Appearing as a Golden Star on TV CHOSUN's "Golden Friday" episode 30, which airs on the 17th, will be singer and actor Im Chang-jung. On this day, 10 trot stars participating in the competition will hold a death match featuring Im Chang-jung's numerous hit songs including "A Glass of Soju," "Then Again," and "Will You Marry Me." In his opening performance, Im Chang-jung sang "A Glass of Soju" at the top of his lungs, immediately commanding the atmosphere, and the cast members showered him with admiration for his unchanged quality vocals.
Before the full-fledged competition, tension ran high among the participants. This is because Im Chang-jung's songs require high vocal range and tight breathing control. In fact, Im Chang-jung himself mentioned that "going live could jeopardize my singing career," and notoriously difficult songs appeared in the competition, heightening the tension.
Among them, Son Bin-ah selected "Then Again," which won Im Chang-jung the Music Awards, making her bold move. Taking the stage, Son Bin-ah boldly removed his existing trot vocal style and transformed into a ballad singer with deep emotion, drawing attention. From the very first verse, his stage provided immersion, and the cast members lavished praise on him for completely changing his vocal technique.
Meanwhile, Im Chang-jung also reveals shocking behind-the-scenes stories from when he won the Music Awards through the mega-hits "Then Again" and "Will You Marry Me" in the past. He confessed, "I received all the criticism I could possibly receive in a lifetime back then," and "people in the audience all left while I was singing," sparking curiosity about the real story hidden behind the moment of glory.
The fierce death match featuring Im Chang-jung's masterpieces will air on TV CHOSUN on Friday the 17th at 10 p.m.
