In a post on her YouTube channel, “Gyeong Mingyeong,” Kang said on the 6th that she has been “struggling to film vlogs on my own,” adding that it has now been nine years.
“I’ve kept at it for nearly 10 years, so I thought people might recognize it by now, but I guess I still have a long way to go,” she said. She explained that one scene that drew attention was shot after she briefly set up a small tripod outside a restaurant so viewers could feel what she was feeling.
Kang said the angle was possible because Shanghai, unlike parts of Europe, does not carry as high a risk of pickpocketing. She said she was offering a detailed explanation because some viewers questioned whether she had traveled with staff despite describing it as a solitary trip. “If it hadn’t been a trip I took alone, there would have been no reason to say it that way,” she said.
Kang uploaded the video, titled “A solitary trip to Shanghai for the first time in 36 years,” to her channel on April 26. After a mid-video shot appeared to show someone filming her, some internet users raised suspicions that staff were present.
Kang debuted in 2008 as part of Davichi. After the group scored a hit with its first album’s title track, “I Love You Even If I Hate You,” it released songs including “8282,” “Don’t Say Goodbye” and “Time, Stop.”
