On Wednesday, August 7, the GMA-7 press had the opportunity to interview Nancy McDonie and learn more about her as a Sparkle talent. In April 2024, Sparkle GMA Artist Center officially announced that Nancy had joined their roster of esteemed artists.
Nancy’s music career began in 2011 when she auditioned for ‘Korea’s Got Talent.’ In 2016, she competed in the reality survival show ‘Finding Momoland.’ Later that year, she debuted as a member of the girl group MOMOLAND, which produced several hit songs like ‘Bboom Bboom’ and ‘BAAM.’
During the interview, Nancy Jewel McDonie was asked about her biggest splurge since becoming a K-pop idol. After a moment of thought, she revealed that she didn’t regret splurging on a good refrigerator.
Nancy explained, “It’s kinda random, but I think my refrigerator. Cause like it was [my] first time buying my own refrigerator and I went shopping with my mom. And I think it was because I was like living alone for the first time and then I wanted to go shopping for a refrigerator cause you need one.”
With a promising career ahead in the Philippines and internationally, Nancy was asked what advice she would give to her younger self or someone just starting their K-pop journey.
Nancy shared with GMANetwork.com that she would emphasize the importance of self-care, both physically and mentally.
“I think always be humble and thankful. I think the most important part is taking care of yourself. Like mentally and physically, because I started at such a young age like I really don’t know how to take care of myself. So, I do want to go back and I wish I could have that trait that I knew how to take care of myself. Even like through all the busy schedules and currently happening. I think the most important thing is to be grounded and humble.”
