Shin made the remark at a press conference, held Monday afternoon at Tokyo International Forum prior to his concert in the city, opening up to reporters about the incident from last fall which took a hit on the famed singer's career.
He made headlines in October when he was charged with a 10 million won fine for gambling in Macau on several occasions.
"After the incident, I thought that I should take time off for self-reflection but a lot of things were tangled up," explained the singer. "I had been preparing many things even before it broke out... It was a time when we needed to push forth the things we had been putting off. It meant a lot to me personally because it was my first album in Japan but I didn't feel comfortable."
He released the debut album titled "Find Voice In Song," and a greatest hits compilation "Shin Hye-sung Collection 2010 - My Everything" only a few months after he was slapped with the charges.
The singer further explained that he went through a "very difficult time" dealing with the guilt that he had let down his fans, family and other singers as well.
"I am human too.. I worried a lot over whether I could ever be a singer again," said the former pop idol.
Shin held his first solo concert in Japan, titled "2010 SHS 'Find voice in Song' Tour in Tokyo," on June 6 and 7, which attracted some 7,000 fans.
Meanwhile, Shin said that he is also planning on releasing an album in Korea in the fall and asked for the fans' support in making his comeback to the local music scene.
"I would like to apologize again to fans, whom I had let down, from the bottom of my heart," he said. "Please help me so that I can perform on stage again in Korea."
Shin Hye-sung, whose real name is Jung Pil-kyo, debuted in 1998 as the lead singer of popular boy band Shinhwa. He has released two solo debut albums "Love of May" (2005) and "The Beginning, New Days" (2007).
