This is a review article written after watching the broadcast.
Nam Jin expressed remorse to his father who opposed his becoming a singer.
On the 21st, MBN's Kim Juha's Day & Night (hereafter Day & Night) featured Nam Jin and Jo Hang Jo.
That day Nam Jin said, "I failed doing an imitation of Choi Hee-jun. It was when I knew nothing. I was ruined as soon as I appeared."
Regarding his second album being banned, he said, "At that time I sang in my own style. The title was 'Yeonae 0 Beonji.' The reasons given for the ban included Japanese style, decadence and ideology. It was the second one that was flagged. The response had been really good," expressing regret.
Nam Jin said, "Of the three songs on the album at the time, the one I liked least was trot. The song I chose among them became my biggest hit and the song that made me known," and said that this led him to start performing trot.
Kim Juha brought up the topic of Nam Jin's father. Nam Jin recalled, "He didn't know at all that I was singing. He lay in bed for so long. He thought I was doing well at university in Seoul. He was watching the program at the hospital and there was an uproar."
He added, "He said, 'With nothing to do, are you going to play the flute? Quit school immediately and come back home to Mokpo. Work in a factory.' He passed away three months after that. He was shocked. He was startled."
Nam Jin added, "I was foolish then, so I said okay out of fear and kept singing. I loved singing so much, I had failed at first, and I became a singer, so I couldn't give up easily." Nam Jin also said, "He probably wanted me to inherit the family business, so he must have been very disappointed."
Nam Jin said his mother was a big help in his career as a singer, saying, "She taught for a long time. My mother paid for all the under-the-table expenses. It was when Korea had only one recording studio. It was 1964."
