[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] Singer Jo Myungseop performed on stage, passionately singing various songs to celebrate Parents' Day on the 8th.
On the 8th, Jo Myungseop appeared on KBS 1TV's educational program 'Achimmadang.' That day, Jo performed the song "Rainy Gomoryeong," originally released by singer Hyun In in 1948.
He explained the reason for choosing the song, saying, "It's a song my mother likes," and added, "I wanted to dedicate this song to all parents on Parents' Day."
He continued, "I am 22 years old this year, and my hometown is Wonju, Gangwon-do," and said, "When I was young, I lived with my grandmother, mother, and maternal uncle at my maternal home. We went through many hardships, but I am happy to have become a singer. I am grateful to my family who raised me."
Afterward, he passionately sang "Shilla's Moonlit Night," the song that received the most requests from 'Achimmadang' viewers.
Singer Yoon Hyanggi, who enjoyed the performance, praised, "He even pronounces Hyun In's song exactly the same," and said, "Listening with my eyes closed, it sounds identical. He is really good."
