The singer HWANG YUN SUNG made a triumphant return to “Son Tae-jin’s Trot Radio” as the 4th placer of “무명전설 Unknown legend”, demonstrating increased maturity and a joyful spirit.
Appearing in the 3rd and 4th parts of the MBC FM4U show “Son Tae-jin’s Trot Radio” (hereinafter “Sontra”) broadcast on the afternoon of November 11, HWANG YUN SUNG extended warm greetings: “Sontra family, hello, this is Hwang Yun Sung returning after a long time in 4th place of ‘Unknown Legend’.” He revealed his special affection for the program by declaring: “I had regrets when graduating from ‘Tomorrow is a Sunny Day’, but I think I have grown a lot since then,” adding: “The ‘Sontra’ family is like my parents.”
Regarding his goals during his participation in “Unknown Legend”, he revealed that he attached importance to growth rather than ranking, asserting: “I didn’t take on the challenge by setting a ranking for myself. Because numbers became a pressure, I wanted to hear words like ‘Yun Sung has become even more of a trot singer than before’.” To this, presenter Lee Hwi Jun was ecstatic over his distinctly more mature appearance, saying: “He equipped himself with an adult charm in the space of a year.”
In addition, HWANG YUN SUNG brought warmth by reminiscing about collapsing in tears as soon as he saw his parents’ faces during the final trial, leaving a video-letter: “I think I obtained good results thanks to the unreserved support of you two. I love you very much.”
He also unveiled his special bond with his close friend Lee Chan Won. HWANG YUN SUNG transmitted his gratitude by stating: “Even if I want to pay for his food, he doesn’t let me open my wallet,” and: “I would like to offer him a delicious meal one day.” He then revealed that he ended up presenting in “Legendary man” the song “메밀꽃 필무렵” by Lee Chan Won, which he regretted not having been able to sing during the contest, then delivered an improvised live performance. Listening to it, presenter Lee Hwi Jun reacted by saying: “I would like to hear more of it,” and HWANG YUN SUNG transmitted the sincerity contained in the choice of the song by declaring: “It was even more pressure because it was a close friend’s song. I did my best to preserve the track.”
In the “Friendship Balance Game” that followed, he demonstrated extraordinary loyalty toward Lee Chan Won. Between “A sauna with Lee Chan Won promised a month ago vs A duet stage with Lady Gaga at the Grammy Awards”, HWANG YUN SUNG chose the sauna, asserting: “I am someone who attaches importance to promises made in advance.” He displayed his side as a man of his word who puts a promise with a friend before a stage with a global pop star.
On the occasion of Pepero Day, while they were sharing listeners’ confession stories, an anecdote of a youth confession by HWANG YUN SUNG was also unveiled. Asked about his confession experience, HWANG YUN SUNG confessed: “I remember saying over the phone that I liked someone toward the end of middle school or the 1st year of high school.” To the question of whether this turned into a romantic relationship, he aroused curiosity by responding shyly: “The result is…”, displaying a smile heavy with meaning before adding: “It’s such an old story and from when I was young.”
HWANG YUN SUNG instilled a joyful energy into this gloomy afternoon by passionately interpreting “난리 부르스”. Having vividly warmed up the atmosphere thanks to unwavering live skills despite a spectacular performance, HWANG YUN SUNG tinged “Sontra” with heart flutterings by also interpreting “연애편지” by Lim Young Woong and “애인이 돼주세요” by Sul Woon Do with a soft timbre.
Additionally, HWANG YUN SUNG, who snagged 4th place overall in “Unknown Legend”, pursues energetic activities, notably taking the stage for the national concert tour as a member of the TOP 7.
