Singer Song Chang-sik reveals his turbulent family history of moving between relatives' homes after parting ways with his parents at a young age.

On the Oct. 5 broadcast of MBN's "Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night" Episode 41, Song Chang-sik appears alongside Jung Mi-jo, who will join him for a joint concert on Oct. 16, openly sharing his impoverished childhood hidden behind a glamorous reputation and the moments he overcame crises as a singer.

During the broadcast, when family topics arose, Song Chang-sik began by stating, "There is no close bond among family members," surprising everyone. His father, who worked as a police officer, passed away while serving in the military during the Korean War when Song was still young, and his mother left home around the time Song entered elementary school. Song confessed, "Without parents, I lived alternately at my grandfather's and uncle's homes," adding, "Always living as a guest, it wasn't a life where family members nurtured tender affection for one another," leaving the studio in solemn silence.

Due to parting from his parents at such a young age, Song Chang-sik admits he knows little about the painful and sorrowful feelings toward family. He frankly reveals, "Even now, I don't know how people love each other or show affection." He further shares, "My heart isn't cold, but my actions are somewhat distant," exposing his difficulty in opening up easily due to childhood wounds, moving all participants to tears.

Jung Mi-jo explains her unconventional decision to choose studying abroad in Paris over marriage at age 29, when she was at the peak of her popularity. Although her father was reluctant about her leaving for another country to study again during her prime marriageable years, Jung Mi-jo managed to fund her studies with money earned from her singing career and went to Paris alone.

After stepping down from her position as a popular singer and returning as an art student, Jung Mi-jo became captivated by Paris's beautiful nightscapes, painting nighttime scenes while immersing herself in original work that expressed not just visible reality but also the unseen inner world of the soul. Notably, Jung Mi-jo's talent and efforts were recognized locally when she won first place at "Le Salon" held at the Grand Palais in Paris in 1983, selected by the French fashion magazine "ELLE." The studio audience applauds Jung Mi-jo's valuable achievement in transforming from a popular South Korean singer into an art student.
