Singer Lee Jung confessed the past when he decided to retire.He started singing again under the name of trot singer ‘Cheon Rok Dam’ and now says, “I feel like I’m wearing my own clothes.”

On KBS 2TV entertainment show ‘The Boss’s Ears Are Donkey Ears ‘aired on the 1st, Lee Jung-eun said, “Actually, I retired in my heart 8 years ago,” and “I was in so much pain, and I was swindled out of all my money.So I gave up and went down to Jeju Island.” He was diagnosed with stage 1 kidney cancer in 2023 and underwent surgery.
Lee Jung-eun said that rather than saying she has “converted to trot,” it would be more accurate to say, “I feel like I’m finally wearing my own clothes.” He said, “Before, every stage was burdensome and uncomfortable.Since music is difficult, there was a lot of pressure to ‘do well’, “ and “Now, I really enjoy singing itself and I’m happy.”

Lee Jung, who appeared on ‘Mr.Trot 3’ under the stage name ‘Cheon Rok Dam’, confessed, “My wife’s support was the biggest.” He also sent a video letter saying, “We’re newlyweds but we live apart.We’re almost like a month-end couple.” “Honey.Haven’t you seen me? I don’t have much time left.I just need to do one and a half more years.Until then, please be patient and wait a little longer.I’ll treat you better.I love you.”

Lee Jung-eun registered her marriage with a non-celebrity in 2018, and held the wedding ceremony in 2022.The following year, she was diagnosed with kidney cancer, and completed treatment with surgery without chemotherapy.
After many hardships, Lee Jung-eun returned to the stage and is now active under the name ‘Cheonrokdam’.To him, singing is a cheering song for a life that has begun again.
