On 'Day & Night,' singer Pyeon Seung-yeop revealed the earnings from his hit song "Chanchanchan."

The 25th episode of MBN's talk show 'Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night,' aired on the 16th, featured trot singer Pyeon Seung-yeop.

That day, Pyeon Seung-yeop explained about his hit song "Chanchanchan": "When I debuted, I naturally thought I should debut with trot music and was given a traditional trot song, but my song wasn't traditional trot. It didn't have the typical trot style. I felt 'this isn't right,' so I went to see composer Lee Ho-seop. He showed me only the melody without any lyrics, and I immediately felt connected to it. I thought, 'This is my song.' That's how 'Chanchanchan' was born."

He then added, "This song was originally prepared for my senior Ta Jin-ah, so in a way, I took it from him," revealing the hidden backstory.

Regarding the behind-the-scenes of "Chanchanchan's" success, Pyeon Seung-yeop said, "Even though my father owned a car, he used taxis or public transportation to randomly meet people and would say, 'This is my son's song. Please listen to it,' gifting them tapes. My aunt did the same. I only found out later. My mother, on the other hand, visited a temple every day for three years without missing a single day. It wasn't just the sincerity of one or two people; thanks to the heartfelt support of many, the song quickly became a hit within a year."

Jo Ddaej then asked, "I heard 'Chanchanchan' topped the charts for three years," to which Pyeon Seung-yeop recalled, "It was number one in the trot category. I don't know exactly how long it stayed there, but back then, it was truly remarkable."

Jo Ddaej also mentioned, "I heard 'Chanchanchan' earned tens of millions of won daily. If calculated today, it would be in the hundreds of millions." Pyeon Seung-yeop responded, "It was 25 to 30 million won per day. Compared to the appearance fees of popular singers today, it would far exceed 100 million won," surprising everyone.

Pyeon Seung-yeop shared, "Back then, it was easy to own real estate at low prices. But at that time, I kept asking myself, 'Why wait for it to rise?' I always expected to earn money. I didn't do anything wrong, but I spent a lot. I spent as much as I earned."
