Singer Bae Ki-seong confessed that he has been performing while losing hearing in his right ear for five months.

In the fifth-anniversary special program "Chosun's Lover Singing Contest" of the TV Chosun variety show 'Chosun's Lover', which aired on the 20th, Bae Ki-seong revealed his current health condition.

On that day, Kang Su-ji asked, "You are going through a difficult situation in many ways; is your hearing loss serious?" and Kim Kuk-jin also said, "Many people are worried."

In response, Bae Ki-seong stated, "My right ear has been deaf for five months now," and added, "I am singing with only one ear."

He continued, "I have tinnitus in my right ear 24 hours a day. I cannot hear the words of people on my right side at all," and revealed that he had heard he might receive a disability diagnosis in about six months.

He said, "In previous times, I couldn't hear other people's conversations in the waiting room at all, so I was wearing earphones alone," and added, "I feel heavy-hearted that I haven't been able to show my full vocal power or peak condition."

He also shared his honest feelings, saying, "I even thought today's stage might be the last one I can perform in front of the seniors I truly loved," and noted, "As time goes on, I feel myself shrinking more and more as a singer."

Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-won encouraged him by saying, "You are becoming like Beethoven. It has been seven years since my left ear went deaf," and added, "People with disabilities can become a source of strength for many if they work even harder."

Bae Ki-seong calmly replied, "That is why I am working hard with a smile in front of the seniors without showing any signs of distress."
