'News9' singer Cho Yong-pil, who marked his 57th anniversary since debut as an active singer, candidly said the only secret to maintaining his timeless, luxury-level vocal power is rigorous and hard practice.
On the 5th, KBS 'News9' aired an episode featuring the king of singers Cho Yong-pil, who marked his 57th anniversary since his debut.
Cho Yong-pil, when told that despite his 57th debut anniversary he has never been labeled 'old-fashioned,' replied "I kept releasing songs without resting. Because I communicated." He emphasized that his steady effort to consistently present new music and engage with the public created the present-tense class of a 'king of singers' that transcends eras.
He also made clear that the secret to his consistent vocal ability is effort. He asserted, "It's practice. If you don't practice, you can never maintain it," and frankly admitted, "Even if you don't do it for just a month, it's already different. To restore it, you have to practice through several steps." This shows that his luxury voice is being maintained through thorough self-management.
Cho Yong-pil revealed a meaningful plan regarding his future musical activities. He hinted that the 20th album would be his last in full album format, saying, "It's the last as an album."
However, that does not mean a halt to activities, and he foreshadowed a new form of music release. He said, "If I release songs, about two songs. About two songs," suggesting he may present new songs to fans in single format in the future.
