f(x)’s Luna mentioned a difficult time.

On KBS 1TV ‘Morning Plaza’ corner ‘Tuesday Invitation Seat’ that aired on the 15th, he appeared with actress Choi Jung-won and talked about his mother who gave him strength during difficult times.

Luna said, “My mom majored in vocal music and is a soprano.My dad also conducts choirs at church and my older brother is a composer.My twin sister is also a vocalist,” and added, “When we talk about music among our family, we are very sensitive.We have different genres and each has their own pride.”

Luna said, “When I was young, my mother must have had a hard time because the IMF crisis ruined the household economy.She gave up her dream of singing and jumped into business while helping her grandmother sell sundae soup.After working in the business for a long time, she ended up inhaling a lot of gas and suffered from chronic bronchitis.” She continued, “Whenever I touched sundae, my fingernails would get black and I hated that when I was young.I used to say things like, ‘Why can’ t my mother have pretty hands like other mothers? ‘When I was 14, I felt sorry for my mother.She was a good singer, beautiful, and bright, but I saw her struggling.So I practiced hard.When everyone else was playing, I practiced 365 days a year without a day off since I was 14.My biggest driving force was wanting my parents to live comfortably and achieve their dreams.That’s why I was able to grow like this.”


Luna said, “My mom is my spiritual pillar and a good friend.I was sick for a long time.There was a time when I was sick from the age of 25 to 30.At that time, I could hardly meet people, breathe, open my eyes, work, and rest when I could at home.I just repeated this.At that time, I couldn’t be alone, so my mom took care of me by accompanying me on all my schedules with my older sister.”

Luna said, “I wanted to give up on my career as an idol, singer, and musical actor.I thought I was no longer qualified to do this.At that time, my mother said, ‘You will always have a place to return to, so what if you fail a little? What if you fall short? I hope you try everything you want to do and give up at that time.’ It was thanks to my mother that I was able to endure for five years and stand up healthily.”

Meanwhile, Luna will appear in the musical ‘Mamma Mia’ with Choi Jeong-won on this day.’Mamma Mia’ will be performed at the LG Arts Center Seoul from the 26th of this month to the 25th of October.
