[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Greg, an American-born singer, confessed that he had a fianc?e he parted with 15 years ago.


On the 23rd, R&B singer Greg appeared on MBC Every1's "Welcome, First Time in Korea?".


On that day, when asked if he had any plans to get married, he said, "I originally had a fianc?e," and added, "I met my first love when I was about 17 years old in Korean age. After a long relationship, we promised to get married. We were supposed to get married in June 2005."


He continued, "But she left in February of that year. I already feel like I lost my wife," revealing the past when he lost his fianc?e in a car accident.


He went on, "Sometimes when I think about it, she is my only person. When I sing, she comes to mind. Then, I have no choice but to cry." He also added, "Especially when I sing soul songs, sad thoughts come up. That emotion helps me."


Greg said, "There is a similar concept in Korea. It's called 'han'." He stated, "Some say perfect pitch is important. But I often sing off-key. My emotions are more important than singing well."



Finally, he said, "In the past, I used to sing without emotion, but now it’s completely different. Korea made me the singer I am today."
