NAM JIHYUN, former member of the group 4MINUTE, has transformed into a barre instructor.
On June 5, a video titled “Let’s work out Yura, not ballet but bar-re with #Nam Jihyun (유라야 운동하자 발레 아니고 바.레 with #남지현)” was published on the YouTube channel “유라유라해”.
In the unveiled video, we find Yura starting barre. That day, Yura met NAM JIHYUN and exclaimed with surprise: “It’s been so long!” while expressing her joy to see her again.
Yura spoke about this reunion after a long period by saying: “I think it’s really been almost 10 years for us. In my memory, the time when we were doing promotions together was that of “What’s your name?”.”
NAM JIHYUN smiled by saying: “It was perhaps at the time of “Crazy”. It’s been 11 years. Nothing has changed.”
Then, NAM JIHYUN looked at Yura and explained: “I think you must be very good at sports. I was asked today to come to train you, Yura.”
Yura asked: “You’re the one teaching me? You’re an instructor?”, and NAM JIHYUN surprised Yura by replying: “I’m the master of the place here. As a barre instructor.” NAM JIHYUN said about barre: “It’s a high-intensity exercise based on ballet. Ballet movements are integrated into it, but with an intensity close to fitness. It’s called barre. Abroad, it was popular about 20 years ago, but in Korea, it’s just been 3 years. It’s little known. Pilates blends into it too, and all sports are integrated into it.”
