Singer Kim Jang-hoon shares his impressions after finishing a stage performance with his long-time friend Park Hak-gi.

On MBN's "Filling in the Blanks," airing on the 19th, Kim Jang-hoon appears as a guest to share lively banter and sincere musical stories rooted in his long friendship with MC Park Hak-gi.

That day, Kim Jang-hoon and Park Hak-gi take the stage side by side holding guitars and passionately sing "The Person Who Gives Happiness" together. After finishing the song, Kim Jang-hoon reveals his unique feelings, saying, "Right now, playing guitar and singing like this with a friend—both of us being at an age where we are still performing on stage in front of people while playing guitar—is the happiest moment I have experienced recently."

In response, Park Hak-gi says, "We have been telling each other for a long time to be 'Gagil-tteo.' It means 'live thin and long, and then take off when we see an opportunity,'" eliciting laughter. He continues, "It is because there are people who consistently support us and listen to our songs, whether it is Mr. Kim Jang-hoon or me, that we are sitting here today," conveying that fans have been the driving force behind their ability to continue making music for a long time.

Kim Jang-hoon also says, "It feels like a miracle. The gratitude felt in one's 30s is on a different level from the gratitude felt in one's 40s, 50s, and 60s as time passes," sharing his deepened sense of gratitude.

In particular, Kim Jang-hoon confesses, "I have had many experiences where I physically nearly lost my life, and many times when my life as a singer was on the verge of ending." He adds, "But being able to perform like this even in my mid-60s makes me feel so happy and grateful that I wonder if I am allowed to feel this way."

After a moment of weighty stories, Kim Jang-hoon jokes, "Starting next year, the subway is free. Plus, I get a pension, so there is nothing to worry about," turning the scene into a sea of laughter.

Kim Jang-hoon was born in 1962 and is 64 years old this year.
