In the video, Cho-ah confessed, "'I debuted dreaming of becoming an idol, but at some point I didn't think I was supposed to work hard.'"
In particular, he made TWICE and BLACKPINK debut when they were struggling just in time. I thought, 'This is the highest point for me' because they are newbies", he said, explaining how he decided to leave.
Then "'If you add it here, you'll be crazy. It will be difficult if you do it more mentally' I wanted to find my happiness. I think I'll leave even if I go back now."
Cho-ah also said, `I never thought about retiring after leaving, but many people misunderstood it like that. I haven't done anything for 3 years, but I started promoting again when I started YouTube, and I want to prepare for the album," he said.
Meanwhile, Choa left in 2017 after serving as the main vocalist of AOA, and has since resumed broadcasting and music activities after a long hiatus, communicating with fans.
