Singer Greg Liva Priester became emotional as he recalled his fiancée, who passed away in a traffic accident 20 years ago.
On the 22nd, in the KBS1 program 'Morning Yard' during the 'Tuesday Guest' segment, Greg participated and shared various stories.
Greg, who came to Korea 18 years ago and became a singer he never thought he would be, said, 'My parents didn't believe that I became a singer, but these days I show my picture to Korean people and ask if they know me. I'm so grateful, but I'm a bit shy.' Greg laughed and said, 'Mom, stop it,' then sent a video message saying, 'Thank you so much for your support,' which touched people.
For Greg, Korea was 'the country he had only heard about.' He said, 'When I was in America, I didn't know much about Korea, so my family worried a lot. Overseas, North Korea-related news was an issue, so people around me worried a lot too. However, I wasn't overly concerned, and my father, who served in the U.S. military in Korea, eased my worries.'
Greg was able to heal wounds in Korea. He said, 'I worked as a math teacher in America, but it was very difficult. The students were inconsiderate, and the work was stressful. You might have illusions from watching American dramas, but there were indeed students who carried firearms. It was so tough that I cried every day at home, and after consulting about my concerns, I was suggested to take a break.'
Greg could not bring up the memories of the fiancée he lost in a traffic accident, whom he had been dating since he was 18 in 2005. Keeping his words to himself, Greg said, 'It's not easy to talk today. I think I might cry if I start to speak,' revealing an emotional demeanor that evoked sympathy.
