[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Singer 'Bolbbalgan4' Ahn Ji-young revealed the reason why she unfollowed former member Woo Ji-yoon on Instagram.

On the 3rd, Ahn Ji-young posted on her Instagram story, "I have been trending on real-time search all day long, receiving weekly psychological counseling due to malicious comments, criticism, and speculative articles, and I am struggling with depression," adding, "She appears in my dreams every night and torments me, and I have to fight insomnia. I couldn't endure it any longer, and it was painful every time I saw her, so I unfollowed."

She continued, "I looked at the lyrics of 'Dodo' by Natsseorinai (Woo Ji-yoon) over and over again. The same goes for 'Seom.' Regardless of the intention, it seemed like it was obviously about me, so I was very distressed for a while," she confessed.

She expressed discomfort, saying, "After seeing the reason why I unfollowed, do you feel somewhat relieved now? I am also a person and have emotions. It's my personal SNS, so whether you follow me or not, what does it matter? I don't want this to become an issue anymore."

She added, "I support that friend's changes and attempts," and "However, don't recklessly treat the precious memories of the people and fans who empathized and were comforted by Bolbbalgan4's songs by comparing who is better or worse."

On this day, the fact that Ahn Ji-young unfollowed Woo Ji-yoon's Instagram account was revealed mainly through online communities, sparking rumors of discord again.

Since Woo Ji-yoon left the group in April, rumors of discord between them have been raised several times.

Regarding this, Ahn Ji-young appeared on MBC's entertainment program 'Radio Star' on May 13 and said, "Woo Ji-yoon did not leave to pursue her own music," adding, "We ran too hard for four years. She often said she wanted to rest. I was upset by the speculation that she left due to discord."

However, after Woo Ji-yoon released a new song last month containing lyrics that seemed to target Ahn Ji-young, another rumor of discord arose.

Woo Ji-yoon's song 'Dodo' includes lyrics such as "You push me away / Take it as it is / Gaslighting / Luckily, I'm leaving."

In another song, 'Seom,' a part of the lyrics, "Whether you fill in the blanks or not," raised suspicions that it was a reference to Ahn Ji-young's song titled 'Please Fill in the Blanks.'

As the controversy spread, Woo Ji-yoon explained the rumors of discord, saying, "'Dodo' was worked on in 2019, and some parts were posted on Instagram, with the remaining parts becoming the main version," and "'Seom' is also a song whose guide was completely finished last summer. There is no difference now except for Instagram and other parts."

Meanwhile, Bolbbalgan4 debuted in the music industry in 2016 and gained popularity by releasing many hit songs such as 'Some,' 'To My Youth,' 'Galaxy,' and 'Workaholic.'

After Woo Ji-yoon left in April, they went their separate ways.
