Joo Hyun-mi reveals the behind-the-scenes story of her transition from pharmacist to singer.

At 8:10 p.m. today (17th), the singer Joo Hyun-mi's episode will be broadcast on Channel A 'Best Talk Documentary-4-Person Table'.

Joo Hyun-mi, the queen of trot, reveals her gratitude to Kim Bum-ryong by revealing that all three songs on the recently released 40th anniversary album were composed by Kim Bum-ryong. In response, Kim Bum-ryong captivated MC Park Kyung-rim by performing a surprise duet with guitar accompaniment on the spot, saying that the title song 'Yeonjeong' was coveted by Joo Hyun-mi as soon as she heard a verse.




On this day, Joo Hyun-mi will reveal the behind-the-scenes story of her transition from pharmacist to singer. Soon after graduating from college, she had to lead the family as the eldest daughter, but she opened a pharmacy under Namsan with her mother's money, but her business did not go well because she adhered to the principles, and at that time, she happened to be offered a recording of 'Double Party'. Songs that he sang to get out of the pharmacy for a while became a big hit, occupying the so-called 'gilboard', and he debuted as a full-fledged singer for his family's livelihood when he heard that he could receive 3 million won per stage when the monthly sales of the pharmacy were 1 million won. Joo Hyun-mi then recalls the time when she decorated the pharmacy only with empty bottles because she had no money, confessing that she still has nightmares about running a pharmacy.

The following year, when she made her splendid debut by sweeping the Rookie Award, secret love story of Joo Hyun-mi, which began with a 40-day U.S. tour, will be revealed for the first time in 39 years by Kim Bum-ryong, a secret love witness. Joo Hyun-mi revealed that she had a romantic feeling with her husband, who was a former band of Cho Yong-pil's "Great Birth", and all of her colleagues who performed noticed Joo Hyun-mi and her husband's fling and kept it a secret. When Joo Hyun-mi asks "Why didn't you come out?", Kim Bum-ryong confesses that he lied that he was sick when he was contacted by manager Cho Yong-pil not to go out. Joo Hyun-mi, who has known the truth for the first time in 39 years, is shocked and grateful for keeping the secret.

Meanwhile, Joo Hyun-mi confesses to a sudden seven-year hiatus in the mid-90s that "It was the flower of my life." At that time, he said that it was the happiest moment in his life to see his children run while living in Cheonggye, and that he will never forget that time. Afterwards, Joo Hyun-mi will also reveal the current status of her first son from Berkeley School of Music and her second daughter, who is active as an indie band 'Oabe'. On the other hand, Kim Bum-ryong said he couldn't spend much time with his children, and expressed regret over the moment when his children lived in the wild for about 10 years when they were young, saying, `The most regretful moment in life.'
