‘Trot Queen’ Song Ga-in took over the radio with her shining live skills and wit.

Song Ga-in appeared on KBS Happy FM‘s ‘Eun Ga-eun’s Shining Trot (hereafter Shining Trot)’, which aired at 2 PM on the 25th, to congratulate the program on its 1st anniversary.

Song Ga-in delivered flowers prepared by the fandom ‘Again’ to DJ Eun Ga-eun along with warm words of encouragement, saying, “Don‘t make mistakes, don’t cause accidents, and work hard, and it will become a long-running program. Here, Eun Ga-eun added warmth by expressing her gratitude, saying, “Whenever I go to an event (with Song Ga-in), the Again members are always the ones who cheer the loudest. Thank you.”

Song Ga-in, who revealed the behind-the-scenes story of the production of her fourth regular album, ‘Gain‘s Moon’, released on February 11th of last month, said, “There were over 200 candidate songs, and I listened to 40 to 50 of them each time I listened to them,” and “I personally selected all 9 songs, and I chose the ones that gave me a good first impression,” showing off her ‘national treasure-level ears’ for finding great songs.

In particular, regarding the track ‘Farewell Song’, she said, “As soon as I heard the song, I thought, ’I absolutely have to do this song,‘ so I asked composer Yoon Myung-sun to give it to me right away,” and “The composer said that he made the song thinking of me,” revealing a fateful behind-the-scenes story. During the recording process, even though she interpreted the melody in her own style, composer Yoon Myung-sun showed his full trust by saying, “Then I will change the score.”

On this day, Song Ga-in performed the title song ‘Asadal’ live, leaving a deep impression with her signature sorrowful voice and delicate emotional expression. She then sang the included song ‘Passing’, adding to her lively stage manners and energizing the listeners.

Meanwhile, Song Ga-in, who has been writing a new history in the trot world with the highest initial sales for a female trot singer after the release of her 4th regular album ‘Ga-in;Moon’, and all of the songs on the album entered the charts immediately after its release, will hold the ‘2025 Song Ga-in Fan Meeting “Lifelong” - The Chaorda’ on April 19th at 6 PM at KBS Arena in Gangseo-gu, Seoul.
