"Korea's folk legend" Song Chang-sik cheerfully fires back at his close friend Cho Young Nam's "alien theory," showcasing his wit.
The 42nd episode of the MBN newsmaker talk show Kim Ju-ha's Day and Night, airing at 9:40 p.m. on the 12th, will feature Song Chang-sik and "French diva" Jeong Mi-jo continuing from last week, revealing an array of everyday life stories beyond imagination and behind-the-scenes details of their returns to the music industry.
That day, Song Chang-sik begins by calmly addressing the labels of "Kiin," "do-in," and "eccentric" that surround him, saying "I am neither Kiin nor strange," but surprised the set by revealing that he has repeated the exact same times and patterns for his daily routine — from morning reading to exercise to practice room meals — for a full 59 years.
In particular, Song Chang-sik personally introduces his unique exercise routine, which starts every day in a horse-riding stance and involves spinning in one direction. "I used to spin for two hours at a time," he said, and after demonstrating, he joked to the dizzy Kim Ju-ha and Zo Zazz, "If I add a little lie, this cures everything," drawing laughter. He even revealed that because of his goal to "complete 10,000 days," he gave up an overseas performance that crossed the international date line, increasing curiosity about the full story.
Also, Song Chang-sik directly responds to Cho Young Nam's claim of the "Song Chang-sik alien theory." To Cho Young Nam's assertion that "if he's an alien, everyday conversation is impossible," Song Chang-sik fired a striking retort, "I'm easy. But that person can't have a conversation with me," reportedly turning the recording studio into a sea of laughter.
Meanwhile, Jeong Mi-jo, who appeared with them, suddenly recounted the dramatic story of retiring, serving as a university art professor for 22 years, and then returning to the music scene after 37 years thanks to Choi Baek-ho. After meeting Choi Baek-ho at an exhibition, she appeared on his radio, and Choi Baek-ho's remark, "Your voice still sounds good; why don't you sing?" moved her deeply and solidified her decision to return.
