Singer Im Chang Jung, often referred to as Korea’s OG all-round entertainer, shared his thoughts on his 31st debut anniversary, his image as an entertainer, and also on wanting to collaborate with BTS!
To celebrate his 31st anniversary since debut, Im Chang Jung, who currently holds the title of top singer, actor, catering industry CEO, senior in the K-entertainment field, father to five sons, and popular YouTuber, sat down for an interview and answered questions about himself!
One of the questions he was asked was,
What kind of energy do you want to convey to the public as a celebrity?
Im Chang Jung revealed that the only way he’s lived all these years is by being true to himself!
I’ve never given nor received any message to the public in my entire life. I just lived the way my heart told me to. There are people that look at me negatively, and some who look at me in a positive light.
It’s hard to be loved by everyone. If even just one person sees me and thinks I’m a good person, wouldn’t that mean I’ve lived a good life?

As a multi-entertainer that excels in all fields, he was also asked to reveal which “Im Chang Jung” shines the most according to him, and he was also asked to share the factors that contributed to his great success!
It’s hard to choose just one. I’m focusing on training and caring for junior artists these days. It’s the field I am most confident in these days. The process of making and recording songs for junior groups is really fun.
I was just lucky. I don’t think my hard work and effort was everything. I’m lucky enough to do this interview like this now because of my luck. I never thought that I was someone that was great enough to hold an interview with either.
