Jo Min-ah, a former member of the girl group Jewelry, has apologized for a past controversy involving the sale of sweet bean jelly.
On July 1, a video titled "The Reason Seo In-young Did Not Invite Jo Min-ah to Her Wedding (+ First Look at Jo Min-ah's Home, Son Kang-ho)" was posted on Seo In-young's YouTube channel.
During the visit to Seo In-young's home, Jo Min-ah remarked, "I thought I had no fans or haters," to which Seo In-young responded, "You had haters because of the sweet bean jelly incident."
In 2015, Jo Min-ah faced backlash for selling a set of sweet bean jelly for 120,000 won, which many considered overpriced.
Jo Min-ah explained, "At that time, I was new to the working world and didn't understand the realities of life. I wanted to present a product made with good ingredients at cost."
Seo In-young advised her, saying, "Just admit that selling the sweet bean jelly was a mistake," to which Jo Min-ah replied, "The jelly was expensive. I apologize," bowing her head in remorse.
Seo In-young debuted with Jewelry in 2002 and gained popularity through hits like "One More Time" and "Cinderella," as well as her candid charm on the 2008 MBC variety show "We Got Married."
Jo Min-ah debuted with Jewelry in 2002 but left the group in 2006. She married a non-celebrity man in 2020 but divorced in 2022 and is now raising her son alone.
