Ailess was the guest on the May 15 episode of 'Fantastic Duo,' during which she choked up after seeing all of her passionate fans, many of whom also harbor big dreams to make it as a singer. 

After composing herself, Ailee said, "Like you said, there were lots of part-time workers [among my fans]. I had also worked diligently part-time in New York, and I didn't give up my dream to become a singer," recalling her past struggles to rise to where she is today. 

She continued tearfully, "I'm thankful that my songs can relieve all those hard-working people of their stress and that they sang my song. I was really moved by everyone." 

It must be quite an ineffable feeling knowing your songs give hope and inspiration to so many people!
