Youngji | Solo Music & Acting | KARA

An SBS report from an October 10 press visit includes her photograph among the housemates. This entry identifies her participation as season two in 2014, keeping it separate from the first season’s launch and identifying the images as photographs from that later press visit.

The on-site speakers were Marina Watanabe, author and co-writer Tatsuya Miyanishi, and chief director Kazumi Nonaka. The supplied event report explicitly describes Youngji’s contribution as a surprise video message, not an in-person stage appearance. Japan’s theatrical release followed on June 6.

Contemporary announcements or post-event articles are listed alongside participant Em2T’s record. For video posts, the written caption was consulted; this is not a record of watching the full video.

The regular broadcast began on March 30, with SBS reports documenting recording plans and the cast beforehand. Although it was a music programme, this was a panel appearance rather than a solo release or an entry recording her own concert performance.

In a July 2016 interview just after the drama ended, Youngji recalled being called back about a month after her audition. She also proposed changing the blonde hair used in the initial shoot to give Anna a less predictable look. Playing someone unafraid of anyone was challenging among experienced actors, so she devoted extra time to studying and rehearsing the role.

The contemporary report describes KARA songs including Orion and surprise video messages from Gyuri and Seungyeon. Guest group April joined her for a KARA medley, and Youngji told KAMILIA she hoped to create more opportunities to meet them.

The original report of the daytime show records a collaboration with KARA songwriter Simon Isogai. They performed Orion and Bye Bye Happy Days with keyboard and guitar accompaniment, alongside a music quiz and hand-delivered Valentine cards.

The digital release contains the vocal and instrumental tracks. Toi Toi Toi in 2023 was her first physical solo single.

The official description presents a project to raise awareness of abandoned and lost dogs and prevention education, with all audio and CD proceeds intended for donation.

The first episode aired June 8. In the July 20 episode visiting Songridan-gil, she appeared alongside VIXX’s Ravi.

The contemporary report describes seven songs over roughly 80 minutes, including her 2017 solo track Memory Clock and KARA’s STEP and Mister. Its encore photograph captures her greeting the audience, documenting a show that linked her solo work and KARA repertoire.

She discussed her work as the programme’s host in a 2020 interview. Reports on her final appearance in 2023 cited a programme count of 515 episodes.

The official character profile presents Ji-min as someone who has faced difficulties away from her rural parents, representing young adults struggling to find work. On the final broadcast day, 10 September, Youngji marked the series’ ending on social media with photographs including flowers. The role adds a slightly older working young adult’s perspective to the school-centred story.

The production described the situation of people competing with AI for work as the starting point. The advisers seek ways to respond to customers’ feelings beyond standard scripts. Mi-yeon’s scenes include answering a request through song, bringing Youngji’s vocal expression into the character’s working life.

Season one began streaming on May 18, produced by Lee Jae-seok. In the production announcement, Youngji said she hoped to host like a friend who empathizes and responds to the participants. This work centered on studio conversation alongside her singing and acting.

In Tokyo, she became a pastry chef for cake-making segments, discussed her solo debut preparations and previewed Climax. She planned and hosted the Seoul meeting herself, personally presenting waffles, traditional sweets and signed Polaroids to KAMILIA.

Focus is R&B-pop, while Climax uses a modern-rock approach and includes Youngji’s lyric contribution. The official video develops board-game scenes and costumes. The release is distinguished from her 2017 digital song as a 2023 solo project with recordings, a physical edition and video.

RBW JAPAN hosted and planned the meeting, with the earliest presale announced through her official Japanese X account. VIP tickets offered front-area seats, a gift and a post-show two-shot photo session, continuing her themed meetings with HURMING.

She performed in episode 9, broadcast on February 27. The original song is from the IRIS soundtrack, and the programme’s performance was also released digitally.

RBW JAPAN handled hosting, planning and production. The official site listed general sales through mahocast, Pia and eplus and starts at 14:00 and 18:00. Its pink floral promotional visual expresses the spring theme of this particular meeting.
