Drummer Rino opened up about his difficult life story.

On the 1st, Rino appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel 'WeRacle'.

Rino said, "My father was a severe alcoholic. He was in a state where normal life was impossible."

He added, "(My father) beat my mother and me every day. Breaking the house was common. At times, he locked my mother and me inside and set fire. He also drove his car into someone else's house. He often ended up in detention. That was our father's behavior."

Recalling his mother's appearance during his childhood, Rino explained, "My mother had uterine cancer, but she tried to support the family by selling perilla leaves and mushrooms at a rural market."

Rino also revealed that he suffered a medical accident during high school. He said, "I started playing drums since I was a baby, so I wanted to look cool. I went to an ophthalmology clinic to get glasses with red frames. However, there is a test called pupil dilation. It involves putting medication in the eyes and shining light to observe changes in the pupils. During that test, I injured my optic nerve. In an instant, I lost my vision in both eyes."

Recalling that time, he said, "When I woke up in the morning, I couldn't tell direction. I didn't know where the door was or where the wall was. At that moment, I was so scared that I developed panic disorder. When I realized I couldn't do anything, my heart completely collapsed."

He continued, "On top of that, my father drank more and tormented my mother. Experiencing such things while blind made it emotionally difficult. It felt like a cursed life. That's why I couldn't die and had to live on."

Currently, he has regained his vision. Rino stated, "It wasn't that I suddenly regained sight. I lived like that for nearly a year, and one morning when I woke up, I saw a shadow pass in front of my eyes. Gradually, I could see a little bit of light. My vision didn't return dramatically, but I was grateful for all of life."

Rino said, "Now, I've even regained the ability to get a driver's license. I am still considered a person with a disability. My optic nerve isn't fully intact, but I can read, recognize faces, and drive, so I feel no inconvenience at all. Originally, I was classified as Grade 1 or 2, but now I have been reclassified as Grade 5, mild disability."
