Singer Shim Soo-bong has revealed that he suffers from a rare illness.

On the 20th, Shim Soo-bong appeared on the MBN entertainment program 'Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night'.

That day, Kim Ju-ha said about Shim Soo-bong's musical family, "They say you are the Bach family of folk music," and Shim Soo-bong added, "I am the last descendant of a famous family in Chungcheong Province known as the Middle and High School Division among the six schools of Pansori."

Regarding his childhood, Shim Soo-bong explained, "When I was a young child, my aunt and mother would sing, and I would tap the rhythm with my toes. My mother said, 'Since he comes from a musical family, if we don't let him study music, he will end up blaming me later,' so she had me start playing the piano at age five."

Along with this, Shim Soo-bong revealed his rare illness. He said, "When I was in middle school, my friends were surprised by something, and since then, I have become extremely sensitive to loud sounds," mentioning his misophonia syndrome.

He continued, "It is a condition where I cannot hear sounds properly. I even have to be careful when listening to the accompaniment monitor. If there is a loud noise or I hear a loud sound, I faint. I always wear earplugs. Right now, you are speaking quietly, so I am not worried, but just in case, I always wear earplugs. Because of this rare disease, I stayed on an island for recovery and learned to play the guitar there."
