On the July 19th broadcast of KBS 2TV's 'Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook', when asked if she ever cried while singing, Ailee shared, "The first time I cried while singing happened after I made my debut in Korea and I sang the Korean national anthem at the opening ceremony for a baseball game. I cried then."
"There weren't any opportunities for me to sing the Korean national anthem in the States. While I attended school in the States, I always thought of myself as a Korean person and I shared the Korean culture with my American friends. But I was finally able to sing the Korean national anthem for the first time."
"After I finished singing, I was able to hear the cheers from the audience and I felt like we all became one through the Korean national anthem so I spilled tears", sharing her pride as a Korean artist.
