She further reveals, "When I was an infant, my mother and aunt would sing, and I would tap the rhythm with my toes." Thanks to her mother recognizing her natural musical talent, she began learning the piano at the age of five.

Notably, Shim Soo-bong shares a surprising fact: "Before debuting as a singer, I played the drums at the U.S. military base." She recounts her history as a drummer on the U.S. military base stage, which only the top musicians of the time could perform on, when she was 16 years old. "I became fascinated with the drums after accidentally seeing a woman play them on TV, so I attended a music academy," says Shim Soo-bong, revealing her innate musical DNA that spans from piano to drums, guitar, songwriting, and composition, leaving viewers in awe.

Additionally, Shim Soo-bong opens up about the rare illness she has struggled with for a long time. She confesses, "When I was in middle school, my friends were surprised by my reaction, and since then, I have become extremely sensitive to loud sounds." She reveals that she suffers from a rare condition called "Misophonia syndrome." Describing it as "a disease where one cannot hear sounds," she explains, "If a loud noise occurs, I faint. Out of caution, I always wear earplugs," evoking sympathy from the audience.
