Singer Cho Kwon expressed his burden over the image of being known as "Kkap-kwon."

On the 3rd, Cho Kwon appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel Cha-o-ru and shared his struggles with the nickname "Kkap-kwon."

In the released video, Cho Kwon stated, "After performing a dance once on the variety show 'Star King,' I received the nickname 'Kkap-kwon.' Since then, I was able to fully express my talents that had been suppressed during my time with 2am. Because of the image projected through variety shows, I was frequently invited from various places. I satisfied my thirst for performance through variety shows and musicals."

He added, "As I received great love through variety shows, the 'Kkap-kwon' character made our group's name well-known. There was also pressure. I became someone with too many expectations placed on me. It was extremely stressful."

He continued, "I really didn't want to go to broadcasting stations. If there was a shoot scheduled for the next day, I would feel stressed the day before. Although I can speak about it comfortably now, I wanted to go underwater. The pressure to be funny made me want to skip out."

Cho Kwon also shared, "I wanted to focus on singing. My main job is being a singer, but I had become too much of 'Kkap-kwon.' The image was being worn down so heavily that at one point, I felt a sudden reality check. Many people even laughed when I sang ballads."
