Having made his comeback as a solo artist, Jin Tae Hwa from idol group Battle revealed a strange a twist of fate involving UEE and Yubin.

During the filming of MBC ‘Quiz to Change the World,’ which was aired on the 5th, Jin Tae Hwa shared stories of his lifestyle as an elite trainee. In 2005, Jin Tae Hwa was able to emerge victorious on Mnet cable show ‘Battle Shinhwa,’ where Brown Eyed Girls‘ Ga-In and Big Bang‘s Seung Ri could not. He then continued on to debut as a member of Battle.

Jin Tae Hwa expressed, “Back then, there were two dongsengs who I met during practices: After School‘s UEE and Wonder Girls‘ Yubin. I said to them proudly, ‘Since oppa will be debuting first, I will layout a path for you guys so just trust oppa and follow me.’ However, they both left the company and became much more successful than me.” His last comment made all the viewers laugh.

He does make a good point, however, as both his pupils are currently doing very well for themselves. While UEE is starring in numerous dramas, such as SBS “You’re Beautiful” and MBC “Queen Seondeok,” Yubin is advancing into the U.S. market and even managed to rank #76 in the Hot Billboard 100 for her group’s single Nobody.

Even those who were eliminated from ‘Battle Shinhwa’ experienced a turning point in their musical career that rose them and their respective groups to fame.
