Over the past few years, Wheesung revealed that he had endured his fair share of hardships in his career. Although he’s made a fantastic comeback with “Words That Freeze My Heart“, the process leading up to it was a long and arduous one.

The singer left his first home, YG Entertainment, in 2006, and so took over writing, composing, choreography, and producing all on his own. But with the emergence of idol groups, broadcast opportunities dwindled and he began to think that he was falling behind.

He explained, “I didn’t have enough for production, so I couldn’t write or make anything, and I had to cut costs for my music videos as much as possible. In the midst of all of that, my popularity began falling, and every single day for me was like death. I had to go through that for four years, and honestly, it was extremely difficult.”

Lost and confused, he sought the support of senior Tae Jin Ah last October, and told him all of the troubles he was carrying. After listening to his story, Tae Jin Ah took Wheesung to his own entertainment agency, Jin Ah Productions, and introduced him to Eru, Maya, and many other artists by saying, “He is now our new family member.” The senior had formally taken him under his own wings.

Wheesung quickly grew under the warm wings of his new mentor, and finally, on March 15th, the singer overcame all obstacles and released his latest single, “Words That Freeze My Heart.”

He said, “I tried to shed off as much as I could and start anew. I consider it a success if people remember at least one portion of my song after listening to it. I realized that pursuing too much at once puts me at risk of losing everything.

With a fresh start underway, he revealed his future goal to be, “I want to be a singer that stands at the center of the music industry. Even though this is my 10th anniversary this year, I feel like I’ve only just finished preparing myself. I don’t know what it feels like to be 30 years old because I’m at a clean slate now with zero points.”

Such a flawless individual.  I wonder what's gonna happen to the industry when he stops producing and writing lyrics when he has to go in for military service...

Pretty much. I appreciate that at least someone in the Korean music industry is a stickler for good song composition.

i love wheesung and his music but i honestly didn't like his mini that much with the exception of 설마. i still want to hear more of him though and i'm glad he didn't give up. it'd be a waste of talent otherwise..

Seeing the title, I thought this was gonna be a Rain post LOL. But lord knows I love me some Real Slow ♥

I'm glad he's getting more love now because tbqh he is one of the best voices I've heard in a long long time. In Korean music, I think he's only second to Park Hyoshin and that is saying a lot.

The music he does is excellent. I'm not a fan of his voice but the music is indeed really really good.

He's legendary.

But with the emergence of idol groups, broadcast opportunities dwindled and he began to think that he was falling behind. This made me really sad.

It made me sad too, to think that someone with his level of talent and ability could fall behind and be overlooked

i definitely appreciate his passion for music, every time he talks about it on air, he's really serious about it, which i think is refreshing (mostly because its rare to hear people being serious on variety shows)

i also love his voice, its so crazy good, and he is just an amazing singer in general

Wow, I actually never knew Wheesung had gone through such a low time! He's amazing and deserves all the success he is enjoying right now and more. I love his passion for song-writing and for being the best he can be. I hope he will keep producing wonderful music for many years to come. I have a LOT of respect for him.
