Jannabi Choi Jeong-hoon, a shy spectator

[My Daily = Reporter Park Seo-yeon] Jannabi's Choi Jung-hoon will touch the hearts of viewers on 'Radio Star' with his high-quality emotional voice and sincere music stories. He will fill the studio with emotion by performing a medley of hit songs and a new song stage with his own guitar performance, as well as telling the story of a handwritten letter with Sanulrim's Kim Chang-wan and the philosophy behind the lyrics.

The MBC 'Radio Star' broadcast on the 21st will feature a special on 'The King of the End' featuring Baek Ji-yeon, Hong Hyun-hee, Choi Jeong-hoon, and Min Kyung-ah.

On this day, Choi Jung Hoon livened up the atmosphere with his self-introduction as a “shy official.” He performed the title song “In the Name of Love!” from his recently released fourth full-length album, and told the behind-the-scenes story of his featuring collaboration with Karina from aespa, making everyone laugh with a slip of the tongue(?) by saying “Karina’s aespa.”

He caught everyone's attention by coming with a new album and a short handwritten letter from the beginning. He said, "I gained courage after watching Mr. Kim Chang-wan's episode," and also revealed the story of a short handwritten letter he received from Kim Chang-wan in the past. "When I sang a song on a live radio broadcast in 2017, Mr. Kim wrote a phrase for me. I framed it and kept it," he said, sharing a special memory.

In particular, he said, “Is it okay to sing this many songs on ‘Radio Star’?” and came out on stage to turn the studio into a ‘corner concert.’ When he performed an emotional medley along with playing the guitar himself, everyone fell for his sweet voice.

Choi Jung-hoon chose the award he was most proud of as “winning two awards at the 2020 Korean Popular Music Awards in the ‘Song of the Year’ and ‘Best Modern Rock Song’ categories for ‘For Lovers Who Hesitate.’”

He revealed, “I write lyrics almost all by myself,” and delighted our ears by presenting a ‘Medley of Favorite Lyrics’ by revealing his favorite lyrics, such as ‘Goodbye Sadness’, ‘Dreams and Books and Strength and Walls’, etc. He also mentioned author Han Kang’s poetry collection ‘I Put Dinner in a Drawer’, saying, “I always carried it around in my bag and got inspiration from it,” drawing attention.

Choi Jung Hoon also mentioned his time as a trainee at an idol agency before forming Jannabi. He said, “I was a trainee at FNC Entertainment for about a year and a half when I was 20 years old,” and “At the time, I practiced with my N.Flying friends, but we had different musical directions and I couldn’t express the team’s style, so I left,” drawing attention with his honest confession.

The ear-pleasing corner concert of emotional king Jannabi's Choi Jung-hoon can be seen on 'Radio Star' that airs at 10:30 PM tonight.
