Brave Brothers Confesses "Experienced Father's Death During Brave Girls' Reverse Run... Suffered from Panic Disorder"

"How Much Success Do You Seek? A Sense of Doubt"

Music producer 'Yonggamhyeongje (real name Kang Dong-cheol)' shared an anecdote about wandering after losing his father several years ago.

On the 27th, the entertainment-focused YouTube channel 'Human Story' featured Yonggamhyeongje, one of Korea's leading popular music producers. He recalled, "My human story is quite intense. I've been making music and working as a producer for quite a long time. I joined YG in 2002 and transitioned to a producer in 2005. I've been active for 19 years and even built this building."

When the host asked, "What are you preparing now?" Yonggamhyeongje replied, "There are friends like Candy Shop and DKB, and until recently, there were friends called Brave Girls," adding, "The album 'Rollin'' released in 2017 started to 'reverse climb' in 2021 through the YouTube algorithm, receiving tremendous love and attention."

However, the joy of success was short-lived, as Yonggamhyeongje experienced hardship after his father's passing. He said, "After things were going so well and I was feeling joy, just when I was supposed to prepare an album, my father suddenly passed away," expressing, "I thought, how much success am I trying to achieve with this music and album when I couldn't even protect my most important family?"

He continued, "The Brave Girls wanted to leave the company, but I couldn't hold them back. I was trying hard, but my mental state wasn't good, and I was suffering from panic disorder and seizures," revealing, "Since they were friends who had struggled together, I somehow felt like we should be together for life, but when all that remains is just a page of memories, it made me struggle with myself."

However, he emphasized, "(Brave Girls) achieved good results. They were friends I shared with and who struggled with me during hard times," adding, "It was honestly quite difficult to stay strong, but after that, there were other trainees, and the friends we prepared like that are Candy Shop."
