I've been sick for about 150 days since my cell phone was cut off' I thought so. I just cried a lot. I wanted to give up everything and go back, but I came to show you something, but I felt ashamed even when I went back."

In the meantime, Hwang Garam practiced singing consistently. Hwang Ga-ram says, "I need to get a space to practice singing." I thought about it and got a warehouse.

Still, I tried to endure it again, but isn't it not possible?" he cried, recalling his unknown life.

Valuable things don't work quickly, so I hope you work harder." he said. Yoo Jae-seok also wiped away tears and "I tried not to cry, but I cried. How hard it must have been. I don't think it's possible to say that it's hard"I hope that someday Hwang Garam will become a bigger person and tell these stories in songs and mouth for a longer time."
