EXID’s Solji recently made waves with her candid remarks on love, breakups, and her strict policy regarding ex-boyfriends. The beloved vocalist, known for her powerful singing and charismatic stage presence, shared her personal views during an appearance on Tak Jae Hoon’s popular YouTube channel, “No Back Tak.” Her honesty offered a refreshing and relatable glimpse into the emotional realities of a K-Pop idol’s life, resonating deeply with fans.
From K-Pop Anthem to Trot Tune: Solji’s New Musical Journey
On August 26th, Solji featured in a video titled “EXID Solji, ‘That guy who once chased after me despite all the teasing’,” where she delved into various aspects of her career and personal life. The conversation quickly turned to her recent venture into trot music, a genre gaining significant popularity among older generations in Korea. Solji revealed that her mother was a major influence, strongly recommending she participate in a trot competition program. “It’s a show that older generations really like, so my mom said, ‘It would be good for you to go on,’” Solji explained, detailing how this encouragement led her to embrace the traditional Korean music style.
Having just released her own trot song, Solji showcased her new track, “The One And Only You,” with an impromptu live performance on the show. Tak Jae Hoon, impressed by her vocal prowess, praised her, remarking, “You really sing well.” He then noted, “Trot requires skill,” before steering the conversation towards more personal territory, asking Solji if she had ever experienced “heartbreaking love.”
Heartbreak and Honesty: Solji’s Dating Philosophy
Solji, with her characteristic honesty, admitted, “Yes, I have. We talked when we broke up. We split because of personality differences. Sometimes, breakups happened because someone was at fault.” Her open confession resonated with many, offering a candid glimpse into the emotional realities of a K-Pop idol’s life, often hidden from the public eye.
Tak Jae Hoon, known for his probing questions, pressed further, asking, “Haven’t you done ballads too? Have you ever purposely ditched a guy to get into the right emotional mood?” Solji quickly dispelled this amusing but unlikely rumor, clarifying, “That’s a misunderstanding. I’ve never broken up because of emotions to focus on singing.” This statement reassured fans that her artistic dedication doesn’t come at the cost of personal relationships in such a dramatic way.
Drawing the Line: Solji’s Strict Policy on Exes
The playful interrogation continued as Tak Jae Hoon then inquired, “Who is the guy you bring up the most?” Solji, maintaining her witty composure, joked, “It’s different every time.” The hosts and viewers alike found humor in her evasive but entertaining answer.
However, when fellow host Shin Gyu Jin expressed a lighthearted concern, “That person might be watching this broadcast,” Solji immediately drew a clear and firm boundary regarding past relationships. She stated emphatically, “I don’t meet people I’ve already broken up with. Even if they contact me, I block them. If I run into them on the street by chance, I’d immediately turn away.” Her decisive stance on ex-boyfriends left no room for doubt, showcasing a strong and independent side that fans admire. Solji’s frankness provided a refreshing and relatable perspective on navigating personal life in the public eye, solidifying her image as a truly authentic artist.
