In a candid revelation that has taken fans by surprise, Zion.T, the boyfriend of TWICE's Chaeyoung, opened up about his turbulent journey of self-deprecation and the high standards he set for himself in the music industry.

During a heartfelt appearance on the Sebasi Talk YouTube channel on July 7, he revealed the depths of his struggles, saying, "I didn’t like anything about myself, including my music and my face. I was so dissatisfied and depressed that I couldn’t stand it." This raw admission highlights the toll that perfectionism can take on an artist's mental health.

Zion.T shared a startling story from his past, shedding light on his intense perfectionist tendencies. "When I was young, I was recording and hated my voice so much that I ended up beating the wall next to me," he confessed. The emotional impact of his actions was evident, as he recalled how a friend who witnessed it was left in tears.

He further admitted to layering choruses in his music because he felt his voice was not appealing enough, reflecting the inner turmoil that influenced his creative process.

In a surprising twist, he disclosed that he once stole his father's sunglasses to wear on stage, hiding his eyes because he was ashamed of his appearance. "I wore them because I didn’t want to show my eyes to people, because I hated myself on stage," he explained.

Yet, amid this struggle for self-acceptance, Zion.T found a silver lining. "While covering myself up, I was also filling myself up. Strangely, the songs I made while hating myself became the ingredients that made me love myself," he shared, indicating that his music journey, filled with challenges, ultimately fostered self-love.

A Romantic Twist!

As if this heartfelt revelation wasn't enough, Zion.T was recently spotted enjoying a cozy date with his girlfriend Chaeyoung, who is notably ten years his junior. Their relationship continues to garner attention, and this blend of vulnerability and romance makes for a compelling narrative in the world of K-pop.
