[Sportschosun Lee Ge-eun] As Jewelry performed as a full group for the first time in 20 years, attention is once again turning to the relationship between Seo In-young and Cho Minah, who had previously been at odds.
On the 12th, the YouTube channel Seo In-young's Gaegwacheonseon featured Seo In-young, Park Jung-ah, Lee Ji-hyun, Cho Minah, and Ha Ju-yeon gathering together and singing Jewelry's hit songs.
Jewelry performed six songs live: "Again," "Tonight," "I Like You," "Super Star," "One More Time," and "Love Story."
After the performance, the group held a brief two-minute talk. Cho Minah, who had not appeared in group shoots with the other Jewelry members because of her rift with Seo In-young, drew particular attention with her remarks. Cho Minah said, "I am so grateful that so many people love In-young. I am very happy and glad that a friend I care about is receiving love again and can show her talent the way In-young used to. I hope there will be another great stage where we can perform together as Jewelry." Seo In-young wrapped her arm around Cho Minah's waist and looked at her with a wistful expression.
Seo In-young had not invited Cho Minah to her wedding in 2023 because of their conflict. In a recent appearance on the YouTube channel Not_found, Seo In-young mentioned the rift with Cho Minah, saying, "Minah and I used to have fun together, but later we stopped contacting each other. That is something I am sorry about. Minah always reached out to me, but I was going through some difficult times." She added, "I wanted her to just agree with me on everything, but Minah was not like that. I did not want to hear those words, so I simply stopped contacting her. I think that was my shortcoming. I did not even invite her to my wedding. I am sorry."
Although Seo In-young had mentioned her conflict with Cho Minah in a video just a month ago, their reunion drew fresh attention.
Netizens reacted warmly, saying things like, "Seo In-young is truly magnanimous for bringing up Cho Minah at this timing and inviting her, and Cho Minah is also magnanimous for showing up and proving her skills," "Cho Minah, who came when she was called, is even more impressive. What a cool person," and "It is not only Cho Minah who looks cool for responding, but Seo In-young also looks cool for planning this and reaching out with courage."
