Junsu also stated in an interview on Mnet's Starwatch that during this hardship he had a tough time, and was very angry with himself. The doctor told him not to yell or even talk, but he would only yell and talk more in the bitterness of wanting his voice back. He even went to the rooftop and screamed and cried, begging God for his voice back. Miraculously, his wish was granted, and Junsu once said he wonders if all that screaming is why his voice is so husky now.
