Singer Han Young-ae revealed how she got her debut opportunity thanks to the late Jeon Yu-seong.

The episode of KBS 2TV's 'Immortal Songs' broadcast on the 7th was themed as a "Jeon Yu-seong Special Without Jeon Yu-seong," featuring colleagues who had special connections with the late comedian.

On that day, Han Young-ae recalled her memories of Jeon Yu-seong, who had reached out to help her in the early days of her singing career.

Han Young-ae said she had secured a few months' worth of performance opportunities at 'Prince Salon,' a venue once known as the mecca of acoustic guitar music. At the time, Jeon Yu-seong frequently visited the venue and watched Han Young-ae's performances.

One day, Jeon Yu-seong brought Han Young-ae a concert poster. He casually handed her the poster with his name on it, saying, "I put your name at the very bottom too."

Han Young-ae recalled Jeon Yu-seong's consideration in including her name as well. It was a moment that highlighted Jeon Yu-seong's characteristic 'tsundere' side, as he opened up stage opportunities for his junior without ever seeking credit.

Jeon Yu-seong's exceptional love for music was also re-examined. During his lifetime, he had planned an unusual concert called the "Dog or Not Dog Concert," which he enjoyed with his pet dog in Cheongdo, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province. Additionally, Jeon Yu-seong reportedly encouraged singers who are now known as 'legends,' such as Lee Moon-sae and Lee Gwang-jo, by telling them, "You will make it."

Following this, Han Young-ae took the stage to perform her representative songs, "Is Anyone There?" and "The River That Cannot Be Crossed."

In particular, "The River That Cannot Be Crossed" is known to have been a song Jeon Yu-seong especially loved during his lifetime. Han Young-ae said she was deeply moved to learn that Jeon Yu-seong had listened to this song repeatedly for an entire week.

It was a song that Jeon Yu-seong, who had opened up stage opportunities for her, had cherished and listened to for a long time. Filled with longing for the late comedian, Han Young-ae sang "Is Anyone There?" and "The River That Cannot Be Crossed," leaving behind a deeply moving performance.
