Singer LEE SU YEON from TOTALSET, a label renowned for trot music, reinterpreted a classic by CHO YONG PIL.
On October 3, LEE SU YEON appeared on KBS2’s Chuseok special show, “조용필, 이 순간을 영원히 (CHO YONG PIL, CE MOMENT POUR TOUJOURS)”, aired as a prequel. That day, she shared the stage with SON BUM SOO, LENA PARK, MUZIE, and JO YOUNG GU, all of whom share a special connection with CHO YONG PIL, expressing deep respect for the legend.
LEE SU YEON stated: “I have known Master CHO YONG PIL for about five years. I have always loved the song “기다리는 아픔”.” She also spoke about the singer’s career, which has earned the love of the public over decades, adding: “A legend remains a legend.”
During the show, LEE SU YEON chose “한 오백 년” as CHO YONG PIL’s representative song and delivered a tribute performance in her own style. She performed this grand and profound song with her powerful voice and unique sensitivity. Her vocal strength and intense charisma, despite her small stature, captivated the audience, proving once again that she possesses talent that transcends generations.
After her performance, KIM EANA commented: “I expected a gentle stage, filled with LEE SU YEON’s charm, but the result was incredibly impressive.” JO YOUNG GU added: “CHO YONG PIL’s songs are very difficult to sing. The octaves are high; many singers lower the key, but LEE SU YEON truly has a voice given by heaven.”
