Kim Jong Kook Exposes The Past Culture For Music Show Winners
On the upcoming episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child In House, airing on the 7th, Yoon Sang, Lee Hyun Woo, and Kim Hyun Chul—veteran “ear-pleasing boyfriends” of the music scene—will captivate listeners with nostalgic talks about the 1990s music scene.
On the day, Kim Hyun Chul shares, “Back then, all singers used the same waiting room during music shows,” proudly highlighting the close-knit nature of the 1990s music industry, regardless of genre or generation. Kim Jong Kook then brings that atmosphere to life with vivid behind-the-scenes stories. He recalls, “At live broadcasts, managers of the candidates for first place were already arranging after-party venues,” adding, “It was a tradition that the winning artist treated at the after-party, and all the performers attended,” impressively emphasizing the unique solidarity that existed. He also reveals an unexpected attendee, saying, “Jin Kyung used to come to those gatherings too,” which surprises the audience. In response, Hong Jin Kyung admits, “I was a radio DJ at the time, so I was close with the singers and often went along to pick up a little leftover fun,” sparking laughter all around.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong Kook also opens up about an inseparable bond with Lee Hyun Woo. He shares, “Whenever it was time for Turbo to receive the ‘Golden Cup’ for five consecutive weeks at music shows, Lee Hyun Woo hyung would just make his comeback. Because of him, I missed out on two or three Golden Cups,” expressing his frustration, while Lee Hyun Woo reflects on his past role as a “Turbo rival.”
With a flood of exciting behind-the-scenes stories from the 1990s music world, anticipation is rising for the full episode of Problem Child In House.
