Singer Jung Mi-jo reveals the full story of an absurd scandal involving Andre Kim.

In the 41st episode of MBN's issue-maker talk show "Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night," airing on the 5th, Jung Mi-jo reflects on her early career when she was known as the "tallest female singer" thanks to her rare height of 170 cm for a woman in the 1970s, proudly embracing her status as the original tall female vocalist.

Since her debut, Jung Mi-jo attracted special attention for her tall stature and clear facial features. She shares a unique anecdote about wearing outfits designed by Andre Kim, one of the era's top fashion designers, even during her rookie days.

As a newcomer, she once met Andre Kim while walking through a broadcasting station hallway. When she asked, "May I wear your clothes?" and subsequently visited his shop, their long-lasting relationship began. Jung Mi-jo explains that she appeared in Andre Kim's fashion shows as a model three times, using her tall frame, Western features, and elegant presence to transcend the realm of singing and make a powerful impression.

Jung Mi-jo also reveals an incident where she strongly protested against an absurd scandal involving Andre Kim. After reading about the fabricated story in a women's magazine, she confronted the publication directly, angrily asking, "How could you write that there is such a relationship between me and my teacher?" She eventually received an apology for the baseless rumor. Kim Ju-ha expressed strong agreement, saying, "In the entertainment industry, smoke often comes from chimneys where no fire exists."

Jung Mi-jo also shares the story behind the special exhibition "Ewha, 1970, Jung Mi-jo" held at Ewha Womans University Museum in 2023, exactly 51 years after her graduation. After returning from studying in France and working as an art professor and painter, she rediscovered Andre Kim's stage costumes that had been stored in a trunk for decades. Deciding it was better to donate them rather than keep them alone, she donated approximately 20 stage outfits designed by Andre Kim to her alma mater, creating a heartwarming moment.

Meanwhile, Song Chang-sik, who performed under the name "Twin Portfolio" in 1968 with a soft voice, reveals that his vocal style changed due to his rough and unique tone, attributing the shift to "vocal cord nodules," surprising everyone. While expanding his musical world after debut, he felt that his original singing style could not express rock music effectively. He then formed a rock band with friends and shouted while singing for four months straight, which ultimately led to the development of vocal cord nodules.

Recalling how "his voice became rough but he couldn't sing properly," Song Chang-sik explains that although he faced a crisis where singing seemed impossible due to vocal cord nodules, he resolved to continue singing no matter what and retrained his vocal technique from scratch. As a result, he developed the distinctive voice he is known for today. The episode airs on the 5th at 9:40 p.m.
