Jung Seok-won takes the stage for his wife Baek Ji-young.
On the 8th, the YouTube channel Baek Ji-young uploaded a video titled 16 years later stealing Ok Taecyeon's spot and performing "My Ear Candy" with Baek Ji-young (concert ticket event available).
In the video, Baek Ji-young said, "Today my husband will perform 'My Ear Candy' at my Seoul concert. It's the day he's going to record it."
Jung Seok-won, full of worry since morning. Baek Ji-young explained the reason, saying, "I've been asking him to do 'My Ear Candy' for a long time. But he kept saying he couldn't do it. He said he couldn't do it every time at performances, but he couldn't be persuaded."
Overwhelmed by the pressure, Jung Seok-won said, "I can just say I won't do it. There are other people," but Baek Ji-young insisted, "No one can replace Jung Seok-won."
In the end, Jung Seok-won cried out in despair from the pressure. Baek Ji-young encouraged him, saying, "I thought it would be so much fun and good if I performed with you." But Jung Seok-won shot back, "I never even imagined it once."
Then Baek Ji-young expressed affection, saying, "But when we practiced it felt so good. In our choreography there's a part in 'Too Sweet' where you stare into the eyes. When you stare like that it makes your heart flutter a bit."
Meanwhile, when asked what changed his mind, Jung Seok-won said, "My wife once jokingly asked, 'Do you want to do something like My Ear Candy?' But I said it was out of the question. I can't dance or sing in front of 5,000 people, so I could only take it as a joke that she was trying to put me up there."
He continued, "But my wife's company CEO wouldn't make such a request. I owe the CEO a lot. I always have that burden on my heart, and she said she asked twice. This is a chance for me to repay a debt, so I agreed. Like a man. But as days go by, the manly feeling gradually disappears," he confessed, drawing laughter.
When Baek Ji-young even asked him to do the recording, Jung Seok-won lamented, "It might be better to go to the military... isn't it?"
