Image
February 13, 2024 Singer Jeon Yujin won the final championship in MBN's King of Singers program, where active singers compete. She has proven that she is the best among Korea's active trot singers. Singer Jeon Yujin is in her fourth year of active duty and she is currently a second year high school student. She performed in the finals. As her second final contest song, she sang "An Old Poet's Song" (released in 1980) by the original singer Han Kyeong-ae (born in 1954). Singer Jeon Yujin showed off her amazing singing ability by singing beautifully, cleanly, and calmly, while elevating her song to three levels with her falsetto and true voice. How can there be such a beautiful tone? ​It is truly amazing that he won the competition, in which many of today's leading singers participated, and became the King of Singers after three months of intense competition. Now, we need to overcome the stereotypical perception of Korean Trot and raise the level of current Trot...

The song 'The Sound of the Hidden Crying Wind' was written by Kim Ji-pyeong, composed by Kim Wook, and released by Lee Jeong-ok in 1994. Although this song is not widely known, singer Jeon Yujin sang it as the final song in the MBN King of Singers contest program on February 6, 2024. She sang well with a natural voice. There is no doubt that it will make a huge comeback and become a famous song.  Photo : Yujin Guard

Evening Primrose

 Primrose" on the MBN King of Singers program. The flower language of evening primrose is “silent love,” “waiting,” “night fairy,” and “wish.” Most evening primrose flowers are yellow, but there are also pink and red flowers. It is a flower that blooms on moonlit nights, opening its petals in the evening and closing them in the morning. If you go to the countryside, you can easily see this flower. Her voice is good and she sings very well. As the singer who participated in this contest said, it is true that her song is “phenomenal!” “It’s really hard for singers to sing this song,” music composer and singers said. It seems unlikely that any singer will cover or remake this song in the future. Jeon Yujin, a high school student, is definitely a great singer. She appeared in a very neat outfit.

Girl and Streetlight

Singer-songwriter Jang Deok (born in 1961) created "Girl and Streetlight"(released in 1977). As of 2024, most people who remember singer Jang Deok are in their 60s. Unfortunately, Jang Deok passed away early (1990). Singer Jang Hyeon (born 1956) is Jang Deok's older brother, and he also passed away in 1990. The song “This Girl and the Streetlight” was created by her when she was 17 to participate in the 1st Seoul Song Festival in 1977. This song was sung by 20-year-old Jin Mi-ryeong (born 1958).  On January 16, 2023, singer Jeon Yu-jin sang this song amazingly on the MBN King of Singers program. Photo : Fancafe Yujin Guard

                                         Photo : Fancafe Yujin Guard Singer Jeon Yujin sang “Namiga”(released in 2021) by singer Seo Geo (born in 1971). Namiga means "Are we strangers?" that is Korean Gyeongsang-do dialect language. This song is of the dance trot genre. Singer Jeon Yujin showed off her singing skills without wavering even though she danced very vigorously. This is not a technique that just anyone, even if they are a singer, can do. No need to say anything. This is what being awesome means. The listeners were astonished. No competition, no comparison~ It's on a completely different another level. The bass, mid-range, and high treble are all perfect and enchanting. People often say that the song tore things up, but this one shook it up. Senior Japanese singer “Shigeru Matsushida” participated as a judge. After watching singer Jeon Yu-jin's Namiga, he said, “Jeon Yujin ...

On January 2, 2024, on MBN’s TV program called King of Active Singers,  Jeon Yujin sang the song “Beautiful Rivers and Mountains” explosively live.  Her singing is really awesome. She was  playing with the song. The volume and tone are crazy. Singer Jeon Yujin is in her second year of high school and  a 18 year old girl. I think this is when she is at her most lively and prettiest. Photo : Fancafe Yujin Guard

Yoke

Image
Singer Jeon Yujin sang Kim Soo-hee's famous song "Yoke" on MBN TV's Active Singer Program. She showed a more mature tone and singing-ability. Let's listen. This is a clean version with noise removed. Singer Kim Soo-hee was one of Korea's leading female singers from the 80s to the early 90s. Her husky yet heart-rending tone has an inimitable appeal. The song “Yoke” is a really difficult song to sing. So, there are only a few singers who remade this song or sang it as a cover song. The song progresses slowly, so there is a high possibility that it will be a song like reading book. Singer Jeon Yujin reinterpreted this difficult-to-sing song into her own song. In particular, in the second verse, “Those days were precious to me,” she sang the “Those days” part with one octave higher. That singing skill was singer Jeon Yujin’s unique point. Most of the contestants and audience were surprised. Photo : Fancafe Yujin Guard
