In a recent podcast interview, KC looked back at a pivotal moment during her hosting stint at Binibining Pilipinas in 2016, where she first became aware of what she was going through.
"I think the moment was 2016 when I hosted Binibining Pilipinas. ... I just remembered, I really enjoyed hosting Binibining Pilipinas, I was comfortable in Araneta Coliseum and with that crowd, it was so exciting. I never thought that I would pause. And it was a voluntary pause. But I think at that time, I didn't know to be super honest, that I was grieving the death of my grandma from two years before pa," said Concepcion.
She also recalled experiencing severe exhaustion during that period.

"Actually, I don't tell a lot of people this, but during Binibining Pilipinas, during hosting the show itself, I was going through extreme fatigue, chronic fatigue. Sobrang pagod na hindi na kaya ng kape. ...Akala ko it was my sugar. Akala ko antok lang o pagod kasi ang daming work... What happened when I got home that night I was in my gown and noong time na 'yon wala akong kasama... I wasn't used to help so ako lang mag-isa. You know, I woke up the next day... I was in my full makeup, in my gown sa sahig. Parang gumapang ako to the bathroom, parang hindi na ako umabot, parang nag-pass out ako. ... and half of my body was nasa floor and half was nasa bed," she said.
Following medical consultation, she learned her condition was linked to chronic fatigue and stress.
"They saw my lungs were getting affected, lagi na akong inuubo," she said.
KC described her time away from the spotlight as a “semi-retirement,” which allowed her to reset.
"I semi-retired. I did an accidental hibernation," she said.
During this period, she pursued jewelry studies and eventually built her own brand.
"I didn't realize that that's what I wanted until I started to listen to my inner self. My heart, or not my heart, my gut, I don't know what it is, but I started listening to myself in a way, and wanted to give myself a chance to create another version of be an extension of me," she said.
