Singer and actor Lim Chang-jung revealed the secret story of her success in turning her life around thanks to Lee Byung-hun.
Lim Chang-jung, the original all-around entertainer, went on a gourmet trip to Chungmuro, Seoul, as a guest on the TV Chosun entertainment show "Foodman Heo Young-man's Baekban Travel," which aired on the 22nd.
On this day, Lim Chang-jung confessed that she suffered from hardships in life because she had no schedule after debuting with the 1990 film "The Southern Army." He said, "After the 'Southern Army', things haven't come in. At that time, there was nowhere to go, so I delivered gas and put up flyers. I went to Lee Byung-hun because I had no place to go anymore," he recalled.

Lim Chang-jung said, "One day, I got a call from Byung-hun and answered it, and former producer Um Ki-baek told me to go to a practice room. When I went to the practice room, the musical director asked me to sing, so I sang Kim Jongseo's song. He suddenly gave me the script on the spot and started practicing tomorrow," he said, drawing attention by revealing the story of his casting as a musical actor.
At that time, he was noticed by a record producer who visited a musical performance and made his debut as a singer in 1995. He said, "I debuted as a singer and there was no response. One day, a song that I used to listen to a lot came out in Daehak-ro. It was "Already to Me" from the first album. A week later, I entered the top 10 of the roadboard chart," surprising everyone by saying that he succeeded in climbing back and achieved sixth place in music broadcasting.
