Wavve's '30 minutes with a favorite' grants trot singer Yang Jieun as the 11th guest, meeting a superfan who is a musical actress and forming a strong bond.
Yang Jieun conducts a 'coffee date' with a superfan on episode 11 of '30 minutes with a favorite,' which will be exclusively prereleased on Wavve at 5 p.m. on the 21st. The superfan, a former musical actress, says upon meeting Yang Jieun, "I feel an incredible inner closeness," and reveals, "I also married my current husband four months after meeting him (like Yang Jieun)." With the shared point that both are 'moms' raising two children of similar ages and the fact that their husbands are the same age, the two quickly form a bond, saying in unison, "It's hard to juggle work and parenting."
In particular, the superfan confesses, "While I was taking a break from musical activities to raise my children, I watched Yang Jieun's stage on TV and grew a dream of becoming a trot singer." In response, Yang Jieun offers practical advice, saying, "It's not common to switch from another genre to trot. The more you learn, the more difficult the genre becomes." When the superfan expresses concern that "it's difficult to bring out the 'flavor' of trot," Yang Jieun gives on-the-spot vocal training and generously shares her own singing know-how, and offers heartfelt encouragement, saying, "With your current skill, I think you could achieve good results in competitions," giving the superfan courage.
When the superfan asks, "How were you able to continue your singing career while raising children?", Yang Jieun honestly replies, "I entered the path of a singer when my children were very young, so it felt like I was just going back and forth between the workplace and home," adding, "So it's regrettable that I don't have many close fellow singers." She also shares her parenting experience, saying, "While it's important to play with both children together, taking them out separately and doing 'only-child play' with each child helps their emotional development a lot," which deepens the empathy. Interest is focused on the sincere conversation between the two mothers who shared heartfelt feelings.
Along with this, Yang Jieun passionately sings the superfan's requested song 'Mangmo,' stirring emotions and bringing the superfan to tears. The two then perform their favorite song 'Do not cross that river' as an impromptu duet, creating a surprise 'black-and-white singers' showdown, and MC Shin Gyu-jin exclaims, "Wow, they tore it up!" in admiration of the spectacular stage created by the two skilled performers.
The ear-pleasing meeting between Yang Jieun and the superfan will be revealed in episode 11 of '30 minutes with a favorite,' which will be exclusively prereleased on Wavve at 5 p.m. on the 21st.
