Younha expressed her hope for her song “Event Horizon” to be loved for a long time despite its backward climb on music charts.
Yoo Se-yoon jokingly referred to Younha as the “salmon of the music industry” due to her songs climbing backward on charts.
“I enjoyed the promotion a lot. But I hope it could be loved for a long time”. Hearing that, Yoo Se-yoon jokingly said, “I heard people call you ‘salmon of the music industry’, because you keep going backward on charts”.
Younha revealed she debuted in Japan because she got rejected many times in Korea, including by SM.
“I couldn’t do it in Korea. I auditioned but got rejected many times. The company that I auditioned for the most was SM”.
A staff member from ‘Queen of Tears’ team contacted Younha to use her song ‘Waiting’ in the drama.
