Actor and singer Lee Jung-hyun revealed why she visited the Dongdaemun fabric market in person.
On the 9th, Lee Jung-hyun posted videos and photos on her social account. For Chuseok, she recreated "Wa," the song that marked the start of her career as a singer and captivated the entire nation, as a special stage on KBS2TV's Immortal Songs, creating a big buzz. For younger generations who didn't know Lee debuted as a child actress, she was a singer who put on experimental stages; for those who remember Lee's child-actor years for her harrowing acting, it delivered many shocks.
Lee Jung-hyun evoked a feeling that has not changed even after many decades. Wearing distinctly Korean hairpins and rounded bun hair, and appearing in long sleeves and a skirt or long jeogori reminiscent of ancient Three Kingdoms-era attire, Lee showcased her enduring live singing ability. She also attracted attention by collaborating with dancers who perform Korean dance for the day's stage.
Lee Jung-hyun said, "A special stage after 10 years, Dongdaemun fabric market stage sketch picture somehow," revealing her personal devotion to the stage. He humbly added, "I am truly grateful to Immortal Songs producer Choi Seung-beom, the stage director, the cinematographer, and all the staff for creating a stage more wonderful than my clumsy sketches."
Internet users responded enthusiastically with comments such as "Honestly, this is K-pop that would be a global hit even if released now," "No, her live singing hasn't rusted at all," and "I know she's good at cooking, parenting, and handiwork, but I miss Lee Jung-hyun acting and singing."
Meanwhile, Lee Jung-hyun married a doctor three years her junior in 2019 and has two daughters.
