[Trigger Warning/Content Warning: Mentions of Bullying]
On Dec. 15, Tuesday, former male idol and member of K-hip-hop group Topp Dogg, Hyun Ho, revealed the past experiences he encountered before his journey to becoming a trot singer.
According to his interview with Exports News, a Korean media outlet, Park Hyun Ho conveyed his dreams and anticipation of his future activities as a trot singer and revealed how he had overcome his career slump after leaving Topp Dogg.

In particular, Hyun Ho explained that the so-called bullying started when he was the only one in the limelight among the members. He used to think that whoever becomes more popular, even if it's not him, it's fine. But it sparked an issue, and I realized that the members don't get along well with him.
The former idol tried to perform peacefully, but he had to leave the group when all the members raise their hands in front of his face to the question, "Who wants Seogoong to withdraw from the team?". The incident became one of the worst moments in his life, according to him.
Due to this, he even attempted to take his own life after departure from the group.
Hyun Ho said, "I was angry when my father blamed me on the day I took all my luggage out of the accommodation after I left. I would open the window and jump off because my mentality was broken, but my father caught my clothes that he could almost rip them all off. Now that I think about it, I think it's too foolish and hurtful."
On how did Hyun Ho overcame the difficulties after leaving the team, he said:
"At that time, the company merged with Hunus Entertainment, and Hunus took me to the actor side. I happened to watch the musical audition, and my self-esteem also recovered when I was selected as the lead role in the musical "Gone With the Wind." It was a stepping stone for me to get back on my feet.
When he slowly found his new career path, Hyun Ho also reconciled with some of the members.
"There are many members who apologized for what happened at that time." Hyun Ho also apologized and was keeping in touch with some of the members.
Despite his difficulties, the current trot singer affirmed to his supporters that he's doing fine now. Due to what happened, he also had his personality growth.
