Singer Ji-na breaks a 10-year hiatus following a fine for arranging prostitution and will appear as the special MC for a K-pop event.
The 'kimchi & K-food Festival' said on the 19th through its official channels that the artist Ji-na, who has been active on K-pop stages, will join as the special MC of the '2026 kimchi Festival' K-pop dance championship.
It added, "A special time to cheer on participants' passion and challenges toward the stage and to create the hot energy of K-pop together with the audience! Powerful performances and passionate stages will unfold," it previewed. At the same time, the post drew attention by posting videos from Ji-na's active years.
Ji-na also left a comment saying "Can't wait," directly expressing her anticipation for her comeback activities.
With this, Ji-na will officially return to activities after about 10 years. Having earlier announced her intent to return by sharing news of a remake of "I'll turn off and live well," interest is growing over whether she can stand before the public again starting with this MC role.
Ji-na debuted as a singer in Korea in 2010 and was much loved through "I'll turn off and live well" and "Black and White." However, she became embroiled in controversy after receiving a fine in 2016 on charges of violating the Act on the Punishment of Acts of Arranging or Mediating Prostitution, suspended activities and returned to Canada.
