Kim Yeon-ja recalled her prime.
On the 17th, Kim Yeon-ja grants on Channel A's 'Best Friend Documentary - Four-Person Table' (hereafter called Four-Person Table), inviting trot juniors Hong Ji-yoon (30s), Kim So-yeon (20s), and Hwang Min-ho (teens) to achieve generational integration.
Kim Yeon-ja said, "We invited our juniors. We have a lot in common. The commonality is that we all come from audition backgrounds. We all started singing from a young age. I wanted to achieve some generational integration as well."
Kim Yeon-ja reminisced about the time she participated in auditions. He said, "I was about fifteen, so I don't remember well. I was scolded a lot by the judges for mimicking teacher Im Yeong-ja. So, when I was in the finals, I sang a song by teacher Patty Kim."
Kim Yeon-ja asked why Kim So-yeon chose her as a role model. Kim So-yeon explained, "You debuted at a young age, and you have been a long-lasting star. You challenge other genres as well, and you continually do other things. That's why I chose you as my role model."
Kim Yeon-ja also recalled her activities in Japan. She said, "The first was in '77, and the next was in '88. At that time, I went all in for 20 years. I discontinued activities in my home country. I was lucky; I realized I couldn't just sing enka. I have been to every place in Japan. I experienced my second prime in Japan."
Kim Yeon-ja reflected on how busy she was when there were many events. She said, "When there were many events, I had five in a day. In my case, I had an event in Daegu and then had to go to Incheon, so I took a helicopter. Honestly, don't helicopters fly low? I once took a helicopter when it was raining, and if it had been normal, I would have cried. The KUKBO sisters in front of me cried even more; one of them cried a lot. I was laughing at that."
