- Minors will not be able to work more than 7 hours a day

for Wassup’s energetic and wonderfully talented main vocalist
Read facts about Kim Jiae below:
2 years ago, the cast of Miss Back released the song ‘Finale’ together.
The group comprised of: Nada (Wassup), Subin/Dalsooobin (Dal Shabet), Raina (After School/Orange Caramel), Yujin (The Ark), Gayoung (Stellar), Soyul (Crayon Pop) & Sera (Nine Muses)
2 years ago today, Nada teamed up with Raina (After School) and Soyul (Crayon Pop) for the fourth challenge on MBN’s Miss Back.
They competed for the song ‘Tantara’. Nada and her team won this round and therefore the project group ‘Resonar’ was formed.
A fan on instagram posted a video of Wassup performing on SBS - & the members interacted in the comments:
Dain “we didn’t have in-ear monitors back then, only live vocals🔥”
Nada: “it was a time when I was scolded for sticking out my tongue on stage”

Did you know ⁉️
In 2020, Nada formed a dodgeball team ‘Blood Nine’ that included fellow Wassup member Jinju (Nari also participated in a match), 9Muses’ Sojin and singer Im Dai.🏐
All proceeds from the matches and YouTube channel went to charities that support single mothers.
“I debuted at a late age but the juniors who are debuting are getting younger and younger. It was difficult as an adult to manage my mental health, it would be even more difficult if I was younger. I hope you don’t lose confidence in hard times and love and care a lot.”
- Nada
Look how happy she is 🥹 this is why it is soooo important to support Jiae.
She’s had years of struggling and couldn’t find any company support for her music because of sexuality. Now she’s finally singing her own song, proud of who she is and with so much love from others.
