Upon which, the parents reacted with surprise saying, ‘If you’re going to live doing what you want, leave.’ I also didn’t back down and left,” SINCE explained.

SINCE further shared, “I didn’t contact my father for almost two years. I vowed not to contact him until showing results with music,” and added, “Now they really like it. They were very happy about my appearance on ‘King of Mask Singer’. “

Facing the camera, SINCE shouted, “Dad, I worked really hard today. I love you” and promised, “I will become a daughter you can be proud of,” leaving a warm message.

Lastly, SINCE expressed, “I want to let many people know about the artist SINCE,” and pledged to “grow as a fearless artist through various challenges beyond just music.”
