Brian Of Fly To The Sky Considered Committing Suicide At The Height Of His Band's Fame: Thanks Bandmate Hwanhee For His 'Endless Support'

Brian of the South Korean R&B duo Fly To The Sky says he considered jumping out the window of the 13th floor apartment he shared with bandmate Hwanhee when his band was at the pinnacle of their fame.

Brian, whose also uses the stage name is Brian Joo, made the stunning admission on Thursday's episode of the Seoul Broadcasting System television show "Good Morning."

"I once looked outside the window from the 13th floor apartment that I lived in with Hwanhee, and for a slight moment, I almost made a mistake," the star said of his contemplated suicide attempt.

Brian cited the pressures of being a celebrity as his reason for considering suicide.

"While I was promoting as Fly to the Sky, I was on the verge of making a wrong decision due to my emotional suffering," he explained.

"When I was well into my promotions with Fly to the Sky, I received a lot of stress from the loneliness from living in Korea by myself and the emotional baggage that comes with being a celebrity."

Though the two members of Fly to the Sky parted ways in 2009, Brian has remained active in music, releasing four albums as a solo artist.

He remains deeply appreciative that his longtime musical collaborator was there for him when he hit rock bottom.

"During the time when I was having the hardest time, Hwanhee always stayed by my side and gave me endless support," Brian said.

"I'm still very thankful for him."

Hwanhee enlisted in the South Korean army back in October of 2011, where he is currently serving a two-year enlistment as public service employee, according to the website Soompi.

"Thank you for giving me so much love over the past 10 years," Hwanhee wrote to his online fan club shortly before he left for four weeks of boot camp.

"Finally, I'm enlisting in the army on October 27. I'll come back as a more mature and better man. Please wait for me just a bit. My fans will always be in my heart and I believe Hwanhee will always be in my fans' heart. I love you all so much."
