Singer Jung Mi-jo reveals her unique connection, having appeared on Andre Kim's fashion show stage three times, and sheds light on the bizarre scandal surrounding the two.

In the 41st episode of MBN's issue-maker talk show "Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night," airing on the 5th, Jung Mi-jo recalls being known as the "tallest female singer" thanks to her rare 170cm height for a woman in the 1970s. She displays the pride befitting the original tall female singer and enlivens the atmosphere at the scene.

Since her debut, Jung Mi-jo attracted special attention for her tall stature and clear facial features. She also reveals the special story of wearing outfits designed by Andre Kim, the era's top fashion designer, even during her rookie days. After meeting Mr. Andre Kim while walking through a broadcasting station hallway, she asked, "May I wear your clothes?" This led to a visit to his shop, marking the beginning of their long relationship. Jung Mi-jo, who always wore Andre Kim's glamorous outfits on stage, explains that she appeared as a model in Andre Kim's fashion show three times, projecting her presence beyond the realm of a singer with her tall figure, Western features, and elegant aura.

Jung Mi-jo also reveals an anecdote about strongly protesting against absurd scandal articles stemming from her special relationship with Andre Kim. After seeing a scandal article about herself and Andre Kim published in a women's magazine, she went directly to the media outlet and angrily asked, "How could you write that such a relationship exists between me and my teacher?" Ultimately, she received an apology for the fabricated scandal without any basis. Kim Ju-ha expresses strong agreement, saying, "In the entertainment industry, smoke comes from chimneys even when there's no fire."

Song Chang-sik, who had a gentle voice during his time as part of "Twin Folio" in 1968, surprises everyone by citing "vocal cord nodules" as the reason for his shift to a rough and original vocal style. While expanding his musical world after debut, he felt that his existing vocal technique could not express rock music. Later, he formed a rock band with friends and screamed while singing for four months, which eventually 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 he could hardly sing due to the nodules, he resolved to sing no matter what and retrained his vocal technique from scratch, ultimately achieving his distinctive voice today.

Jung Mi-jo 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 she had kept in a trunk for a long time. Deciding that it was better to donate the costumes rather than keep them alone, even though decades had passed and they were preserved like new clothes, she donated approximately 20 stage outfits designed by Andre Kim to her alma mater, warming the scene with this heartfelt gesture.
