'K-Pop Star 3' contestant Nam Young Joo wasn't able to hold back her tears when she reminisced about everything she did to get to this stage in her life.


"I wanted to be a singer when I was young, and I had the opportunities too," she said in a behind-the-scenes interview on the latest episode. "I made a contract with a small label and released four digital singles. But I couldn't stand on stage - it was harder than I expected. I finished without ever standing on the stage."

Nam Young Joo had promoted under the stage name 'RAM'. "I debated whether or not I should quit. I was tired and couldn't see my future. I even lost all hope."


"My younger sibling wanted to go on 'K-Pop Star'. I said I wasn't going to go, but I went anyway. Then we ended up running into each other at the audition," she said. "I feel bad about this, but I ended up getting in and my sibling didn't make it."

"My favorite part was being able to stand on stage. I really felt like a singer, not like before, when I was a singer in name only. Now, I want to become a real singer. I want to become someone who can answer with a confident yes when someone asks me if I am a singer," she said.
