Song Ga-in confessed her special affection for senior trot singer Joo Hyun-mi on KBS2's 'Immortal Songs'.
The KBS2 entertainment program 'Immortal Songs - Singing the Legends' aired on the 4th as a special featuring Joo Hyun-mi.
On this episode, singers Lee Ji-hoon, Son Jun-ho, Tae Sa-ja, and Kim Young-min appeared.
In particular, Song Ga-in expressed, "I respect her the most. She is my role model," toward her senior Joo Hyun-mi.
When MC Jung Jae-hyung asked, "You have a connection from singing on 'National Singing Contest,' right?" Song Ga-in revealed, "I won the grand prize with Joo Hyun-mi's song 'Jeongmal Johaenne' (It Was Really Good)."
She added, "I also prepared 'Jeongmal Johaenne' for today." The MCs then joked that this was unfair, causing laughter.
Song Ga-in shared her feelings, saying, "She is my favorite senior. Winning first place on her side would be especially meaningful."
Meanwhile, Song Ga-in appeared under her real name Jo Eun-sim on the December 2010 broadcast of 'National Singing Contest Jindo Edition,' passionately singing Joo Hyun-mi's 'Jeongmal Johaenne.' At that time, she won the grand prize with her solid vocal skills. Since then, the video has become a hot topic among netizens.
