Singer Kim Jong-kook reveals extraordinary behind-the-scenes stories of the 1990s music industry that defy imagination.

In the the 7th broadcast of KBS 2TV's variety program "Problem Children in the Attic" (hereinafter "Ok-mun-a"), episode 313, three pioneers of the music industry—Yoon Sang, Lee Hyun-woo, and Kim Hyun-chul—will appear. Among them, Kim Jong-kook will share numerous anecdotes from his "Turbo" days in response to the appearance of these three direct seniors in the music industry.

On this day, Kim Hyun-chul stated, "At that time, all singers used a single waiting room for music shows," proudly highlighting the close bonds of the 1990s music industry regardless of genre or generation. In response, Kim Jong-kook conveyed the atmosphere of that era with vivid behind-the-scenes stories.

Kim Jong-kook revealed, "During live broadcast times, managers of artists competing for first place were searching for dinner party venues," adding, "It was a culture for the artist who ranked first to treat everyone to a after-party. All cast members attended."

He continued, "Hong Jin-kyung also used to attend these dinner parties," revealing an unexpected attendee, prompting Hong Jin-kyung to confess, "I was a radio DJ at the time and was close with many singers. That's why I often went to collect leftovers." Her confession turned the scene into a sea of laughter.

Meanwhile, on this day, Kim Jong-kook also revealed his inseparable bond with Lee Hyun-woo. Kim Jong-kook emotionally stated, "During our 'Turbo' days, whenever we were about to receive the 'Golden Cup' for ranking first on music shows for five consecutive weeks, Hyung-nim Lee would come back. Because of him, we missed out on two or three 'Golden Cups.'" Lee Hyun-woo, coincidentally, recalled his past as a "Turbo sniper."

"Problem Children in the Attic" airs every Thursday at 8:30 p.m.
