I got very sad when she mentioned her family tried to discourage her by telling her she was just average, I can’t imagine the pressure she felt, but she’s very talented and I’m glad she recovered

I still remember how shocking it was for her to admit that her period just stopped because she was so underweight. There are so many girls that are her size that are promoting in girl groups right now.

my heart actually sank at 12:30. I was not expecting that at all may they rest in peace :'(

I was already crying when kiss kiss was mentioned. It's horrible what these girls had to go through, but sojung especially with her disorder. I'm glad she is so strong and doesn't let anyone push her back again, even after all the trauma she went through. each year on september 3rd and 7th, I think about eunbi and rise and how beautiful they have shined here and continue to shine on ♥

at 2:20, when Sojung is talking about her "diet diary", you can see some of the members look a bit concerned, especially Ashley. I think they were very aware that Sojung was struggling with her disorder. It's so, so horrific what these girls went through... Rise and Eunbi would be proud of the girls for staying strong and healthy.

I remember when Ladies Code debuted, hey had a funky Wonder Girls feel and quickly become one of my favorite girl groups. A group with incredible potential that ran into so many unfortunate situations. RiSe and EunB's passing was so traumatic, but I'm glad Sojung (and the other members) are in a healthy place both physically and mentally.

also a note: the accident happened on sojung's birthday, so she still struggles to this day to celebrate it...

Her voice is unique in kpop, it's the type of voice that I love. I hope she keeps singing for as long as she wants.

I can't remember when this got removed but here's the update. Despite what happened the girls all seem to be doing ok. Ashley is also pretty active on social media and interviews I think. Zunys the only one who seems to have distanced herself from the idol life after 2020.

It's actually amazing how she never relapsed (that we know of), her recovery is really inspiring. She looks so happy now, her coves are amazing too I wish she got more views. Sojung was really brave for opening up about an*rex*a too. Even the hosts were condescending @ 6:00. There are some idols right now you could speculate also have an eatindisorder and the public hates them so much for being thin. I can't imagine how much pressure they're under. The public is way less forgiving of idols underweight suffering than the latter.

Just awful, Ladies Code deserved so much more, I only got into them in 2015 as thats when I properly joined the kpop scene and finding out about Rise & EunB's deaths was so heartbreaking, the fact that it happened on Sojung's birthday too? It's awful to this day she's said she struggles to celebrate her birthday as she feels its wrong to do so. She didn't even know her members had passed until later after she woke up from her coma, one of the saddest moments to ever occur within kpop. Ladies code really deserved so much more, their music has always been good, I have a special place in my heart for the galaxy album since although quite melancholic, as it was their first release after the car accident, the songs were so beautiful. Miss them all the time.

The Sojung video Is one of my favorite videos from this channel. All of the girls in this video have been through so much, even given their lives to the industry. Her voice is one of the most underrated in K-pop. She is a true pioneer for women’s health in the music industry.

I hate how everyone in the interview was acting concerned but when she talked about her diet before everyone praised her. They love seeing these girls be skinny and then act as if they cared about their well-being. Her body at the lowest weight does not look too different to me than somi or hitomi at their lowest. But because they say they’re healthy and eat well, everyone relaxes and the moment someone brings it up is a “hater” and talking about her body is out of limits because it could make it worse. Like please, no. We must show concern when idols get too skinny, it’s not the same as commenting when they gain weight, there is simply no health risks when they’re a bit chubby or whatever but when they look like sojung at her worst I think we should let them know we are worried, they don’t live in the same environment we do, theirs is 1000x more toxic, their bosses are telling them to lose weight, they could very well have anorexia and hide it from us and tell us they’re eating well.

The diet diary will never NOT shock me. Korea change a bit since them, but it was just bizarre seeing not only Sojung, but many other idols showcasing their E.D behaviors like that. The media and culture embraced these behaviours to the point it was hard for them to see they had an E.D, beucase they were alwas praised for it.

Ladie’s code has been through a lot. I wish they could have a comeback like EXID and Brave Girls

Always the most talented idols who suffer. Luna, Wendy, Wheein, Sojung... :( People say they hate the visuals spot yet put them on a pedestal. All kpop fans are liars. they are so mean to the other positions when they don't look perfect.

8:26 This is something that also happened to Ashley. I used to watch her podcast Get Real and in one of the episodes she opened up about how when she was training at Cube she lost her period for a year thanks to her unhealthy diet consisting of cherry tomatoes or a salad for a whole day, then got it back when she moved to Polaris but lost it again after debuting and was forced to go on a diet again...

oh i’m so glad she’s better

The members are so encouraging towards her recovery. RiSe being with her when Sojung talked about her condition made me a bit teary 😢❤

Ladies' Code feels like yesterday. I can't believe it's been a decade. WHERE DID THE TIOME GO D=

ladies code haven‘t technically disbanded, and they still meet up from time to time…love their bond ♥

So proud of how open she has been about it and her recovery ❤️

Dieting isn't the worst this girl has gone through , the accident was the absolute cherry on top. Their galaxy song is so deep and beautiful. I still miss those pretty pretty days

She was definetly born to be on stage. The fact that she became a Kpop Idol that fast against her parents will.

SoJung was one of my first kpop ults. I have such a special love and appreciation for her and Ladie's code as a group.

Such a heartbreaking story~ I’m so glad they seem to be better now ㅠㅠ

I’ve been a LC fan since debut and even followed Ashley as a dance cover artist on KZfaq years before then. I’ve always thought Sojung has an incredibly unique voice and look. I’m surprised she’s not more famous, she should be at Lee Hi’s level of fame. When LC debuted, I honestly thought they changed the sound of kpop at the time. I’ll never forget them. RIP EunB and RiSE 💖

2:35 this is heartbreaking to watch. all her members looking visibly pained hearing about her experience, and eunb trying to look positive and smile but failing :( as a fellow lavely (ladies code fan) i am so proud about the woman sojung and the other 2 members became even after their traumatizing experience, i hope rise and eunb are happy in heaven or wherever they are now

She’s beautiful and has a wonderful voice. I hope the three of them can reunite soon.

This woman has my undying admiration and respect. Everything that she has been through must have been so difficult for her but she came out on the other side of it the woman she is today. I'm grateful that she's still with us.

i miss ladies code so much, man :L

I miss her so much, I get sad thinking of all the old groups we'll never see again

i watched the first installment of this video years ago, and your words "to flourish among the living" have stuck with me since. it really helped me in my own recovery journey. I cannot imagine the pain these ladies went through, their strength is insurmountable and so very inspiring.

LADIES CODE will be regular guests on Arirang Radio's Sound K every friday starting from this week‼️

her voice is so powerful i love it

Its so tragic i hope she heals i miss ladies code so much 😭

I'm sorry but these people interviewing her and being all concerned are just hypocrites. They will praise girls for being skinny and starvation, while only showing concern when one is actually diagnosed with an ED

Such strong and brave girls. It hurts so bad even if I am not a LC fan but seeing here their struggles hurts so bad I cried.

I love that she was so open and talked about it realistically

one of my favorite idols in the industry. she and all the members of ladies’ code are so unbelievably inspiring. i adore them.

i was 13 when I found ladies code, back in 2013. I was 14 when rise and eunb died. I was so incredibly heartbroken because they were my favorite group. I cried for so long. I can never forget it

I'm a huge fan of Ladies' Code. SoJung had so many struggles in her career but she never give up on doing what she loves. In 2022 she was acting in musical Lizzie along with WJSN's Yeonjung (they kissed cof...cof). She's one of the most beautiful, talented and strong woman I ever saw and I'm very grateful to know her story and enjoy her incredible work.

Oh, dear... The part of the video where she talked about her eating disorder really touched me because I went through the same (I had an*rex*a...), with the very same thoughts. I hated myself for being hungry and pushed my limits till I lost my period too and become very weak und underweight. Thank God I started to recover a year before and today I'm so much better and happier :3 She is a very brave, strong and talented lady I wish the best for her

What happened with Ladies Code is so tragic. I remember listening to their debut song all the time and loving their music! Sojung and Rise were my favorite but Rise became my bias. It was so sad when I heard they were in a car accident and EunB and Rise passed :(

Ladies code will forever have a special place in my heart it’s still difficult sometimes to think about all that’s happened but I’m so happy they continued moving forward despite it all. I will admit I cried watching this sojung is so talented. 😭

At “I ate 500 calories a day” she should have been counseled for an eating disorder

She has been through so much. Finding happiness with yourself isn't an easy thing. And specially when your parents dishearten and criticize you. Because the most important people for you aren't there when you needed the most. I'm glad that she got strong and dealt with it.

I feel like she is one of the only K-pop idols who people just leave alone when they gain weight and all because you really don’t see any Comments about her weight because I feel like most people understand what she’s been through and they just gonna drop it

I wish them all the best. I remember the accident happening and then waited for them to come back. I missed their old cheerful songs but rain and galacy are so good that you need to see it. Old ladies code songs are really great too. All those years I didn't see anything wrong with Sojungs weight. She always looked pretty and plus 10 kg never changes anything for me in idols. I wish them a full recovery from a trauma. Once a host asked them if they felt guilty that they survived and they cried.

Sojung became one of my favorite vocalist since debut and remain in my top 3. I can't believe how strong she is after all she's been throught. I am glad that her company treated her after they found out but I also wish more companies would detect issues beforehand. We cannot have men and women being that thin anymore.

Be neutral about diet talks was the best thing she did. She's such a great singer and also a recovery inspiration

10:17 Regarding this part, Ashley revealed that LADIES' CODE had a very hard time when So Wonderful released.

She has an amazing voice. Very powerful

her voice is so beautiful

Sojung is one of my favourite vocalists in kpop. I hope the girls and their family will live a peaceful happy life

She is my favorite singer in the whole kpop industry, hey, you should do one for Zuny her co-partner in the group, I think it's a similar situation, because she started in her weight so well, then in the comebacks she was noticing her thinner, a clear example in the comeback of Feedback.

thank you for reuploading!

I'm so proud of her. I hope she never stops singing 💖

Honestly, she’s so strong and talented and such an inspiration in so many ways, I wish that Ladies’ Code were still active, but I pray for her continued success. Her honesty and her particular vocals are such a breath of fresh air. 💖

i actually have some of their songs in my spotify playlists that i really love without knowing this group had such tragic history. they all seem so talented and beatiful, they went through so much. :(( i did not expect the death of the two members... my heart goes out to their family, fans and all of the members!! this is one of the kpop stories that made me feel devastated. all i wish now is for them to stay healthy. i love sojung's voice so much!! i coudn't stop repeating her parts in this video ;;

Same thing is happening with Wonyoung yet blind stans insist that she's just built like that. Smh.

she is one of my ultimate vocalists

Thanks 💜

missing your videos, you’re really talented! Your hard work should be more recognized but I have to say that I’m a really big fan

ladies code are on an hiatus, they have not disbanded they left that god awful company but they are still together

It feels like yesterday that I discovered Ladies’ Code and became a fan; their amazing voices, their spark while on stage was undeniable, and Sojung quickly became my favorite member, even though shortly after I loved every member the same. I was also concerned about her weight, and speculated as many other lavelys did, that it was because of the pressure of the beauty standard in Korea. She came forward about her ED, many truthfully supported her, and she rised and shone. Then the accident happened… I will never accept the fact that their popularity never recovered from that, they went though so much and deserved so much better. At least they are better know, but I honestly miss Ladies Code so much. ❤

Stay strong, Sojung ❤️🙏🏼

Oh thank you

i want to cry everytime i see or hear about the accident

i loved ladies code, but truthfully after rise and eunb i just couldn't listen to their music anymore. i was the same way with shinee for a long time after jonghyun, and the same with f(x). i forgot sojung was going through this. i am so glad she recovered. if i were her i also wouldn't have cared about my weight after that. my best friend of fifteen years passed away almost a year ago in a highway collision so this case hits me even harder now. i miss him all the time. i know the pain they go through. ♥

I have never heard of her before and it's sad that it happened with this video, however what struck me was her beautiful voice ! I really hope she can make a name for herself, she more than deserve it

I Love Ladies Code

Damm, for a second there, I thought that was the The Undertaker at the beginning of the video 🤣🤣. I was thinking, "When the hell did he become a talent judge?" 😳 😅😂

I was not ready for that. wow.

I’ve always loved ladies code and sojung has always been my bias

Good luck on her career, she seems hardworking 🙏✨

sobbing like a baby rn

I knew of ladies'code before this video but I didn't know they were in such a fatal crash. It really shocked me I started to cry.

has anyone noticed itzy ryujin’s recent weight loss?

I wasn't a fan of ladies code but I did know Rise from shows.....Their accident was truly devastating. So jung has an amazing voice, she gives me similar vibes as Lee hi

i miss them so much…❤

I have so much respect for her. After all the trauma her and the memebers she has left.They don't need the company ,since they gave up on them because of money, they forgot the trauma they went through and was like it was so easy to pass. (It's not)I hope group have calm life and treasure those memories. Am glad they stood up for themselves and move on because they have morals and values for themselves. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤xxxxxxxxx

RIP to the beautiful girls Rise and EunB, they are missed terribly. 💗💗💗

I follow ashley on ytb and ig i didn’t she was in that kpop group im so shocked!?I didn’t know that 2 of the members died i hope they rest well🕊

I missed her 💜💜💜

15:45 "the rain" was the second part of their healing trilogy, the third part was scrapped because of jaden jeong

Omfg the passing of the members!!!! 😭😭 I did not expect to see that here! I remember years ago reading about it just now recognize their names. I can't believe it was this group omg they've gone through sooo much. The anorexia was heartbreaking (from experience too) and the accident rocked my world!! :'( imagine being idols and traveling back from a job and not making it. Omfg! 😰

Please take care of yourself sojung you are really great performer of ladies code. Stay strong for others and yourself. Just remember everything happens for a reason. Don't worries about everything okay? You Did very well. Stay healthy and eat as much as you want it .

I remember the accident like it was yesterday. EunB and Rise were my bias and I sang both Im fine Thank You Versions everydaaay

It's so sad to hear about what happened to Sojung because she really struggled with her weight during the first year of the ladies code debut but what was really heartbreaking was that Sojung had her birthday ruined when she and her members got involved in a horrific traffic car accident that caused EunB and Ri-sae to die in 2014. No one should ever have to endure what Sojung and her former members have to go through.

"When we take group photos they often photoshop us slimmer." No shit, but people still strive to look like the pictures of idols they see that are heavily airbrushed and photoshopped. It's saddening.

I always hope these girls are well.. I knew about sojung’s struggle, but also hearing about ashley’s horror stories of being starved by her company. Looks like they werent treated right until the end. The fact they were supposed to have a full trilogy when they came back after the accident, but jaden jeong left them and moved onto loona (whom he also left). They just deserved so much better. Wish the best for them

I still remember the day the car crash was announced, the whole kpop community mourned for EunB. Even sadder news came after RiSe's death was announced. I'm happy she recovered well in her journey.

Sojung 🥺 pobrecita dd mi bebe me alegro que ahora ya coma mas 🥺

I did not know she went through such a accident, She went through so much I just wanna give her hug

if i had a voice like that, i'd never shut up

I remember my mom buying a CD with kpop mvs and there's ladies code mv ( it has dolls on it) and that's was my first favorite kpop mv. Sad to hear about the accident

Amazing video 👏🏼🙂!!! So sad and horrible that members passed away 😮😞, I hope that they’re resting in peace 🤍🕊, and the remaining members living their lives happily and healthy 😮… PS: If you have time 😮, I would love to see a video about TWICE Jeongyeon 😮🙂…

Oml Better Than Me just makes me ball like it is suck a great song and perfume and skyline lights up ballad history we love sojung!!!

The accident happened the day of my birthday, it’s crazy how accidents like these happen and we don’t even know until later, months or even years
