Noah, who was called a ‘genius singer’, shared his current status for the first time in 15 years.
Recently, on the YouTube channel ‘Recent Olympics’, ‘Legendary singing ability, income of 0 won! A video titled ‘A singer who suddenly disappeared’ was uploaded.
In the released video, Noah explained why he quit his entertainment career after 2007. He said, "I wasn't happy with the company. That's all the reason why I stopped working. There was friction with my agency. I tore up my contract three times."
He also said, “I went to auditions with Bada from SES, and Bada joined SM Entertainment, and the company I joined included Solid, Kim Gun-mo, and Lee Eun-mi.”
He confessed, "But not long after I joined, Solid Brothers disbanded and Kim Gun-mo also left. Then the president suddenly disappeared. It was a time when I didn't know anything. I was 20 years old."
Regarding the income aspect at the time, he expressed regret, saying, "I didn't receive even one won. There were even people who asked for money and were fired. It was a culture shock."
During Noah's heyday, 2-3 events a day were the norm. I went to about 20 or more events a week. However, he recalled that time, saying, "It would have been enormous if I had received a settlement," and "I didn't receive anything. They said there was nothing left because there was more money going into the event. Thinking about it now, it's ridiculous."
Noah said, "Life was very difficult. I worked part-time as a gunman, served as a server, and did manual labor building the academy's annex building. My family's situation was difficult. I can't imagine how stressful it must have been when I got a debt collection call. They texted me and threatened me all day, and in the past, they came to my house and came to my house. “He even came,” he said.
Lastly, he said, "I was thinking about how to escape this situation and move on to a better situation, and in 2013, I created an entertainment company to train my juniors. I am so grateful that you did not forget me and remembered me. I will come back with better music." .
