Singer G.NA Reflects on Difficult Hiatus: 'I Was Going Crazy... Shattered into Pieces All by Myself'

South Korean singer G.NA has opened up about the profound difficulties she experienced during her hiatus from the music industry, revealing a period of intense personal struggle. In a candid social media post, she shared her feelings of distress and isolation.

“

No, I didn't [handle it well]. I was going crazy, I lost the vitality within me, I suffered in silence, and I couldn't ask for help. I was shattered into pieces all by myself.

"People say, 'You handled it so well.' No, I didn't," G.NA wrote, directly addressing perceptions of her coping mechanisms. She elaborated on her internal turmoil, stating, "I was going crazy, I lost the vitality within me, I suffered in silence, and I couldn't ask for help. I was shattered into pieces all by myself."

And then I put on a smile. A smile that lies better than any mask.

The singer further explained that her outward appearance of composure was a facade. "And then I put on a smile. A smile that lies better than any mask," she confessed. G.NA clarified that her survival during that time was not a sign of strength but a consequence of having no alternative. "I didn't handle it well. I just endured," she stated, adding, "Not because I was strong every day, but simply because I had no other choice."

I didn't handle it well. I just endured.

While G.NA did not specify the exact circumstances or timeline of the events she described, the post comes shortly after she marked her 16th debut anniversary and announced plans for a remake of her hit song 'Black and White.' G.NA had previously suspended her entertainment activities in 2016 following a legal case involving allegations of soliciting prostitution, for which she received a summary indictment and a fine.
