I hope you all do well for the next 3 years”, greeting her friends in advance.

Oh Yu-jin, who celebrated her birthday the day before, said, “I originally planned to meet my friends, but I spent the day yesterday in Seoul for today’s radio show. Instead, I had a birthday party with fans on the 11th and a fan meeting, and I was thankful that they gave me a gift, so I unboxed it as soon as my birthday came around yesterday,” she said, expressing her gratitude.

Oh Yu-jin performed ‘You’re Pretty’, which has become her signature song through ‘Miss Trot 3’. She led the song with her powerful voice, and showed off her uniquely lively and lovable charm with her solid live skills and stage manner.

Oh Yu-jin expressed her passion, saying, “In addition to singing, I also want to try acting. I’ve been learning for about a week, but I feel like the path of a singer is more certain so far, so I’m just being greedy. I have a dream of appearing in a fresh and emotional romance drama like a youth drama.”

She also mentioned a legendary video that received a lot of love. First, regarding the stage of ‘Today is Young’ that achieved 17 million views, she said, “I was an elementary school student when I appeared on the ‘National Trot Competition’. I think many people loved it because a young child sang this song confidently.”Regarding ‘Moran’ that made many people cry on ‘Miss Trot 3’, she said, “It was the first time I performed a song that felt like Jeon Sang-seo on TV, so I was also very nervous on that stage. When I came back after finishing the stage, I remember my grandmother comforting me, saying, ”You would have done well.”Reporter Jeong Hee-yeon, Donga.com shine2562@donga.com
