“I think I got through it by continually reminding myself, “Let’s not fear the difficulties at the beginning.” It gave me so much strength.”

There’s a phrase, “Do not fear the difficulties at the beginning.” I think that’s what it means. When I performed, I often felt a great emptiness. It wasn’t so much a negative feeling as simply the emotion of “emptiness” itself, and it was overwhelming. But at some point, I felt that emptiness was constantly being filled with fear. This was especially intense last year, before I prepared for the TV programs “Sing Again 2” and “I Can See Your Voice 8.” But even this enormous fear was something new to me, so I think I got through it by continually reminding myself, “Let’s not fear the difficulties at the beginning.” It gave me so much strength.

“‘처음의 어려움을 두려워하지 말자’를 계속 마음에 새기면서 헤쳐나간 것 같아요. 힘이 정말 많이 되었어요.”

=‘무탄초난’이라는 글귀가 있어요. ‘처음의 어려움을 두려워하지 말라’는 뜻이거든요. 저는 공연을 할 때 공허함이 굉장히 컸었어요. 부정적인 느낌이라기보다는, 그냥 ‘공허’라는 감정 그 자체가 컸었거든요. 근데 그게 어느 순간부터 두려움으로 자꾸 채워지는 느낌이 들더라고요. 특히, 작년에 TV프로그램 ‘싱어게인2’와 ‘너의 목소리가 보여8’를 준비하기 전에 이게 굉장히 심했었어요. 그런데 이 커다란 두려움조차도 저한테 처음인 거니까, ‘처음의 어려움을 두려워하지 말자’를 계속 마음에 새기면서 헤쳐나간 것 같아요. 힘이 정말 많이 되었어요.
