[OSEN=김나연 기자] DJ DOC’s Lee Ha-neul spoke frankly about the rumors of a discord with Kim Chang-yeol and his thoughts on performing as a full group.
On the 5th, a video titled “Lee Ha-neul talks about his feud with Kim Chang-yeol… What is the truth??!!” was uploaded to the ‘Choi Moo-bae TV’ channel.
DJ DOC Lee Ha-neul appeared as a guest in this video. When asked about communication with the members, he honestly said, “I think it’s been almost two years since I haven’t contacted Changyeol. I contacted Jaeyong not long ago and we often keep in touch.”
Previously, Lee Ha-neul passed away her younger brother Lee Hyun-bae in 2021. When asked what changed after sending his younger brother, he said, “First, life became depressed. Even though I was smiling, it suddenly came back to me. I’ve never experienced it, but I felt like an orphan. Then, there were times when it was difficult and I had a lot of bad thoughts. But I had to live anyway, so I turned to other things. “I’m trying to overcome it. Another change is that I don’t look too far ahead in life. I have to live hard. Things don’t always go the way I want, but I’m trying to live with gratitude. I don’t take everything for granted, I’m thankful,” he confessed.
However, after Lee Hyun-bae’s death, Lee Ha-neul had a conflict with member Kim Chang-yeol and was embroiled in rumors of discord. He invested in a guest house with the members, but Kim Chang-yeol reversed the investment, saying the investment cost was higher than expected. Accordingly, Lee Han-bae took on the investment money, and after Lee Han-bae left, Lee Ha-neul had an emotional battle, claiming that Kim Chang-yeol was responsible for his death.
In response, Lee Ha-neul asked, “For those who don’t know, why isn’t DJ DOC on the show? I think I can do it,” and said, “I don’t know where to start and how to explain.”
He said, “Even though we have been together for a long time and are brothers for a long time, due to something, our feelings for each other deepened and we stopped seeing each other. It is difficult to smile again in a situation that has not been resolved. However, as time passed, I hated him to death and thought of him as an enemy. “I’ve been thinking for a while now that it’s better to meet and talk for a while rather than not seeing each other for the rest of my life. I told Jaeyong that I should call him and meet him and see him. We have some problems that need to be resolved one way or another when we meet once, and it won’t be possible to just talk for a moment, but I still have to see him,” he said.
He continued, “It’s a bit personal of me to say this without listening to Chang-yeol’s story, but after talking with Jae-yong, we came to the conclusion that it’s still too early. Conversation is better when we can understand each other’s pain, such as feeling sorry for each other. “Isn’t that okay? But right now, both me and Changyeol seem to think that they have been harmed or hurt, so I think it’s too early to talk to Changyeol yet,” he said honestly.
Lee Ha-neul said, “I am open,” but “Chang-yeol is not answering the phone.” He added, “I’ll stop talking about it here. There will be stories that I don’t know about and situations that I don’t know about, so I don’t want to officially say that she’s trash or that she’s bad or something like that.”
On the other hand, when asked about DJ DOC’s stage and plans to release a new song, Lee Ha-neul said, “Rather than ending it like this, at least we have made a living thanks to (fans) for nearly 30 years. We would like to thank the people who liked us and listened to our music. “Thanks to you, I made a living, but if it’s retirement, my personal opinion is that I want to do things like retire and hold one last concert.”
He said, “A bad relationship is not a good thing. Shouldn’t we stand on stage together and say hello to each other on the last stage together? That’s what I’m thinking. So, if I talk to Changyeol, even if we have to use separate waiting rooms. Don’t we always have to be close and be together? “In some ways, business is business, so I’m thinking that we should have our last concert together.”
