Singer Sohyang spoke about the crises she faced during her career, including vocal nodules, pneumonia, and stage fright.

On the 8th, international child sponsorship organization Compassion will release an interview video featuring singer Sohyang titled "The World of Living as a Greek" (hereinafter referred to as "The World of Living as a Greek").

In a previously recorded session, Sohyang revealed that she did not initially dream of becoming a singer. Having dreamed of becoming a manga artist and an interpreter, Sohyang began singing praise after finding faith during her high school years, eventually becoming a CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) singer through gospel hymn competitions and other events. She later expanded her activities to the pop music stage by appearing on MBC's "I Am a Singer."

Although Sohyang has been loved for her explosive vocal power and unparalleled high notes, she faced unseen difficulties behind the scenes. She said she felt tension and fear due to the burden of being evaluated at every performance, and devoted herself to practice to overcome it. After singing the national anthem in front of tens of thousands of spectators at a baseball stadium in Dallas, USA, her voice failed to recover, leading to a diagnosis of vocal nodules in Korea. Compounded by pneumonia, she even considered halting her activities.

Sohyang stated, "I was terrified of whether I should keep singing and if what I am doing now is the right thing," revealing that she suspended all schedules for a month and traveled to New York. During her trip, she came across the phrase "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" by Roosevelt at a Gong (President) in Philadelphia. She recalled gaining the courage to return to the stage by asking herself, "What will I look like in five or ten years if I do nothing because of this fear?"

Sohyang, who appeared on "King of Mask Singer" as her first schedule after returning to Korea, recorded a six-game winning streak. Sohyang said that although she felt she could not perform at the same level as before, her perspective on music changed as she saw more people being comforted by her songs. She added, "While technique is important in singing, a sincere message is even more important," expressing her desire to convey the insights gained from her life through her music.

Sohyang's candid stories about her struggles as a singer and her views on music can be viewed on the Korea Compassion YouTube channel at 5 p.m. on the 8th.
