She has been out of the limelight ever since.
Brown Eyed Girls’ Gain, who has been out of the spotlight after being fined for using propofol, is slowly returning to the industry.
Recently, she appeared on KFN Radio’s Miryo’s Freestyle with the other group members.
Back in 2021, an exclusive report from The Fact previously revealed that Gain was fined for illegally administering propofol. The Suwon District Court ordered Gain to pay a fine of ₩1 million KRW (about $884 USD).

Not long after, her agency released an official statement apologizing for her actions.
Since the incident, she has been staying out of the spotlight and going through a period of self-reflection. The recent radio broadcast was her first appearance in four years, and gained attention for her healthier and brighter image.
When asked how she was doing, she hinted at a possible comeback.
I am continuing my diet. Although nothing confirmed yet, I am preparing to show a good image soon.

When asked if it was a solo comeback, she replied, “Nothing is set in stone yet. I am working on various things like my physical strength and outward appearance.”
However, netizens felt that there nothing wrong with her return, as male celebrities with similar criminal records began promoting with little to no self-reflection periods.
- “Honestly, I hate both girls and guys, but seeing male actors return to the industry, I just have to avoid consuming them, so I don’t care if they return.”
- “People who have done far worse have returned so who cares at this point.”
- “I support Gain.”
- “It’s ok since other people are coming out too? What kind of logic is this?”
- “Joo Ji Hoon….Ha Jung Woo…”
- “I wish these people would just not come out at all. I hate them all and they still return.”
- “Male actors that have done far worse are promoting so it doesn’t matter if she returns.”
- “Yeah, welcome back, Gain.”
- “Male actors who have done worse return right away. If she reflected, four years, isn’t that enough.”
- “People who have done far worse are all active now. I miss Gain.”
- “Did they ever release articles like this when a male actor who has done far worse returned?”
- “People who have done worse than drugs are promoting so I don’t see the problem.”
- “Joo Ji Hoon is promoting with no problem.”
- “Joo Ji Hoon and Ha Jung Woo are actively promoting so who cares.”
- “Joo Ji Hoon is actively promoting, so what’s the big deal? I support her.”
- “Joo Ji Hoon is active in the industry, so of course she can too.”
- “All the male characters from ‘Along with the Gods’ are all druggies.”
- “Male celebrities that have done drugs are promoted with no problem. There’s no reason why Gain can’t promote.”
- “She did something wrong, but everyone else returns to the industry. Four years of self-reflection is a long time. It’s better than those that just return right away.”
