Hyojung: Oh My Girl's leader, debuted for 4 years but still in debt, had to borrow money due to poverty

Hyojung is known as the leader of Oh My Girl - a girl group that is making waves in the Kpop market. Few people know that she once faced a period of poverty, not having enough money to buy a computer, even though she had debuted as an idol for 4 years at that time.

Choi Hyo-jung, better known by her stage name Hyojung, is a South Korean singer and leader of the girl group Oh My Girl. Born on July 28, 1994 in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, Hyojung has become one of the prominent faces in the K-pop music scene thanks to her talent and dedication.

Hyojung was born and raised in Anyang, a city in Gyeonggi Province. She showed a passion for music and performing from a young age. Before joining WM Entertainment, Hyojung was a trainee at Soul Shop Entertainment. She only spent 6 months training at WM Entertainment before debuting with Oh My Girl in 2015.

On April 20, 2015, Hyojung officially debuted as a member of Oh My Girl with their first mini album "Oh My Girl". The group quickly attracted public attention thanks to their fresh musical style and cute image.

In 2017, Hyojung participated in the show "King of Mask Singer" under the name "Moon". Her appearance on the show allowed her to showcase her excellent singing ability and received much praise from the audience. In April 2018, Hyojung, along with Arin and Binnie, debuted in Oh My Girl's first sub-unit, Oh My Girl Banhana. The sub-unit brought a fun and unique musical style, different from the main group's image.

In 2019, Hyojung started her personal YouTube channel "JJung2eonni", where she shares about her daily life and musical activities. That same year, she also became a DJ for the show "Avenger Girls" on Naver Now. Also in 2019, Hyojung joined Oh My Girl on Mnet's show "Queendom". This is a competition between popular girl groups to find the best group. Oh My Girl's appearance on this show helped the group attract more fans and affirm their position in the K-pop music industry.

In 2020, Hyojung was chosen as the host of "Get It Beauty" on OnStyle channel. She also participated in singing the soundtrack for the movie "Hyena" with the song "Today, Just Like Yesterday".

In 2020, on tvN's On and Off, Oh My Girl's leader Hyojung revealed that she didn't have enough money to buy a new computer in 2019. On and Off is a reality show that explores the contrast between idols' private lives and public images.

While guesting on On and Off, Hyojung was moving into a new one-room apartment after the Oh My Girl members were given permission to live separately by their company. The girls' new apartments were provided by the company.

In the video that aired, Hyojung was seen arranging her desk with a new set of computers. The hosts immediately recognized that the idol's iMac was a new model on the market and started admiring it.

Hyojung revealed that she actually borrowed money from her sister to buy this machine. Depending on the model and size, her iMac costs between $1,227 and $2,658.

Hyojung revealed that she pays her sister about $170 a month and recently paid off her debt. The post raised a lot of questions from fans about the idol's situation. They were confused because Hyojung didn't have enough money to buy a computer.

The financial situation of artists, especially emerging artists, remains a mystery to the public. However, based on the fact that the Oh My Girl members have been living separately, it can be assumed that they have paid off their training and debut expenses to the company.

In 2021, Hyojung was chosen by Walt Disney Company Korea to sing the Korean version of the song "Lead The Way" in the animated film "Raya and the Last Dragon". This was a big step in her career, helping her reach an international audience.

In addition to her group activities, Hyojung has also participated in many solo projects. She has released many OSTs for popular dramas such as "Fantastic", "Queen of Mystery 2", "My Only One", "Legal High", and "Hyena".

Hyojung is known for her bright smile and cheerful personality. She always tries to create a positive and supportive environment for her group members. Hyojung also enjoys watching dramas and variety shows, and she often shares about these interests on social media platforms.
