\u201cAt first, I was worried that my mental capacity wouldn\u2019t be able to handle it. After all, there\u2019s a lot to think about, how to guide the singer into the spirit of the song, how to teach them to convey its mood\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Fortunately, as time passed, he gradually adapted to the work rhythm.<\/p>\n
He also spent three days recording one song to make sure he could keep up physically.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I would ask for breaks in between. The singer needs it, I need it too. We\u2019d take a short five-minute rest before continuing,” explained the songwriter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a rumour in the industry that I\u2019m a very fierce producer. That\u2019s not true, I\u2019m actually kind and approachable, not as scary as people say. We always take breaks, we\u2019re not robots,” he quipped.<\/p>\n
Looking back on his rehabilitation journey, Lee Si Song said the most challenging part was the physical therapy that began two weeks after the surgery.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt that time, my right brain didn\u2019t seem to have fully recovered, so my sense of balance was very poor, I couldn\u2019t even stand up,” he recalled.<\/p>\n
“But I\u2019m stubborn and like to challenge myself, so I forced myself to stand up and accidentally aggravated old injuries in my ankle and knee.\u201d<\/p>\n
His injury then prompted his doctors to pause his physical therapy, which caused him to be emotionally affected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt like I had failed and was very disheartened. But fortunately, my family and medical staff kept encouraging me. After resting for almost five weeks, I restarted therapy,” he said.<\/p>\n
By then, Lee Si Song’s right brain had recovered about 90 per cent.<\/p>\n
“When I stood up again, it felt completely different. My balance felt natural, almost the same as before I fell ill. But since I hadn\u2019t been moving for a long time, my legs were quite weak. So I began training every day, gradually regaining strength in my legs.\u201d<\/p>\n
