Rocky revealed that through this stage, he learned a lot, and felt that he definitely grew as a singer after delivering a whole vocal performance on his own!

Q: You have impressed us with various activities you have shown as a member of ASTRO, but we are curious as to your thoughts about performing on stage without the members.

A: I am very grateful for the opportunity to perform a stage with only my voice through King Of Masked Singer. I think that this experience will be another turning point for me as I continue to develop and grow. This was a stage where I felt and learned a lot. I would be happy if you enjoyed watching my performance.

Rocky was then asked to share any memorable anecdotes while preparing for his stage on King of Masked Singer, and he shared a heartwarming story about his parents’ reactions to his appearance on the show!!

Truthfully, my parents were more nervous than me because they had never seen me sing on stage. So I remember singing in my parents’ car before recording and seeing my parents’ reaction. I still remember them breathing a sigh of relief after listening to me sing.

The part that I focused the most on was my mindset. Since this was my first solo stage as a vocalist, I thought to myself, ‘I can do it!’, so that I can show what I have practiced without being too nervous.
