Seulgi shared a story, while breaking down in tears, about how difficult it was for her as a trainee. She had been training for 4+ years and nearly gave up.
She talked about how her mother was the reason that she didn’t stop and continued to train hard..
“I had a huge slump during the 4th and 5th year. At that time my mom got me through telling me ‘You are going to make it, there is absolutely no question about that.’ My mom later told me that that was one of the most difficult times she ever faced as well.”
She’s discussed this difficult period of her life other times as well, referencing how she wasn’t even she she should be a singer.
“It was fun for the first 3~4 years but than I came to a slump. I doubted whether or not this path was right for me.”
