Baby V.O.X's Kan Mi-yeon·Yoon Eun-hye, from Mongolia "guest anecdotes" to scam performances… confessions of reality behind the glamour
Baby V.O.X alumni Kan Mi-yeon and Yoon Eun-hye each revealed little-known episodes from their past activities, drawing attention.
Earlier, when "Mongolia" was mentioned as a travel destination on a program, Kan Mi-yeon recalled experiences from Baby V.O.X's heyday. She said, "When I was active with Baby V.O.X, we were invited by the president of Mongolia and went there. I heard that at the time each member received a land deed including 5,000 pyeong of land and a ger as a gift." she recalled the scale of the "Mongolian guest treatment" at the time.
But a bittersweet twist followed immediately. "Because local development was halted, those land deeds all became scraps of paper. If it had been real land, I wouldn't be doing broadcasts now and would be traveling instead," she said. Kan Mi-yeon wrapped up the situation with a rueful joke that sent the studio into laughter.
Meanwhile, Yoon Eun-hye, who appeared on MBC's "Save Me! Homes" broadcast on the 27th, candidly shared the practical hardships she experienced during her Baby V.O.X days.
She said, "Back then we were in the red. There were also a lot of scam performances," confessing the economic hardship behind the glamorous-looking heyday.
Regarding past rumors among Baby V.O.X members that "we received Mongolian land deeds," Yoon Eun-hye said, "There was even talk that each member had 1,000 pyeong of land deeds, but I didn't know whose story was true. In the end it was concluded to be 'not true.'" she noted that Mongolia was a country where foreigners could not own land, and added, "All the members lived like heads of households. Even though we worked hard, there were many difficult times," revealing the responsibility and practical burdens at the time.
Baby V.O.X was a first-generation girl group that led global activities and enjoyed great popularity, but through the two members' testimonies it was revealed that behind the glamorous stage at the time there were also real difficulties such as scam performances, economic pressure, and the falsely spread rumor of "Mongolian land." The two women's frank confessions show the true story of first-generation idols that can be heard only after many years have passed.
