Noel appeared in a video titled 'Noel and Shoes Off EP.86 | High School Rapper After School', released on the 26th through the YouTube channel 'SPNS TV'.
Noel said about himself, "I am basically a person with a lot of anxiety. I appeared on 'High School Rapper' at a time when my ego was not properly formed," and added, "Every time my followers increased by 5,000 per minute, it felt like earning 10 billion won with Bitcoin."
Noel described his life as "feeling like riding a bicycle with no hands" and said, "My experience in the detention center became a turning point that gave me a sense of alarm." Noel said, "I live every day on high alert to keep myself from completely falling into an abyss if things go wrong just one more step in the detention center."
Noel said about his life in the detention center, "I was confined for exactly 365 days, a full year. I experienced all four seasons, but the heating and cooling systems didn't work properly. The fan would run for 50 minutes and stop for 10 minutes, and there was no air conditioning. I used a solitary cell, and the room was really small. There was nothing to do but write letters and sleep."
He continued, "It was so stifling that I asked to change rooms, but it was rejected for fear that I might be harmed. In the end, I used the room alone for all 365 days. I gained a lot of weight because I did nothing," and confessed, "I ate two boxes of Choco Pies and four packs of sausages. I was 58kg when I went in, but 95kg when I came out. Because I barely spoke, I even became aphasic. I forgot how to speak."
Noel said, "My mom cried a lot when I was transferred to the detention center. As soon as I entered the solitary cell, I also shed tears," and added, "I'm sorry to my parents. I received more love and a better environment than others, but for a while, I lived estranged from my family."
Noel then spoke about his dormitory life in Jeju Island, saying, "My family sent me there to provide a good environment, but at that time, I wanted to be with my family," and added, "After I started earning a lot of money for the first time since I was 19, I approached my father, understood the feeling of 'it's lonely for a man to earn money like this,' and we often had heartfelt conversations."
