From a young age, Yesung expressed an interest in singing. In 1999, he joined a broadcast singing competition and won gold at the Cheonan Singing Competition. In 2001, Yesung's mother signed him up to audition for SM Entertainment's Starlight Casting System, in which he impressed the judges with his "artistic voice", and signed as trainee under SM Entertainment that same year. His label given him stage name Yesung which is derived from the Korean phrase "예술가의 성대" (lit. meaning: vocal cords of an artist) and can be translated as an "art-like voice".
During his military service in February 2014, Yesung joined the ballad group SM the Ballad, initially formed by SM Entertainment in 2010. On the group's second album, he had a solo song: "Blind".

네가 온 순간
좀 급하게 만든 약속 혹시 눈치 챘으려나
너를 본 순간
숨기지 못하는 내 맘 많이 티 났을 거야
우린 어떤 사이인 거니
지금처럼 앞이 아닌 바로 옆자리에
지금보다 훨씬 더 가까운 곳에 있고 싶어
Na na na na na na (na na na na na na)
Na na na na na na
왜 자꾸 넌 웃기만 해 역시 알고 있던 거야
모른 척하고
딴 얘기로 돌리지 마 아직 대답 안 했잖아
놀리지 말고
나 왜 이런걸까 이상하게 말을 더듬어
우린 어떤 사이인 거니 (거니)
편한 친구 사이란 말은 싫은데
지금처럼 앞이 아닌 바로 옆자리에
지금보다 훨씬 더 가까운 곳에 있고 싶어
고민하는 모습도 예쁜 너 yeah
그냥 고갤 들어 날 봐줘
우린 오늘부턴 거니
마침 오늘따라 날씨도 좋아
항상 꿈꿔왔던 시간 바로 지금이야
매일 혼자 연습했었던 그 말, 사랑해 너를 oh oh yeah oh oh yeah
The lyrics of 예성's song "Between" depict a romantic and affectionate moment between two people. The warm sunshine and pleasant scent create a joyful atmosphere as the person in the lyrics arrives. The singer wonders if the person noticed their hastily made promise. The moment they see each other, their true feelings cannot be concealed, revealing their obvious excitement.
The chorus expresses the singer's desire for a closer relationship, questioning what kind of relationship they have. They dislike the idea of being just comfortable friends and long to be closer, wanting to be by their side rather than just in front of them. They wish to be even closer to the person, indicating a desire for a deeper connection and intimacy.
In the second verse, the singer perceives that the person knows more than they let on, finding amusement in their teasing behavior. They request the person not to divert the conversation and remind them that they haven't given an answer yet. The singer reflects on their own inability to communicate clearly, questioning why they stumble over words in such a strange way.
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's dislike for being labeled as "just friends" and their longing for closer proximity. They express admiration for the person's beautiful appearance even when they are in contemplation. Lastly, the lyrics convey that from today onwards, they are in a new phase of their relationship, and they highlight the perfect timing of the weather. The singer acknowledges that this is the moment they have always dreamed of and confesses their love.
