Speaking with Yendi Phillipps, Chin said there came a point when she felt so much resentment towards The Voice that she stopped watching the show and particularly the season she appeared in.
“I had a hard time looking back at things to do with The Voice for a very long time… I think it was connected to everything that happened after … which was not what everyone expected, not what I expected, and I just felt like this massive big disappointment, I felt like an absolute failure,” she said.
