" I began training 10 years ago. If I were to say just one thing, it's that I want people who 'really' and 'truly' want to become singers to pursue this path. You can't just do it, and you can't just work hard. You have to want it. By just relying on talent alone, you won't be able to overcome the long, long years it takes. As a trainee, you might think that all you need are your dreams and passions, but once you debut, that dream and passion becomes your career and your society. You can't eat, you can't sleep, and you're left with no friends. You can't do anything except stand on stage. Really, only those who are crazy for the career should pursue it"
