FLY TO THE SKY Announces Return After 8 Years

FLY TO THE SKY has announced its return after an eight-year hiatus. On the 27th, Brian posted images on social media with captions reading “Did you hear the news?”, “It’s true what Hwanhee said~ We’re coming back!”, and “I know y’all heard the news, we're coming back!”. The photos showed Brian working in a recording studio alongside Hwanhee. During an episode of KBS 2TV’s “Salimnam 2” that aired on the same day, Hwanhee made a surprise announcement stating, “FLY TO THE SKY is returning after 8 years”.

**Background for the Return** In January, Brian appeared on the YouTube channel “Donghae-mul-gwa Baekdu-eunhyuk” and was asked if his vocal condition had reached a point where he could no longer sing. He replied, “It’s not that bad, I think,” but admitted, “I can’t control my mindset mentally.” He explained, “Even when practicing alone, I wonder if I really can’t do it, or if my brain is telling me I shouldn’t anymore. Because I can’t do it, I feel frustrated, and that makes me hate singing.” Hwanhee expressed that while she respected Brian’s opinion, he was originally someone who sang very well, suggesting it might be a “false signal from the brain” and adding that his strong obsession with being unable to sing due to long inactivity likely contributed to the issue.

**Activity Plans** Hwanhee clarified, “I know trot fans might worry, but it’s not that we won’t do trot music. We’ll first deliver FLY TO THE SKY’s music and then gradually introduce trot songs.” She continued, “We’ve been talking about this for a while. Last year, Brian came to my solo concert and sang. He said he really wants to stand on stage again.” Brian added, “If Hwanhee decides to release a duet song, I think we can record it.”

**Previous Activities** FLY TO THE SKY stopped its activities in 2017. Last April, Brian explained on MBC’s “Radio Star” why he hadn’t performed for so long by saying, “It’s not that my throat hurts, but my control over my voice has weakened significantly.” During their previous activity period, he had disclosed that he suffered from a mental health issue known as Yips.
