Ex-Gugudan singer Hana starts new chapter as flight attendant 5 years after group’s breakup
Hana, a former member of the K-pop girl group Gugudan, has begun a new career as a flight attendant, drawing attention five years after stepping away from the K-pop scene. On Wednesday, Hana interacted with fans on social media. After she posted several photos taken overseas, prompting curiosity about her whereabouts, one fan asked, “Unni, did you emigrate?” She replied, “I have cats waiting for me. I can't do that.” She revealed her new profession when another fan asked if she was working or studying abroad. "I am working as a flight attendant, traveling all over the place," she said. Hana debuted with Gugudan in 2016. After the group disbanded in December 2020, she briefly pursued a career in acting. Seeking a more stable profession, she eventually left acting to enter the job market. Fans are cheering on her "second act" now that she has confirmed her new role five years after the group's breakup.
