“I waited only for this day”…’Sunday’s Youngest Daughter’ Kim Shin-young, ‘National Singing Contest’ first broadcast with tears and big words

Broadcaster Shin-Young Kim took on the role of MC on KBS. <전국노래자랑>It aired for the first time on the 16th. This is the first broadcast after being selected as the successor of the late Song Hae, who had hosted this broadcast for 34 years.

The Hanam Psalm, which aired on this day, opened with a special stage by singer Yang Hee-eun. Kim Shin-young, who sang ‘To the Land of Happiness’ with her duet with Yang Hee-eun, brought tears to her eyes. After she finished singing, she said, “I’m not that squishy,” she said. She continued, “I am Shin-Young Kim, ‘Sunday’s youngest daughter,’ who will meet you all over the country in the future. I wish she would give me a lot of love nourishment,” she said. ‘Sunday’s youngest daughter’ is an expression borrowed from Song Hae’s nickname, ‘Sunday Man’. Kim Shin-young said, “I have only waited for this day,” and she exclaimed the program’s trademark “National ~ Song Proud ~” along with the audience. She gave a big bow to the audience before the participants went on stage in earnest.

Shinyoung Kim danced to the songs of the participants. She even gave high fives with the audience downstage. She looked a little nervous, but with her trembling she felt a sense of determination. The grand prize on this day went to a 25-year-old university student named Jin Ye-Dam, who said, “I came out to earn my tuition.” The three siblings who took to the stage to celebrate their mother’s 80th birthday, the oriental doctor who sang “Tobacco Shop Lady” in Michael Jackson-concept clothes, and a Korean dancer who sang the trot while beating the drums, received awards.

A number of celebrities including Yang Hee-eun, broadcaster Song Eun-i, actress Lee Gye-in, singer Park Seo-jin, Nabi, Ailee, Park Hyun-bin, and the group Brave Girls appeared and supported Kim Shin-young’s first broadcast. Yang Hee-eun said, “Take care of (Kim Shin-young) as a young sprout,” she said.

Kim Shin-young received so many gifts that she said, “It’s like my birthday.” Song Eun-i hung her candy necklace to Kim Shin-young, who will be traveling across the country in the future, saying, “Don’t fall for it.” Lee Gye-in brought an egg he raised himself and said, “Don’t give this place to anyone, and live until you’re 100.” Lee Gye-in, who sang Jinseong’s ‘Barley Hill’, was the only one who received ‘Ding’ from the judges on this day’s broadcast, not ‘Ding-Dong-Dang’. Akdong Musician’s Chanhyuk Lee sat in the audience and watched the performance.
