Trot emperor Song Ga-in boasted about her friendship with her brother.
On the 25th, SBS's entertainment show "Shoes Off, Dolsing Four Men" (hereafter "Dolsing Four Men") featured singer Song Ga-in. She received great applause for singing her new song "Asadal," which expresses a deep, sorrowful love.
Another new song by Song Ga-in, "Tears Fall," gained attention for its unique backstory, which is the composition by singer Sim Soo-bong. Song Ga-in noted, "Sim Soo-bong gave a song to her junior for the first time. She did not take any composition fee."
Song Ga-in conveyed her secret, stating, "I went to look for Sim Soo-bong without any hesitation. Her house is near mine. It was as if she had a song written already, so the timing was perfect," while Lee Sang-min commented, "She takes all the fortune in the world. She's someone who really doesn't give songs."
Song Ga-in had a unique background as she came from a family of traditional Korean musicians. From her debut, Song Ga-in has been extraordinary. Lee Sang-min stated, "Song Ga-in is said to have debuted on 'National Singing Contest.'" Her appearance at that time was thanks to her mother's encouragement. Song Ga-in and her mother, who also appeared in 1993, sang "Jindo Arirang."
Additionally, Song Ga-in's brother, Song Seong-jae, was also a traditional Korean musician. He was an ajaeng player and had won the grand prize at the National Traditional Music Awards in 2024. Lee Sang-min asked, "Since he is two years older, they went to school together."
Song Ga-in said, "We both attended the same arts high school and the same Chung-Ang University. In traditional music, my brother was more famous, so I was known as Seong-jae's younger sister, but now I'm more famous, and they call me Ga-in's brother."
Song Ga-in continued, "My brother said he wouldn't date because he's so righteous. He said he would do everything, but he absolutely wouldn't. Now he doesn't say anything about it." She added, "This makes me wonder if people should do well. People tend not to speak ill of others," showcasing her witty remarks.
