Singer Park Jae-jung reveals vocal struggles, calls recovery a 'miracle'

South Korean singer Park Jae-jung has shared his struggle with vocal cord nodules and muscle tension dysphonia. The artist, known for his hit song 'Let's Break Up,' revealed the condition developed after intense promotions for the track.

“

I wanted to sing. As someone who has sung for 13 years, not singing is the unhappiest thing.

Park Jae-jung explained that he faced difficulties singing and that his military service further complicated his treatment. "I wanted to sing. As someone who has sung for 13 years, not singing is the unhappiest thing," he stated. He sought various vocal coaches and medical help to regain his voice.

Currently, Park Jae-jung reports a 70% recovery, which he described as a miracle. He expressed a desire to return to his roots and sing with renewed passion. Vocal cord nodules typically result from excessive voice use, causing hoarseness and the formation of small, hardened growths on the vocal cords. Muscle tension dysphonia can cause pain during speech.

I consider it a miracle.

Park Jae-jung, who won Mnet's Superstar K5 in 2013, gained renewed popularity with his 2023 album 'Alone.' He is scheduled to meet fans at a mini-concert titled 'Conversation' on June 26.
