"I debut in a musical in 2012. As I was doing it my eyes were diverted. Before that, I used to think that it is important for the melody to be beautiful and the pronounciation to be perfect. However, when I did musical, I found out that it is really a fun song when my audiences knows what I am singing about. So now, I feel that as a singer, my first condition has to be delivery, comfort and sympathy. As I did musical for 6-7 years now, I learn something new everytime. I want to continue doing musical. I want to work hard to that I can run in a parallel line as a singer and in musical, and I want to become someone who can do good music.

Sandeul is also the DJ for MBC Standard FM "Sandeul Starry Night". His unique cheerful energy and speech continues to attract people.

"Starry Night" has given me lots of energy recently. Actually, up till now, I haven;t got any chance to talk so much to people. However, I talk to a huge crowd of people whom faces I dont know on "Starry Night". As I do it, I became very used to talking. When I did a performance, I asked one of my friend who had done a solo concert before. "I was nervous and scarerd, what are you most worried about?" The friend replied, "Are you not nervous about leading your performance and making your performance fun?" I am weird. I am not worried about that. Compared to that, I am more scared about something I haven't done before, singing more than 20 songs and leading it."

Musically wise, Sandeul had an experience which he couldn't forget. He participated in Song Camp which happened in Berlin, Germany, past April, collaborating with North Europe song writers, he made the song "This love".

"Song camp was a romance. After shooting for my album jacket and music video, I heard that there was a Song Camp so I ended up going for it. At first i imagined it as a camp with a bonfire and playing  music on an acoustic guitar. However, they made it at a studio in a zone at an abandoned airport in the center of Berlin. It was a system whereby you go into each room and have a collaboration with the writers inside. Three of us sat in a small room side by side and talked in English. Because I am not good in English, I only greeted. Will asked what kind of music did I wanted to make, so I replied him, I wanted to sing with a relaxed voice and played him so reference. That friend suddenly just played something and it was really good. From there, we built the melody. As we couldn't communicate well, we made it using our own ways. Basically, as these friends are people who lived in Europe, so the song has a European style pop feeling to it."

He revealed an episode which we couldn't laugh at while he was preparing his album.

"I worked really hard on my diet. I ate salad for all my three meals. Lethargy was really scary. I didn't wanted to do anything. My body was tired and I had to sing, but the song couldn't come out. I had no idea how to sing the song. I was having a meltdown. Originally I wanted to diet for a month but I started eating after 2 weeks. When my weight came back up, my song came back too."
