A Former Idol’s Unexpected New Path
Former NU’EST member Aron has surprised fans after revealing that he’s been working a full-time office job while continuing his entertainment activities. The idol recently shared that, rather than simply taking time off, he decided he wanted to gain new experience by entering the corporate world. This unexpected career move has sent ripples of admiration through the K-Pop community, showcasing Aron’s remarkable desire for growth beyond the stage. It’s truly rare for an idol, especially one with over a decade of experience, to transition into a corporate setting in such a hands-on manner.
🐶ผมเพิ่งเข้าร่วมแผนกการตลาดในฐานะเด็กฝึกงานที่บริษัทผลิตภัณฑ์ดูแลเส้นผมชื่อ Tricell ผมแค่อยากลองทำงานในออฟฟิศสักพัก โอกาสดีๆ เข้ามา ผมเลยได้เข้ามา และถ้าไม่มีการถ่ายทำหรืออะไรทำนองนั้น ผมก็แทบจะอยู่ที่ออฟฟิศทุกวันเลย

While many might expect a long-serving idol to take a well-deserved break or focus solely on solo entertainment projects, Aron’s decision to embrace a completely different professional path highlights his genuine curiosity and drive. It speaks volumes about his character and willingness to step outside his comfort zone.
From Stage Lights to Office Life
“Recently, I’m interning at a haircare brand called Treecell for marketing. I always wanted to try working in an office. A good opportunity came. If I don’t have anything like shoots, I’m always at the company daily. “
He gets along well with the other workers, although he expressed that he misses being able to nap as an idol during downtime on the job. The stark contrast between the demanding, yet often flexible, idol schedule and the rigid 9-to-5 corporate grind is something many fans can now appreciate through his experience.
🐶ผมคิดว่าตัวเองเป็นคนที่ไวต่อคาเฟอีนแต่พอต้องมาทำงานออฟฟิศแบบนี้ ดูเหมือนว่าจะเริ่มเข้ากับกาแฟได้ดี ตอนทำกิจกรรมเป็นไอดอลมันจะเหนื่อย แต่พวกเรายังมีช่วงเวลาพักรออยู่บ้าง ก็เนียนนอนหลับได้ แต่พอมาทำงานบริษัท มันไม่มีช่วงเวลาพักรอแบบนั้นเลย ทำให้แอบนอนไม่ได้เลยครับ #아론 #Aaron https://t.co/DvQaCV9lm2 pic.twitter.com/u49dDPMLsF

The curiosity about where Aron landed in the corporate world was swiftly satisfied. According to Aron, he has been working as a marketing intern at Korean haircare brand Treecell for more than two months, maintaining a regular office schedule from Monday through Friday, 9 am to 6pm while also balancing filming commitments. The marketing team manager explained that initially he was worried about whether the celebrity could adapt to the corporate work environment. But it turned out there was no need to worry! This revelation not only shows Aron’s adaptability but also his humility in starting at an intern level, ready to learn from the ground up.
The revelation quickly spread across social media, with many fans admitting they initially assumed Treecell was simply a promotional collaboration rather than a genuine corporate position. After all, fellow member Baekho models for them, making the initial assumption quite logical. However, knowing Aron is genuinely committed to this role has only deepened fans’ respect for him.
Fans Applaud Aron’s Dedication
This unprecedented step by Aron has resonated deeply with fans, who are accustomed to seeing idols in a specific light. His decision to actively pursue a new professional skill set while maintaining his presence in entertainment is inspiring. Many also praised Aron for continuing to challenge himself after more than a decade in the entertainment industry, with fans applauding his willingness to learn an entirely new profession while keeping his promise to continue meeting fans. It’s a testament to his multifaceted talent and unwavering dedication, proving that idols can truly do it all. His journey serves as a powerful reminder that growth and learning are lifelong pursuits, regardless of one’s initial career path.
