Article: Kang Jiyoung, "Working in Japan was difficult to the point of tears"

1. [+6,037, -543] Really sounds like it was difficult.. she also looks like she's aged a bit as well...
2. [+3,112, -200] If you look at her recent work, she's become extremely fluent in Japan and has improved a lot in her acting. She's put in so much effort.
3. [+2,664, -524] All the current idols need to look at this~ All idol groups seem to think that going solo will bring in more income since you don't have to share anymore and your popularity will be maintained but look at what happened to KARA~ They used to be so popular and yet not one of them has been successful since their disbandment~
4. [+1,555, -96] Maybe because her make up style is more Japanese now but... she really does look Japanese. Still pretty~~
5. [+1,399, -116] I hear that she's really put in a lot of effort. She's always been popular in Japan since she was younger. I wish her the best.
6. [+754, -141] Wow, look at her still getting hate just for not doing some aegyo all those years ago on 'Radio Star'. That just shows that it isn't anything wrong that Kang Jiyoung did but our culture that demands grown women to act like babies. To Korean men, Kang Jiyoung is more worthy of death for not showing aegyo than any scandalous man like Lee Byung Hun.
7. [+353, -14] She still shared a photo of the Taegukgi on national liberation day even while working in Japan. She's awesome.
8. [+318, -16] She looks like Bada here...
9. [+295, -24] To all of you hating... have you ever lived abroad? I'm not talking about international vacations... because living somewhere else is completely different. There's a different kind of discrimination and loneliness that you face... She's really finding her strength to get through this. Give her your support instead of acting like a tadpole in a pond.
10. [+162, -6] She debuted at 15 and spent her teens with KARA and still found it within herself to start something new in her twenties. I find that amazing.
