According to The Korea Timesrapper Yuk Ji Dam, who appeared on “Show Me the Money” in 2014 and “Unpretty Rapstar” in 2015 and 2016, recently uploaded a short video introducing herself as a “rookie manager” at a plastic surgery clinic. The video documented her daily routine, showing her commuting to work, changing into a professional uniform, organizing notes, and handling administrative tasks with a calm and diligent demeanor.

The clip quickly sparked discussion online, with many viewers noting the sharp contrast between her current image and the outspoken, rebellious persona she became known for during her television career.

“You’re so cool, manager,” one Instagram user commented under Yuk’s post.

“Wow, I’ve been a huge fan since ‘Unpretty Rapstar,’ so it’s amazing to suddenly see you pop up thanks to the social media algorithm,” another said.

Yuk, 29, last appeared on television and released music in 2016. Since then, she has largely stepped away from the entertainment industry after becoming embroiled in a dating controversy, according to Star News Korea.

Meanwhile, former “High School Rapper” contestant Ha Seon Ho, better known by her stage name Sandy, has also attracted public attention after revealing earlier this year that she now works as an English conversation instructor.

More recently, reports said she served as an English docent during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Gyeongju, South Korea.

Ha, 24, has also spoken openly about the financial realities influencing her future plans. Last year, she revealed that she had been accepted into a graduate program in the U.K. but was uncertain whether to pursue the opportunity because of the high tuition costs.

“I got accepted to a graduate school in the U.K. The tuition is 100 million won (US$67,800),” she said at the time. “I’m not sure whether it’s a field I can devote that much time and passion to considering the cost.”

Ha first gained recognition through appearances on the sixth season of “Show Me the Money” in 2017 and “High School Rapper” in 2018 and 2019. She officially debuted as an artist with a single album in 2019. Her most recent music release came out in 2020.
