Even after my debut, I was in a relationship with a boyfriend. However, after we broke up, I couldn’t help but wonder if it was because of my situation. Because my situation was like that, I just assumed he thought I wasn’t good enough. My inferiority complex was really severe.

Before we went viral, I always felt apologetic to my company. The reason was because they kept pushing for new album releases, even though we weren’t seeing any results. We were unable to rake in any type of financial gain from them, but the label kept investing in us. We weren’t able to do anything for them.

I realized at some point that my friends began getting jobs or getting ready for marriage. However, I was still trying to pursue a dream that I have had from back in college. I felt like I was being a burden to my parents. My inferiority complex grew larger and larger.

We would oftentimes have to work our part-time jobs the following day [after a performance] and go work. To be honest, we didn’t make much for our performances. And these performances are really far […] but we just loved being on stage. We knew that if one person quit, everything would be over so we all stuck together and would say, ‘let’s do one more performance, let’s release one more album.’

I was more apologetic to him [Brave Brothers.] If he had given up on us, we would have been able to think ‘let’s cherish these memories’ or something. One day, the four of us went to him and told him ‘we don’t have funds for our living expenses. What should we do?’ He asked us ‘how much do you guys need?’ and ever since, he gave us an allowance from his own pocket.
