Hwanhee shared the backstory of his recent shift to the trot music genre. The 'Radio Star' show will air a special episode called “Wise Colleague Life” with guests like Lee Yeon Bok, Jang Shin Young, Brian, and Hwanhee.

Contrary to speculation, Hwanhee clarified that his move to trot wasn't due to financial struggles but stemmed from a desire to please his mother. Despite his reservations about fitting into the trot genre after being part of an R&B duo, he made the decision to pursue it for his mother's sake.

Even though some fans expressed concerns to Brian about Hwanhee's venture into trot, Brian firmly supported Hwanhee's choice. Hwanhee felt touched by Brian's backing. The rumors about financial difficulties were dispelled by Hwanhee, who explained that those challenges happened when he changed agencies with Fly to the Sky. These old stories resurfacing led to misunderstandings, which he didn't feel compelled to publicly correct due to their inaccuracy.
