1. Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon

Taeyeon revealed she thought being a singer was one of the loneliest jobs in the world. She explained that she felt the most empty after getting off stage, especially when she isn’t able to show her fans everything she had prepared over many months.

Another moment Taeyeon feels extremely lonely is when she’s heading back to her empty hotel room after a concert, especially after singing in front of thousands of people.

2. BIGBANG’s G-Dragon

It’s really lonely after a concert because everyone goes to their own room afterward. Lots of people think we have huge, fancy parties after a concert, but it’s definitely not like that.

3. BoA

BoA revealed she has had many sleepless nights due to her many hours of practice. According to BoA, the surge of adrenaline she gets from practicing takes a while to die down, and practicing late at night has kept her awake.

There are many nights where I couldn’t fall asleep until it became bright outside. Every time that happens, I feel really weird.

Sunggyu said one of the toughest things about being an artist is the unpredictability of one’s future. He revealed that he was always worried about his future, and whether or not he’ll have as many fans with every concert he has.

Whenever I finish a concert, I start worrying about whether or not the fans will cheer for me as passionately as they did. I keep thinking that I don’t think they will.
