'Teukjong Sesang' singer Hyundaehwa explained the process by which he, paralyzed from the waist down in an accident four years ago, after relentless effort began walking with the help of an orthosis.
On the 19th broadcast of MBN 'Teukjong Sesang', singer Hyundaehwa appeared. After the accident, Hyundaehwa restarted with vocal exercises and has been steadily singing. The vocal coach who helps with his lessons said, "A singer is someone who sings using muscles, and it is called diaphragmatic breathing. In short, you have to plant your feet firmly on the ground, and because he lacks that strength, it must be ten times harder for Hyundaehwa."
Four years ago, Hyundaehwa was traveling with friends and, while walking to a convenience store, something sprang out and he fell off a cliff, fracturing six vertebrae. He was diagnosed with paralysis of the lower body, but after his family's efforts and Hyundaehwa's steady rehabilitation, he can now take small steps when wearing an orthosis.
Hyundaehwa said, "When I think about the rehabilitation process, I really don't want to think about it. I shouted that I could do it, but I wondered if I really could, and I couldn't do anything. I lived in despair thinking I could not do anything by myself, but I thought I should sing."
