Singer Lee Seung-chul revealed the story behind his inability to speak for a month following vocal polyp surgery.
On the 31st, Lee Seung-chul and Wooz appeared as guests on the JTBC variety show 'Knowing Bros.'
On that day, Lee Seung-chul disclosed that he had previously undergone surgery after developing a growth on his vocal cords. He explained that the strain was due to singing extensively over his long career as a singer.
In particular, Lee Seung-chul confessed that he was unable to speak for about a month after the surgery and used a smartphone app to communicate with those around him. This highlighted just how important a voice is for a singer.
However, the surgery turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Lee Seung-chul explained that his throat condition had improved compared to before the surgery, allowing him to correct improper vocal habits he had been using all along.
Wooz, who was listening, also shared his own concerns about his vocal technique. Wooz stated that he often uses a singing style that feels like scratching his throat and is researching ways to produce sound without straining his throat. He added that he is looking for methods to achieve the desired sound without pain, such as techniques involving the upper part of the throat.
The two drew attention by sharing the importance of vocal technique for singing over a long period, based on their respective experiences.
