SISTAR (씨스타) Bora's Reason For 3-year Hiatus: "My Mental Health Was Poor, I Didn't Join an Agency"



SISTAR's Bora revealed the reason for her three-year hiatus.

Bora appeared on the YouTube channel 'Jo Hyun-ah's Common Thursday Night.' Bora, who revealed that she even underwent voice training due to concerns about her voice, stated, "I think I generally have good concentration and mental strength." When Jo Hyun-ah remarked, "Then you must be mentally healthy," Bora replied, "There were times when my mental health wasn't good, but I am trying to stay healthy." Bora explained, "At first, I didn't realize I was in that bad shape. In fact, I was worse when I wasn't busy." She continued, "It is a really difficult thing, but shouldn't I be the one to overcome it? So, when my mental health was poor, I accepted that I was in a bad state and decided I had to overcome it. I thought about it simply like that."

Bora revealed, "I didn't have an agency for three years. It's not that I wasn't working at all back then, but compared to the past, the period of not working was long. So, I deliberately didn't join a company. I felt a lot of guilt about taking a break at that time. I kept saying to myself, 'When have you ever taken a break? You can rest now.'"

In response, Jo Hyun-ah asked, "Actually, I am much more capable, solid, and well-rounded than I thought you were. You seem like a very broad-minded person. Why haven't you shown this side of yourself on TV?" Bora confessed, "There was no one who brought me out like this. My weakness is that I can move forward if someone opens the way for me, but it is hard for me to do so on my own."

Bora revealed, "I also thought I was just a bright person. I was very active even when I was promoting with SISTAR. That side of me is also true. I am so unpretentious, and it is naturally me, but it turns out I was a darker person than anyone else. I realized that side of myself later. I thought, 'I am a dark person, but I was just packaging myself as bright.' From now on, I just want to show my true self."
