Jazz singer Nah Youn-sun / Courtesy of NPLUGBy Park Ji-wonJazz singer Nah Youn-sun has been one of Korea's most active singers, performing and spending time outside of Korea, especially in France. But the COVID-19 pandemic has canceled stage performances and, like many other musicians, she has been anxiously longing for the end of the pandemic, as she has otherwise had a hard time finding meaning doing music.She said during an interview with The Korea Times in Seoul, Friday, that at the beginning of the pandemic, “I felt my life was a mistake. I was almost thinking of quitting my career as a musician. I was happy because I spent a lot of time with my family in Korea, but at the same time, I left my home in Europe and musical career there. I was missing home while being stuck at home. So it was tough to endure a life without music, and at the same time thought that doing music was a luxury while people were dying. I ended up failing to listen to music and making music only about a year after the outbreak of the virus.”Nah has included her own compositions from time to time
