Mia recently announced to fans through her Instagram channel that she is now working in a hospital, sharing a photo of herself dressed in scrubs.

She did not reveal what position she holds or what kind of hospital she works at, but judging by the fur on her clothes, many are speculating that Mia may have taken up a career in veterinary medicine.

The update marks the second surprising job reveal for Mia this year alone. Back in October, a Chinese netizen struck up a conversation with the barista at a coffee shop, who mentioned that she used to be an idol. That barista turned out to be Mia, with die-hard fans sharing that she’d been working at the coffee shop since the summer.

Mia’s post-idol life comes after a turbulent period for EVERGLOW. In June 2025, the group’s exclusive contracts with Yuehua Entertainment officially expired, just months after member Yiren publicly spoke out about the group’s lack of income since their 2019 debut.

Since then, E:U, Sihyeon, Onda, and Aisha have continued under the EVERGLOW name, signing with CHXXTA Company in September 2025. Mia, on the other hand, seems to have decided to live life as an ordinary citizen — and in the view of many EVERGLOW fans, it’s a great choice.
