• TV Chosun trot competition program 'Miss Trot 3' Beauty singer Oh Yu-jin interview with HanbokTV Chosun's one-on-one death match music show 'Golden Friday' is very active

Singer Oh Yu-jin, who is already in her sixth year of debut, showed off her special affection for trot.

Oh Yu-jin recently told a variety of stories about trot through a hanbok interview for the Lunar New Year at the Star News headquarters in Seorin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

Oh Yu-jin, who is in her sixth year of debut, impressed the public with her outstanding singing skills, voice, and unique cheerful energy even at a young age through KBS 2TV's "Trot National Sports Festival," which ended in 2021.

In November of the same year, he challenged an idol through the MBC audition program "After School Excitement," and in 2024, he won the final third place in the TV Chosun trot contest program "Miss Trot 3," proving his unrivaled skills and buzz.

Oh Yu-jin, who debuted at such a young age, has already made her debut six years ago. How do you feel when you see yourself in your younger days than now.

Oh Yu-jin said, "I'm embarrassed to think, 'Oh, what happened to me at that time?' but added, "I feel like I've grown up myself." Originally, I was just a child who liked to sing, but after going to the competition, many people liked it, so I remember thinking, 'Oh, why do they like me?' Most of all, I think it has changed a little brighter by appearing in 'Miss Trot 3'. I actually have a lot of energy," he confessed.

He continued, "People around me advise me to challenge myself in various ways. I try hard, but what I do best and what I like is trot. "I don't think I'll ever let go of the trot even if I go in a different direction later," he said, expressing his special affection for the trot.

Oh Yu-jin is currently attending Hallym Entertainment Arts High School in Seoul, studying and singing at the same time. When asked if he had any difficulties with attending school and managing his activities, Oh Yu-jin replied, "It's rather fun."

"There are some physically difficult days, but it's good to go to school, play with your friends, talk, eat, study, and so on. I'm an easy-going personality, so I'm getting along well with my friends," he said.

My new year's resolution is to release a new song. Oh Yu-jin said, "I want to release a new song that feels a little different than before. It's not trot but sophisticated. And I also want to show a lot of people something new visually," he said.

For Oh Yu-jin, 'Miss Trot 3' is a special memory. "I think I've changed to a more active personality by doing 'Miss Trot 3'," he said. "As I go to the event, I think I'm getting to know the codes that people like and I'm getting more and more know-how." During the "Trot National Sports Festival", I was too young and it was a program where the opposite sexes also appeared. But 'Miss Trot 3' was just a program with older sisters, so I think I was able to participate more actively. It was nice to be able to act cute to my sisters and tell my story," he recalled when he appeared on "Miss Trot 3."

Oh Yu-jin, who was 15 years younger at the time and was the final third place. What has changed the most in the two years since then.

Oh Yu-jin said, "Actually, I didn't expect anything at that time," adding, "The final stage was the hardest. My throat is not good due to stress, and I have rhinitis, and not only me but also everyone is in a bad condition was in the finals. In that condition, I cried when I chose "Grandmother." Thinking of my grandmother made me cry," he recalled of the final stage.

Regarding the relationship with Song Ga-in, who supported her at the time, saying, "I still keep in touch with my sisters and ask how they are doing," he said, "When I greet her every time I come and go to the broadcasting station, she says, 'Yujin is here.' My sister (Song Ga-in) said, "It's a problem if you're taller than me."

I'm also watching "Miss Trot 4," which is currently airing. When asked if she would like to appear on the competition program again, Oh Yu-jin said, "I think the current actors will have a hard time because of the burden," and immediately answered, "No."

Oh Yu-jin said, "If I do (a contest program), I will do it, but I can try it again at least once, but I don't want to do survival itself. I just want to work as hard as I do now," he explained.

Oh Yu-jin also appeared in "After School Excitement" to select a girl group member and drew attention. Oh Yu-jin, who gave her freshness in a 180-degree different appearance from before, confessed her exhausted mind and body after the competition.

Oh Yu-jin, who recalled the time of the appearance of "After-school Excitement," said, "I was not good at dancing, and (the cast) were busy surviving each other. There were some difficult parts, it was difficult to dance, and it was difficult to sing, so it was difficult in many ways. It was difficult at that time, but it remained a good experience afterwards. "Thanks to the dance I learned at that time, I was able to dance on 'Miss Trot 3'," he said.

Oh Yu-jin said about the current "Golden Friday" (hereinafter referred to as "Golden Friday"), "It was difficult in that regard because I had to invite legendary teachers to sing my life songs. "I'm worried about making a mistake when other teachers (of music) come, but I believe that many people will like it when I go on stage," he said.

He continued, "I don't have many regrets. If my performance is disappointing, I think I can do better next time. Before the stage, I reflect on myself and feel anxious, but when I go on stage, I think I forget everything."

Oh Yu-jin won by four points with Cheon Rok-dam (Lee Jung) on "Golden Gold," which aired on the 30th of last month, providing a thrilling pleasure. At that time, Oh Yu-jin won with 96 points, showing off her fresh performance and singing skills through Yoon Soo-il's "Honest Confession."

Oh Yu-jin said, "When Yoon Soo-il said he was coming, the 'apartment' was too famous, so he didn't make a joke. I was confident in the fast song, so I chose "The Lonely Confession," and it was a song I used to sing often. I thought I was going to be bitter with the karaoke machine, but thankfully, I won," he recalled of his confrontation with Cheonrokdam.

In "The Late Song Dae-gwan, Tae Jin-ah Special" of "Geumgeum," he sang Tae Jin-ah's "Samogok." Is there any pressure to reinterpret the great songs of senior artists.

In response, Oh Yu-jin said, "I heard that I had a feeling of Korean traditional music, so I melted that talent into 'Samogok,'" adding, "(Tae Jin-ah) takes great care of me when I meet him privately. But it seems like you're busy making fun of it. They also give a lot of advice. He also said, "If I don't do movements on stage, I have to sing with emotions on my fingertips."

He also expressed his desire for other genres and acting. Oh Yu-jin said, "If I have a chance, I want to try many challenges. I like romance and horror genres these days, but if I have a good chance, I want to try it. My role models are IU and Ko Yoon-jung, and I want to show you various sides like you two. In particular, I think I've seen all the works (starring Ko Yoon-jung) these days," he said, expressing his fan sentiment for IU and Ko Yoon-jung.

Finally, Oh Yu-jin said, "More than anything, I want to do a solo concert. I think it's meaningful as a singer. Fans always say, "Don't get sick." You say, "Health comes first," but I'm always grateful. I have a desire to meet my fans through a solo concert," he said.
