The veteran actress and Hallyu star makes a dramatic comeback with the girl group RiRi.

Choi Yeon-cheong, a veteran actress and prominent Hallyu star active between Korea and China, has shed 26kg in five months after giving birth and re-debuted as RiRi’s member, Gyu-ri. On the 14th, RiRi’s official social media released a short-form video titled “A Real-Life Version of My Ultimate Bias Debuted Five Months After Giving Birth,” showing her transformation from 72kg during pregnancy to 46kg as she returns to the group. Fans have greeted her comeback with enthusiasm, referring to her as the “real-life bias.” As part of RiRi’s momentum, the group released its first mini-album, RUSH. RiRi is also slated to hold four fan meetings in Tokyo, Japan, later this month. Additionally, Choi Yeon-cheong has built a global footprint by balancing activities in Korea and China and will continue RiRi activities with Serii, a former Dal Shabet member.
