[Sportschosun Kim Sohee] Jo Mina, formerly of the girl group Jewelry, shared meaningful updates by revealing the results of her ongoing self-improvement.
On the 22nd, Jo Mina posted a long message along with several photos on her account. In the released images, she is seen enjoying a completion ceremony while wearing a graduation cap and gown.
Jo Mina wrote, "2026 OCA completion ceremony + lecture," and added, "I completed the four-month OCA Leader Program."
She continued, "After putting on my graduation cap and gown and taking commemorative photos together, I also gave a lecture sharing sales know-how with the classmates who completed the program with me."
She did not stop at attending the ceremony. She also took the stage herself and spent time passing on the experience and know-how she had built up over the years.
Jo Mina also expressed how moved she was by her own celebratory moment, writing, "If you see the photo of me throwing my graduation cap, you can probably tell how excited I was, right? Haha."
She added, "I have grown even more through this." At the end, she left the hashtag "#A graduation cap in my 40s," showing pride in continuing to learn and take on challenges in her 40s.
In another post, Jo Mina revealed an even more special achievement. She said, "I won the MVP (No. 1) in the 2026 OCA Leader Program!"
Reflecting on the award, she said, "The applause I received for graduating at the top was truly overwhelming. The days I worked without a day off, the weekend meetings I attended with Kangho, and the days I went to the office first even when I was sick all flashed before my eyes."
The award carried even greater meaning because it brought back memories of her relentless efforts over the past months.
Jo Mina said, "As the insurance industry has generally become more difficult this year, I feel like I am putting in several times more effort than I used to." She showed that she continues to work hard despite the demanding environment.
She added, "If I can be a source of reassurance for the people who need my coverage, that alone makes me happy." Her words reflected both responsibility and sincerity toward her work.
Jo Mina has drawn attention for steadily expanding her career after taking on a new field beyond entertainment. Even in her 40s, she continues to learn, achieve results in her actual work, and keep pushing herself.
Meanwhile, Jo Mina debuted in 2002 as a member of Jewelry and gained public love. She married a non-celebrity man in 2020 and had a son, but the couple divorced in 2022. She is currently raising her son alone. Since 2024, she has been working at an insurance company and has continued to post strong results. More recently, she appeared on Seo In-young's YouTube channel "Seo In-young's Gaegwacheonseon," where she said she had been an insurance planner and "won the Insurance Queen title 22 times. I was also No. 1 nationwide," drawing attention. She also said her annual salary was in the hundreds of millions of won.
