On Mnet Superstar K2 aired on 30th July, singer Bona was one of the participants taking part in the auditions. She said, “I was active as part of Chakra till 2005. After our disband, the company did not release any album for me. I need to be released from my contract with them in order to move to other agencies, but they didn’t allow me too,” explaining her 5 years of blank period.

She added, “I’ve thrown away my pride. I practised like crazy wanting to get up again. I think of this as the last turning point in my life.”

With the appearance of Bona at the auditions, the judging panel Lee SeungChul, Baek JiYoung and Lee HaNeul etc were shocked. Baek JiYoung commented, “I think I remember. I’ve seen her at my company and she was a sad kid.”

And when it comes to assessing, Lee SeungChul said, “You did not look at singing and dancing separately, I see synergy in combination of 2,” give Bona a pass and the first step to realising her dream.
