Solbi "I wanted to turn my back on my life with malicious comments, fake video rumors, and theft."He confessed his hard times.
On Channel A 'Best Talk Documentary - Table for Four', singer and painter Solbi invited close friends Lee Min-woo, Brian, and Kwon Hyuk-soo to the gallery for the first private exhibition in two years and held 'Exhibition Free Open Ceremony'.
On this day, Solbi revealed the specific reason for overcoming the slump and starting art. In the past, he was deeply hurt by malicious comments, theft, and family history, and at one point, he even felt like turning his back on his life.
Solbi said he had a "slump around 2008" about why he started painting. There was cyberbullying that I couldn't handle, and there was also a fake 2009 video rumor"I recalled the difficult times.
He went on to "There was a lot of personal stuff overlapping. My mom also fell ill and went to the hospital, and I had to pay off my dad's debt"In addition to that, there was even a thief in the house. The amount of damage, such as watches and jewelry, is about 200 million won,' he said, shocking.
Solbi said "I feel like I lost the value of my existence after I was robbed when I was in a bad time because I was having a hard time", and I thought "Do I need someone in the world?" At the same time, he shocked me by saying, "'What would I do if I ended my life last?'
Solbi climbed for about 13 hours, saying, `I was thinking about how to turn away from such thoughts, but I climbed Jirisan Mountain.' I guess he wanted to overcome the painful time somehow. "I went up crying alone and sitting alone and resting..." he recalled.
He "I went up to the top and looked around, and all of a sudden I heard a voice. 'It's not time for you to go yet. I heard a story saying, 'Please be supportive with your talent to people who are suffering or struggling like you right now.'" He said, referring to the time when he had a strange experience, saying, "From then on, my eyes suddenly opened and I could see very clearly."
Solbi says "Since then, the strange things that have been shown to the world have looked so beautiful. " That's right. I felt so precious, saying, 'I'm alive. That's when I started painting"He talked about the painting he encountered in the crisis of life in 2010.
He said "I think I was born again from then on."After I really drew and fell in love with myself a little more, I felt like I was living my true life, not me, who is interested in and loved by someone, so I think it's meaningful in itself."
Then, Solbi said "What's so good about drawing is that the negative gaze and malicious comments surrounding me are the ingredients of drawing for me." One of the most common comments was "You don't know how to draw an apple." Apples are drawn at the introductory stage of art. I'm making fun of it." So Solbi made the apple my own work"It drew attention by revealing an anecdote that sublimated ridicule toward him into art."
