In TV CHOSUN's 'Dad and Me' broadcast on the 31st, Bae A-Hyun's father, who was in charge of his daughter's daily manager, went to watch his daughter's concert for the first time.

Bae A-Hyun went on stage with the determination to say, "This is my dad's first time attending a concert. So I want to show a better side of myself."

After finishing the performance, Bae A-Hyun took her father, who worked hard as her daily manager, to a high-end restaurant. My father was confused and said, “This is my first time here since I was born.” Bae Hyeon was proud and said, “I will come here often now.”

Bae A-Hyun said, “I’m a lot better now,” and recalled the process of coming from a difficult era of obscurity to now. My father was also moved, saying, “There is no comparison to the old days.” The father and daughter had mixed emotions. Dad asked Bae Hyeon, "You were so sad when you were unknown. It was so sad because it was so hard. Do you remember back in the day? I played your song for a while in my dad's car, and you told me not to play it. Why did you hate playing your song?" .

Bae A-Hyun revealed the truth she had not been able to tell before, saying, “I was a little depressed at the time.” Bae A-Hyun's father was shocked as he faced his daughter's unexpected pain. Bae A-Hyun said, "There was nothing going on. But I wasn't making a lot of money, and there was nothing in sight. My other friends were saving money by working part-time while going to college, but I wasn't in a situation where I could work part-time because my schedule could suddenly change. As I stayed at home, at some point I started to hate singing itself. In the past, I liked listening to and singing, but the more I went on stage, the more I started to hate singing.”

In an interview with the production crew, Bae A-Hyun said, "When I was 20, I didn't want to talk about the situation itself. I thought talking about it wouldn't solve anything. I tried to endure it alone." He continued, "I felt like I got more depressed when I was with my friends. I couldn't empathize with them. I didn't go to college and didn't live that kind of life, so I think I got depressed because I had to work and come home and repeat. Because I couldn't see anything in front of me. That's why I fell into a slump." He said. Bae A-Hyun, who was watching the interview video in the studio, was moved to tears. Bae A-Hyun said, "I didn't even know I was depressed when I was in my early twenties. After that, I realized, 'I was depressed.'"
