"original all-rounder" Im Chang Jung captivated the radio with his mature wit and live performance.
Im Chang Jung appeared on MBC FM4U 'Noon's wish song Kim Shin Young' (hereinafter 'Noon's wish song'), which aired at noon on the 10th, and candidly shared the present of a 30-year artist encompassing music, stage and acting, engaging in deep communication with listeners.
On the day, Im Chang Jung warmly greeted listeners, saying, "I visited 'Noon's wish song' for the first time in about four years," and then shared updates on overseas concerts recently concluded in the United States and Australia. He recalled his performance at the Sydney Opera House in Australia, saying, "Whenever I went to Australia I always just took photos in front of the Sydney Opera House, so I couldn't believe I actually performed inside it," and added, "That I stood on a stage where only really famous people stand remains an unforgettable emotion in my lifetime."
He also candidly revealed the behind-the-scenes story of participating in a music show stage for the first time in about three years. Im Chang Jung joked, "It had been so long that when I sang early in the morning my high notes didn't come through well," drawing laughter. Nonetheless, during the unaccompanied demonstration live he still impressed with powerful, sustained high notes, and DJ Kim Shin Young, hearing it, admired, "It's only hard for Im Chang Jung who is singing it; we wouldn't know."
Im Chang Jung said, "They called it a self-deprecating ballad series from 'I'm such a guy' to 'fool,' 'idiot,' 'crazy guy,'" and added, "I even considered releasing music titled 'I'm such a guy a fool an idiot a crazy guy,'" provoking laughter. He continued, "I also considered the title 'Nom Nom Nom,' but after singing the song I ultimately had to use the title 'Crazy Guy,'" and revealed, "I recorded it only twice," adding to the surprise.
Also, when Kim Shin Young asked, "What have you been crazy about recently?", Im Chang Jung replied, "I'm not the type to be crazy about just one thing. I'm crazy about trying many different things out of curiosity," and said, "There are many things I want to try. This year and next year I want to make a movie, and I want to appear in an MBC drama," revealing the ambitions of the original all-rounder.
That day Im Chang Jung left a deep impression by performing the national favorite and signature hit 'Love again' live. He once again proved the resonance of the masterpiece with emotions deepened by the passage of time and a richer vocal, and the new song 'Crazy Guy' has also confirmed the strength of 'Im Chang Jung-style ballads' with unwavering emotion and distinctive vocals, recording No. 1 on major music charts after its release.<
