Seo Jang-hoon "What made me emotional was that I suffered my mother's death last year. I'm listening to the lyrics..I couldn't stop saying, "It's too...."

Then "I'm not weak in my mind, but when I heard these songs while I was in big trouble last year..It's such a silly book, but it's so sad to listen to the lyrics while pondering the lyrics."




In response, Lim Hyung-joo warmly comforted Seo Jang-hoon, saying, `If this song is a little comfort to many people, it would be really appreciated.'
