It's been 14 years since my debut, and I'm worried about Soyou (Dad and I) on the verge of stopping the concert with zero audiences



The name of 'Bye Bye-ya', who has the record of the first direct family trot singer in Korea, joins 'Dad and Me' with his daughter Soyoumi, an idol-turned-trot singer.

TV CHOSUN 'Dad and Me', which will be broadcast at 10 p.m. on the 20th, will feature the main character of the national favorite song 'Bye Byeya' and 38-year-old trot singer So Young-mi and her daughter Soyou. Soyoumi, who debuted as an idol, re-debutted as a trot singer in 2015 and succeeded her father as a trot singer in her 10th year. But Soyoumi says "My dad is greedy for work and has a high standard for dreams, so even if I work hard, it's not 'hard' in my dad's standard. He complained about his father, saying, "He doesn't sympathize because he doesn't understand."

In particular, Soyoumi was always followed by a modifier 'calling daughter' rather than her name. Even in the concert hall and wherever I went, my father's story came out first. Soyoumi was proud as the daughter of her calling, but at the same time, she felt burdened. In the end, Soyoumi said, `I want to challenge myself as a person who can be a father without help", and decided to hold his first concert in Japan, which was not even in Korea. Soyumi, who arrived in Japan alone, said "I wanted to do it myself because it was a performance I did alone", and went out to promote it himself. However, passers-by turned a blind eye to Soyoumi and humiliated her on the street. Still, Soyoumi showed a confident appearance, saying, `There is no time to be hurt because it is a performance after a few hours.'

However, the audience was empty until 30 minutes before the performance. The venue staff once had zero audience. If there is no audience, the performance should be closed." Soyou-mi's anxiety increased. Soyoumi says "Can you be this quiet? It's so quiet...He said, "He warmed up his voice and practiced until the end to hide his anxiety. Jeon Hyun-moo, who watched the VCR, said "What should I do. I can't watch it", he lamented, and the vocation seemed to be nervous.

Soyoumi, who took the first step to escape the shadow of her father's calling, could have held her first concert in Japan, and the results can be found on TV CHOSUN 'Dad and Me', which airs at 10 p.m. on Tuesday, the 20th.
