Touching Story of '30-Year Unknown Singer' at Bus Stop Goes Viral... Revealed to Be Singer Lee Hyun-sub

A post on social media claiming that a "30-year unknown singer" unexpectedly met at a bus stop at dawn and offered comfort through song has gone viral, and the individual in the story has been identified as singer Lee Hyun-sub, known for singing the original soundtrack of the SBS drama Something Happened in Bali.

On the 14th, a post titled "Let me share a heartwarming story" was uploaded to an online community account.

The author, A, shared their story, writing, "Last week, after failing to transition from an intern to a regular employee, I was so depressed that I drank until late and was sitting at a bus stop waiting for the first bus, crying miserably. A person came up to me and asked, 'Why are you crying here?' and told me, 'I'll give you taxi fare, so go home to a warm place and cry.'"

In the post, A added, "Touched by those words, I shed tears and poured out my sorrowful story, and the man said, 'I am an unknown singer of 30 years, but I haven't given up yet. Listen to my song,' and sang for me," while sharing a photo they took of Lee Hyun-sub at the time.

Emphasizing that "I am writing this because the situation was both funny and touching," A also released a captured image showing a record of Lee Hyun-sub transferring 38,540 won to them for taxi fare. While the exact details have not yet been independently verified, A expressed gratitude, saying, "I felt bad because it seemed like he scraped together all the money in his account to send it to me. Thanks to him, I took a taxi home safely."

Lee Hyun-sub debuted in 2003 after being selected as a new member of Novasonic for their 4th album promotions, making a name for himself that year by singing "My Love." He later rejoined Novasonic in 2009, and since 2012, he has been active as a sub-vocal and twin vocal for the group N.EX.T. In 2020, he appeared as singer number 46 on JTBC's "Sing Again - Unknown Singer Contest," but was eliminated in the first round.
