Singer-songwriter Sungwoo Jeong-a from "Park Bogum's Cantabile" revealed the behind-the-scenes story of the hit song "Let's Run Away".
On the 18th, the KBS2TV music entertainment show "Park Bogum's Cantabile" featured a variety of performances, including Super Junior, celebrating their 20th debut anniversary, and Sungwoo Jeong-a, who graced the first episode of "Cantabile".
After Super Junior, showcasing their unchanging stage skills and continued talk show prowess with their sweet voices, had left the stage, it felt momentarily empty, which was filled like the Milky Way by none other than Sungwoo Jeong-a.
Before Sungwoo Jeong-a's appearance, Park Bogum said, "The guest we have this time is someone who appeared briefly in the first episode, and I'm very glad to welcome her properly" and went on to introduce Sungwoo Jeong-a's song and voice with various adjectives, saying, "This is the stage of Sungwoo Jeong-a, who plays with melody on the rhythm, skates, and dances beautifully."
"Bae-Bird" by Sungwoo Jeong-a was a song that reminded listeners of the wings and feathers of a small bird. Even for newcomers hearing the song, it could evoke the image of a bird chirping on a summer morning.
The talk then began. Park Bogum smiled brightly, saying, "Sungwoo Jeong-a has come!" While Park Bogum is usually informal with his guests, the presence of his acquaintance Sungwoo Jeong-a made him smile even more brightly. Sungwoo Jeong-a introduced herself briefly, saying, "I am Sungwoo Jeong-a, who makes music."
Park Bogum asked, "It's already the 19th episode. How have you been?" Sungwoo Jeong-a said, "I've been working hard on my album." Park Bogum replied, "I really wanted to see Sungwoo Jeong-a. I wanted to experience your music and meet you in person," making Sungwoo Jeong-a smile brightly. Park Bogum, in a white tone outfit that exuded purity with a cute baby perm, had a charisma that captivated everyone, both participants and the audience.
Park Bogum said, "Today's music theme is 'Time Machine'. It's a fitting first song. Could you please explain the song?" He requested an explanation about "Bae-Bird." Sungwoo Jeong-a replied, "It's my second regular album released in 2013, and it captures my true self while engaging in serious music activities."
Sungwoo Jeong-a has released a total of 136 songs. Park Bogum asked, "I hear you've released an astonishing 136 songs so far. Do you have a favorite?"
Sungwoo Jeong-a said, "If I had to choose one, it would be the song 'Let's Run Away', which received the most love and was released in 2019." Park Bogum recalled, "I listened to that song while attending graduate school. They said you have to listen to that song when writing a thesis. What was your mindset while creating this song?"
Sungwoo Jeong-a explained, "A long time ago, I ran away after quarreling with my spouse shortly after we got married. It was nice. Running away helped me clear my mind, and we communicated better, it was good. Living like that, there came a season when my spouse was having a hard time. This song was started to comfort that person. It's a song written with the feeling, 'I found it nice to run away, let's go together.'", touching many people's hearts.
