"Sikgaek: Heo Yeong-man's baekban journey" singer Jang Yoon Jeong revealed an unbelievable schedule during her heyday and the laughable behind-the-scenes that resulted.
On the 15th, the TV Chosun "Sikgaek: Heo Yeong-man's baekban journey" that aired met the "national trot singer" Jang Yoon Jeong, who had her birthday on Lunar New Year in Ganghwa County, an island bordering the Korean Peninsula.
Jang Yoon Jeong recalled the time she re-debuted at 23 with "Eomeona." Originally a dance singer who switched to trot and achieved great success, she humbly noted, "I think it was divine luck."
But the murderous schedule that followed, leaving no time to enjoy that "divine luck," was harsh. Jang Yoon Jeong confessed about that time, "There was no time, so I had no time to celebrate at rest stops; I would collapse and when I went to the hospital it was malnutrition." It revealed the desperate past of the "national singer," who went on stage without properly taking care of her meals.
What was especially surprising was the distance Jang Yoon Jeong traveled. In response to Heo Yeong's remark that her car must have suffered from attending so many events, Jang Yoon Jeong said, "If you drive it for two years you scrap it. Then the car goes 'eh~.' The fuel cost was 250 million won a year," shocking everyone.
Jang Yoon Jeong went on, "Except for Dokdo and Ulleungdo, I think I've been everywhere. I even took boats to islands. If you colored a map, you'd have colored it all," recalling the footprints she left across Korea. She added a bittersweet anecdote about how roughly she drove: "When you return a rental car it was unusable, so I was on the blacklist."
