Every star must have a dark story in the past, and a brand new singer of kpop Yo Ah Ri is not an exception. The girl admitted that she was once a part of the phenomenal Brown Eyed Girls as their fifth member, but soon exited the group. Of course, she was completely unaware of the monstrous fame the girls would gain soon after quitting.According to Yo Ah Ri, she was an official Brown Eyed Girl until 2006, regardless of her young age. Her maturity on top of great singing skills qualified the girl to be in the group. However, right before the grand debut, she had to bow out due to the difference in her music style with the Brown Eyed Girls.
She then entered a short-lived rock band Sprinkler, and was in charge of recording guide tracks for artists, mainly the Brown Eyed Girls.
“Every time I sing a guide song for the Brown Eyed Girls, I would burst in tears and fall in depression. But because of that experience, I was able to learn a lot, making this solo debut possible,” Yo Ah Ri revealed.Brown Eyed Girls aside, Yo Ah Ri has had a difficult life growing up, as she only graduated from elementary school. Due to economic hardships of her family, she was expected to contribute to her family by earning money from various jobs.
Yo Ah Ri’s debut track 저기요 (Excuse Me) will be unleashed on the 21st.
