Today (1st) at 8:10 p.m., Channel A's "Close Friends Documentary – A Table for Four" will air an episode featuring singer Kim Chang-yeol, who swept the music scene in the 1990s.
Kim Chang-yeol will invite singers Park Sun-joo and Sung Dae-hyun to their favorite hideout where he spends time with his son, Joo-hwan, to showcase their hit song relay, asserting, "I will show what is truly Chang-yeol-like," and prepare a hearty "Chang-yeol-style feast" that is sure to catch attention.
This broadcast will reveal the connection between mentor and mentee, Kim Chang-yeol and Park Sun-joo. When Kim Chang-yeol expressed disappointment that Park Sun-joo's first student was not him but Kim Bum-soo, Park Sun-joo noted, "The first to teach and give songs was Kim Chang-yeol; Kim Bum-soo only taught singing," a statement that reassures Kim Chang-yeol's feelings.
The broadcast will also premiere the details surrounding an incident where Kim Chang-yeol stormed out of practice during the lesson for DJ DOC's first album "Superman's Sorrow" after a dispute with Park Sun-joo. Ultimately, it was concluded with Kim Chang-yeol calling Park Sun-joo to apologize with a playful voice.
Kim Chang-yeol's family history will also be disclosed. Reflecting on his past of being separated from his father, who worked in the Middle East from the 1st grade of elementary school to the 2nd grade of middle school, he shares his regret of not being able to send his father off as he was busy attending school to make him happy by receiving perfect attendance awards. MC Park Kyung-rim also shared her empathy, recalling her father who worked in Saudi Arabia, stating, "I wonder how lonely he must have been in a foreign country at a much younger age than I am now." Furthermore, Kim Chang-yeol reveals he was not ready as a father when his son Joo-hwan was born, admitting that he wanted to be a dad his son would not be ashamed of, despite facing multiple business failures that he could not give up on. He also shares his feelings as a father who started working in entertainment to earn diaper money, ultimately becoming teary-eyed.
Coincidentally, his son Kim Joo-hwan, who boasts a warm appearance like an actor, appeared and received cheers from his close friends. Park Sun-joo reportedly expressed her invitation saying, "I will give you a proposal since I'm in the entertainment business." Regarding his son, who was accepted by Yonsei University in 2023, Kim Chang-yeol remarked, "I did nothing," to which those around him responded that "that is the best thing he did," causing laughter in the scene.
Kim Chang-yeol also shared memories of drinking alcohol with his son for the first time at the beach, mentioning that the intoxicated son ran around the beach to amuse his friends, prompting close friends to burst into laughter, saying, "That's just like the old Chang-yeol; you can't hide your blood." Meanwhile, Kim Joo-hwan expressed his heartfelt desire for Kim Chang-yeol, saying, "I hope you won't try to carry everything on your own," adding a touching moment.
Meanwhile, another close friend of Kim Chang-yeol, singer Lim Chang-jung, made a surprise appearance as an unexpected guest, which even MC Park Kyung-rim was unaware of, shaking the scene with a medley of hit songs and new tracks. Lim Chang-jung shared a story of gratitude, recalling how Kim Chang-yeol and Sung Dae-hyun took care of him when he was a rookie singer, despite being top stars at that time. He also conveyed the deep friendship by reminiscing about the time he cried while discussing their parents with Kim Chang-yeol by the Han River.
