But the story that gained the most attention was Jeongyeon‘s tearful story about her grandmother.

Jeongyeon first revealed when she first dreamt of becoming an idol.

I was really chubby as a kid, so I went to aerobics class to lose weight. I learned to sing and dance there, and that’s when I wanted to become an idol.

Jeongyeon also shared how close she was with her grandmother all the way until she was in her second year of middle school.

I used to hold talent shows in front of my grandmother. I lived with my grandmother until I was in my second year of middle school. Both of my parents worked, so my grandmother raised me.
