[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Trot singer Hwang Yoon-sung (24) expressed surprise at the change in his popularity compared to his idol days.
On the morning of the 25th, KBS1's 'Morning Yard' featured singers Hwang Yoon-sung, Kim Soo-chan, Na Tae-joo, Kang Tae-kwan, Lee Dae-won, and Kim Kyung-min, all from TV Chosun's 'Mr. Trot,' in the
During the broadcast, Hwang Yoon-sung said, "Recently, I visited a market with Kang Tae-kwan. While eating jjimdak, I couldn't leave the restaurant," adding, "Aunties kept asking for autographs and photos, so I was trapped for about 30 minutes to an hour. It felt like holding a fan signing event."
He continued, "When I was an idol, no one recognized me. But after switching to trot and appearing on competition programs, many people recognized me," expressing his amazement.
Hwang Yoon-sung added, "When I sign autographs now, the age range of fans has increased and become more diverse. When I was an idol, I often heard people call me 'oppa.' I was told to cheer for them because they had to take the college entrance exam. But now, it's 'noona,' 'nunim,' 'yeosanim,' and 'eomeonim.' However, when signing, they ask me to write 'noona,'" he explained.
Hwang Yoon-sung debuted in 2015 as a member of the idol group Romeo. Later, he switched to trot and gained recognition by appearing on TV Chosun's variety show 'Mr. Trot.'
