덕분에…비 라는 이름으로 데뷔 햇수 19년차가 되었습니다 우리 함께 했던 그 첫방송이 기억납니다 2002년 4월24일~ 작은 연습실에서 나와 “비”라는 이름을 달고 과연 많은 분들께 이름을 알릴 수 있을까 이것이 첫방이자 마지막이 되진 않을까 밤잠을 설치고 첫 무대를 했습니다…그 기억 어렵게 구했습니다 오늘은 함께 공유하고 싶네요^^ 첫 1기 구름 팬클럽부터 지금까지 우리 구름 식구들 넘 감사하고 사랑합니다. Thanks to all my fans who have supported me throughout the years, today marks 19 years since I first released my debut album. I still vividly remember leaving the small practice room to perform for the first time on April 24th 2002. On this special day, I want to share a hidden gem I found of me right before this performance. A big thanks to my cloud family who have been with me since day one. I love you all!
