[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Gayoung, a former member of the girl group Stella, revealed the story behind her trauma caused by wearing excessively revealing outfits during her activities, which still makes her wear long sleeves and long pants even in the middle of summer.

On the new MBN variety show "Miss Back," which airs for the first time on the 8th, Gayoung from Stella opened up about the trauma she experienced during her singing career.

Gayoung recalled, "After debuting with the group Stella in 2011, I dreamed of being an innocent girl group, but when there was little response, we transformed our image with a shocking 19+ concept and promoted that way," adding, "It was something I couldn't be happy or sad about because the schedule increased a lot. We ended up going for more provocative concepts."

She said, "On the day of the music video shoot, I strongly opposed the suddenly changed provocative outfit, but eventually the photos were released," and added, "Because of that trauma, I still can't wear short sleeves or shorts." Upon hearing Gayoung's story, Baek Ji-young and Song Eun-i could not hide their anger.

In particular, Gayoung tearfully shared, "During my activities with the shocking 19+ concept, my mother had to hear people ask her, 'Why is your daughter doing this?'"

After hearing Gayoung's story, Song Eun-i tearfully said, "Because of adults who are unqualified, your youthful memories have become memories you want to forget, and I feel sorry about that."

Meanwhile, the program will air its first episode at 11 PM on the 8th.
