Former U-KISS member Kibum shared his honest feelings after he left the group.
Through a press release from his label Professional Entertainment, Kibum stated, “While I was active in U-KISS in the past, it’s true that I was lacking musically. Because of that, I was able to accept the suggestion of a member change without resentment. I thought all of this was happening because I was lacking musically, so I decided to go to Japan. I gave up anything relating to visuals for 2 years and focused only on live performances because I wanted to come back to Korea as a singer.”
He continued, “In the 2 years that I only focused on music, I had such a hard time that I considered suicide. But last year, my current label suggested that I restart as a solo singer because I was now ready, so I decided to debut as a solo artist in April. I can’t help but miss all the times I had with the members of U-KISS, and I was able to bear through the hard times through those memories. I still love them.”
After his promotions in Japan, Kibum will be returning to Korea to release his first solo, ‘Longing‘ in April.
