Tonight (6th) at 8 p.m., Channel A's Jeolchin Toocumentary – 4-person dining table episode 108 features popera tenor Im Hyung-joo, who performs on the world stage, appearing with close friends Jo Hye-ryeon and Hwang Kwanghee.
Im Hyung-joo invited close friends Jo Hye-ryeon and Hwang Kwanghee and served a "K-mom's" spread suitable for Chuseok, revealing his four-story house combining a home and a performance hall covering 450 pyeong. In particular, a special live stage was also presented in the first-floor performance hall.
That day Im Hyung-joo candidly confessed the process of debuting at the young age of 12 and achieving success. He said his parents opposed him becoming a singer, so at 16 he lied that he was traveling and went abroad to study alone. He surprised his close friends by recounting reversal hardships, including living in a garage without sunlight and auditioning in moldy jeans. Afterwards he continued a dazzling record, including holding the youngest solo recital for a male classical singer at Carnegie Hall in New York, being appointed the first Asian endowed professor at the Rome Academy of Fine Arts, and being the first popera singer appointed as a Grammy voter.
Im Hyung-joo's unexpected daily life was also revealed. Hwang Kwanghee, who has been friends for 14 years, said that Im Hyung-joo eats a whole whole cake by himself and still worries about dieting, and at convenience stores he self-promotes by saying "You know me, right?" while getting carrier discounts, continuing the cheerful revelations.
Im Hyung-joo then for the first time revealed an episode of Jo Hye-ryeon's "stage intrusion." During a performance Jo Hye-ryeon jumped onto the stage of the original song "Sexy music," the original of "Anakana," and sang together. The performance atmosphere heated up, but afterward, due to National Theater regulations, booking the venue became impossible for a while. Jo Hye-ryon apologized and made a surprise remark, saying, "Im Hyung-joo has an older-person preference, so I will introduce my younger sister born in '73," which turned the place into a sea of laughter.
In particular, Im Hyung-joo named the most unfair rumor as "the rumor that he underwent chemical castration to maintain a beautiful voice." When he confidently explained otherwise, Jo Hye-ryeon waved her hand and said, "Why do you talk about that so confidently," provoking uproarious laughter.
A time to look into a star's life with close friends, Channel A's Jeolchin Toocumentary – 4-person dining table episode 108 will be broadcast today (6th) at 8 p.m., 10 minutes earlier than usual due to Chuseok special programming.<
