Boy band Click-B's member, Oh Jong Hyuk, made an appearance on SBS's "Strong Heart" on October 19th and revealed some of the hardships he went through after his years as an idol singer were over. He stated, "We kept running into problems with our agency, and eventually, our group's promotions just came to an end. It was an extremely difficult time for us. They say that everything difficult comes to you at once, and at the time, it was true. I began running a fast food store with a friend in a three floor building. Business seemed to be going great until I walked into my store one day and found the entire place stripped. My partner had taken it all and ran away." Oh was eventually kicked out of his home due to not being able to pay his rent. He stayed with a friend for a short while but no longer wanted to become a burden and left, opting to live out of a sauna for six months. He continued, "I was still a celebrity, and I guess the owner felt bad for me at that point, having to run around avoiding everyone that noticed me. He took to a back room and said he could let me use a small space in the back of a nail shop inside the sauna." After meeting another 40 year old man in the same situation he was in, Oh expressed, "I began to wonder what any of my supposed fame had to do with my life, and began questioning why I was running away from the world. Eventually, I picked myself up and began doing whatever possible in order to return as a singer." After changing his mindset and starting fresh, Oh continued, "I randomly came across an old man that was doing valet parking for a restaurant I was coming out of. He was the man that gave me my own private space in the sauna. We were living in different places now, but we had both started anew. For a short moment, we exchanged glances, but that was all that was needed to express all that we wanted to say." When asked by Kang Ho Dong, how his living situation was now, Oh replied, "I live in a one-room studio for now, but I'm able to live on my own with the money I'm making."
