the video, I am the type of person who is more suited to business than being a celebrity. I will continue to challenge myself with new and fun things according to my situation (it's too early for me to retire, haha).
To those who are worried about me, you don't have to worry too much. To all the supporters, I thank you so much. I will continue to live diligently in my place. Thank you always.
