Trot singer Jang Yoon-jung will appear on TV CHOSUN's "Gourmet Heo Young-man's Baekban Journey," airing on the 15th. This episode is filmed in Ganghwa County, an island near the Korean Peninsula border, to celebrate the Lunar New Year, coinciding with Jang Yoon-jung's special birthday. Since her debut in 2003 with "Eomeona!," she has established herself as the undisputed queen of trot. She has continued performing nationwide, including a concert in North Korea in 2007.
On the show, Jang Yoon-jung revealed, "In one year alone, I traveled the equivalent of five and a half times around the Earth for events, spending 250 million won on fuel." This highlights her busy schedule and high demand for appearances. Known as the "Queen of Events," she keeps her promises to audiences despite such a hectic schedule, even having her tires punctured three times due to constant travel.
For 27 years, she has continuously released various hit songs such as "Eomeona," "Jjan Jjara," and "Olle." Jang Yoon-jung emphasized family as her driving force to perform in front of audiences. The support and encouragement from her husband, announcer Do Kyung-wan, greatly empower her activities, and their son Yeon-woo and daughter Ha-young are exceptionally talented, having attended the gifted camp at Johns Hopkins University in the United States. She also shared the love of her mother-in-law, who makes seaweed soup separately for her birthday when it coincides with Lunar New Year, expressing the importance of family.
Jang Yoon-jung is also actively supportive of her juniors. Since 2019, she has served as a judge for seven years on the "Miss Trot" and "Mr. Trot" series, discovering stars currently leading the trot scene such as Lim Young Woong and Song Ga-in. She said, "I want to be a senior who supports juniors so they can rise higher," and announced a new leap forward in nurturing juniors by establishing her own agency at the end of last year.
Debuting as a trot idol at the young age of 24, Jang Yoon-jung is now recognized as a legendary figure. She confessed, "The quality of a successful trot singer is attitude," revealing her sense of responsibility and pride as a senior.
This broadcast will reveal behind-the-scenes stories of Jang Yoon-jung's stage performances, along with sincere stories about her family and love for her juniors. "Gourmet Heo Young-man's Baekban Journey" will air on the 15th at 7:50 PM.
