Singer Jin Sung revealed the heartwarming story of his life, overcoming a long period of obscurity to reach the top.

In an episode of MBN's 'Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night' broadcast on the 25th, Jin Sung appeared alongside senior singer Kang Jin, engaging in sincere conversations that captured the attention of viewers.

During the broadcast, Jin Sung openly shared the hardships he endured during his long years of obscurity. "As my time as an unknown artist stretched on, I performed at night venues repeatedly, which left me with a deep sense of emptiness inside," he confessed. "To cope with that feeling of hollowness, I often ended up drinking with people after work, repeating this cycle."

The turning point that changed Jin Sung's life was his medley album. "At the time, I lacked experience in recording songs and struggled to find my way, facing multiple failures," he explained. "Then, following a suggestion from Master Kim Byung-geol, I visited for a medley album recording session and ended up auditioning. Three months later, I received contact, and the released album immediately sold over one million copies, earning me the nickname 'One of the Four Great Kings of Medley.'"

Additionally, Jin Sung shared behind-the-scenes stories about his representative hit song 'At Andong Station,' as well as 'Don't Tackle Me,' which was born after he heard auditory hallucinations from his father and gained enlightenment. During the subsequent live performance of 'Don't Tackle Me,' he showcased his signature powerful vocals and commanding charisma that dominated the venue, once again proving why he is called the 'Grandfather of Trot.'
