Singer Park Jae-jung revealed that he has vocal cord nodules.

On the 24th episode of KBS 2TV's variety program 'Happy Together - Because I'm Not Alone' (hereinafter 'Hae-tu'), singers Park Jae-jung and Joo-seok appeared.

That day, Yoon Jong-shin greeted Park Jae-jung by saying, "What if you meet me again for an audition?" Park introduced himself as a 13th-year singer named Park Jae-jung, while Joo-seok also introduced himself as a 7th-year singer named Joo-seok.

Yoo Jae-suk asked, "Are you two close?" Park replied, "We've been close for about five years as older and younger brothers. We're also in the same company now. We often talk about our lives and whether we should keep going forward. He's someone I rely on." He added, "He majored in guitar, and I get a lot of help from him when playing the guitar."

Yoon Jong-shin said about Park Jae-jung, "I was the one who first picked Jae-jung at an audition." Park responded, "He is my mentor. I dedicated my entire 20s to him. I learned a lot and received significant musical guidance and support from him."

It was also revealed that Yoon Jong-shin's mega-hit song 'Joh-ni' almost became Park Jae-jung's song. Park explained, "Actually, he loved me so much that whenever he had a good song, he always asked me to sing it. At that time, I didn't have the ability to perform that song well."

Yoon Jong-shin said, "At first, I wanted Jae-jung to sing it, but strangely, I felt this song required a bit more maturity. We decided to try it another time. At that point, we didn't know if the song would succeed." Park then replied, "It was the best song I've ever received," which drew laughter from the audience.

Regarding his appearance on the show, Park said honestly, "After releasing and promoting 'Let's Not Break Up,' I suffered from vocal cord nodules and muscle tension dysphonia. I have recovered significantly now, but I don't know when it might return. Also, since I went straight to the military, I couldn't receive proper treatment. Once it goes beyond my control, it becomes difficult."

He continued, "After 10 years, I got a hit song called 'Let's Not Break Up' and worked hard promoting it. Even though I have a hit song, things are going well, and I'm earning money gratefully, as someone who has sung for 13 years, not singing would be the most unfortunate thing. That's why I made up my mind to find my voice again. I visited vocal coaches and hospitals for treatment. Now, I've recovered by 70%. Even now, I consider it a miracle."
