On her first love…faith.

Yobi graced the cover page for  this month publication of a Korean Religion & Culture magazine. She is also featured in a rather long article where she speaks about her first love…”faith”. The article can be read here. She shared an in depth sharing about her love for her faith and her passion for music.  Sorry all, I can only afford to share 10% gist of what she have shared since I had to depend on the minute accuracy of  the google translator.

On “We Got Married”
She enjoyed the experiences and process of “We Got Married” reality TV show as she was allowed to showcase her real self in response to the given scenarios.

The competitive music scene
She expressed the trial and competitive market of the current music scene. Amidst the fierce competition, her fans support has kept her strong to keep on working hard and put in tireless effort in producing quality music.

Even suffering is part of love
She shared about the daunting experience in 2007 when she had to undergo a cyst surgery. Which is like a death penalty to singers if the surgery would have failed. She was rather depressed but her honest dialogues with God keeps her strong. Her faith and love for Him keeps her hope alive as she believes that life trials are personal encounters with God to keep one closer to Him.

Omona…Yobi is looking gorgeously lovely and young…

A conduit of joy and love
She shared about her devotion for humanitarian acts and also shared about the community and humanitarian services that she has been involved in. Since 2008, she has been an ambassador with World Vision. She has been involved in their sponsoring programme where she is sponsoring 2 children from Kenya & Albania. Last January, she went for a humanitarian trip to Vietnam as a part of her ambassadorship with World Vision. Candidly, Yobi mentioned that she is not a tycoon but she is very passionate about this area of service and will continue to render her service as long as she can afford to either monetarily or time wise.  On her last note, she also recommended a book titled, “Kyu’s regulations” by a reputable Korean author who wrote about his missionary service in Mongolia.

It is indeed an insightful reading to know more about Yobi’ spiritual side.  She has expressed some inspiring quotes which I am not able to translate. I guessed we shall hope for a kind soul to translate it if there is. Hoping & wishing. For now, I am loving the pictorials for this article, she is looking gorgeously lovely and YOUNG !!!…It is indeed a youthful fresh image that suits her personality. But of course, as revealed by her agency, she will probably be back with a sexy concept for her upcoming album. As we know she is an artiste of every medium and she always pulls off different images for each comeback. I was lovin’ her sultry alluring womanly image for “Half” too and is looking forward to her upcoming persona.

L- in da house

Yobi just updated her cyworld with new front status and beautifool photos of her. She looks really fresh and yeh-peu-dah…beautiful. We hope life has been good to you Yobi ssi and we shall look forward to your surprise when May comes.

Nice to see that Yobi takes the effort to at least give us a glimpse of what she has been up to. It wld be awesome if she joins in the twitter hype. Her friends Brian, Lynn and many other korean artistes are  active in the TWITTERVILLE.  At least that would be a good channel for overseas fans to communicate with her too.

Let’s reminisce her evergreen performances while waiting for her comeback this May. As you guys know that Hwayobifan channel by Crazsri with over 1000 channel subscribers has been suspended so over 200 ++ of her old videos went vanished too. Glad to find a kind soul at Youtube, babybluemusic425 for uploading Yobi’s evergreen performances from her early years of her singing career.

She looked really lovely in these videos and her remarkable singing is very much missed. As it has been a long while since we see Yobi singing with such intensity and passion. When May comes will we get to see that passion again ?
