Singer Byun Jin-seop and track and field coach Hwang Young-jo confessed their sincere feelings about their families, which are closely linked to their arduous journeys to success.

On the fourth, MBN's 'Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night' featured Byun Jin-seop and Hwang Young-jo as guests.

Byun Jin-seop began by saying, "The best pacer in my life was my father," expressing his deep respect for him. However, he revealed that he experienced severe conflict because his father opposed his music career due to the expectation that he, who was better at academics among his siblings, should focus on studies. This led to a period of estrangement between them.

Byun Jin-seop shared his regret with emotion: "Since we became distant from my father, things felt uncomfortable. I never even called him 'dad.' Now that he has passed away, I regret not trying harder to show more affection." His words evoked a sense of sorrow.

Hwang Young-jo recalled his mother, a haenyeo (female diver) with such strong vitality that she went diving even while pregnant. "When the sea conditions were good, my mother would go to the ocean; when they weren't, she would head to the fields. I never saw her idle," Hwang said, explaining that he inherited his mother's genes and cannot be idle either. He further confessed his unique life philosophy: "For me, a day off is only a sick day." His relentless pursuit of activity resonated deeply with many.

Byun Jin-seop explained his new song 'Miss Kim Lilac,' released after reuniting with composer Ha Kwang-hoon, who worked alongside him during his prime, 22 years later. "Let's make another hit like 'To You Again' starting from this," he said, revealing that his passion for music remains as fiery as ever. "I have been active in the music industry for nearly 40 years, and my hope and goal is to continue meeting fans at concerts for the next 30 years," Byun added, conveying his unwavering love for both the stage and his fans.

Hwang Young-jo announced that he is currently attempting to run a full marathon course. "It's not a return to active competition, but I want to feel the same heart I had during my days as an athlete," he said, surprising everyone with his challenge to complete a full marathon. As Hwang expressed how moving it was to return to the place he knew and missed most, Byun Jin-seop offered enthusiastic support: "People are really looking forward to this. Hwang Young-jo is running a marathon again!" His words brought a heartwarming sense of inspiration.
