Singer Jang Jae-in shared her thoughts on her own singing style, which divides public opinion.

On the 18th, a video titled "The Reason Jang Jae-in Sang in Front of Yoon Jong-shin for the First Time in 16 Years After 'Superstar K'" was uploaded to Jang Jae-in's YouTube channel.

Jang Jae-in said, "I'm trying to find the roots of singer-songwriters. If you ask about my roots, isn't it 'Superstar K'?" She added that she met Yoon Jong-shin so they could discuss this topic.

Regarding Yoon Jong-shin, she explained, "He is a singer-songwriter I truly admire. Beyond his music, I like him as a person." She continued, "He told me I have great talent for lyric writing, and my first time writing lyrics for someone else was on 'Monthly Yoon Jong-shin.' I participated the most in that show," she added.

Yoon Jong-shin recalled their first meeting. He said, "(Jang) Jae-in had a truly wild feel. She was raw, brimming with potential. When she screamed, there was something sharp about it, and I liked that."

Hearing this, Jang Jae-in remarked, "My singing style is absolutely not popular among the masses today. It's not a style suited for commercial success." In response, Yoon Jong-shin stated, "But because it's not mainstream, I think it resonated with the public."

Jang Jae-in admitted that her singing style still divides opinions. She said, "It seems to have been like this for 10 years. People still say things like 'your vocal technique is off' or 'you shouldn't sing with a voice like that.' Every time I see such reactions, I feel down, so I avoid looking at them."

In response, Yoon Jong-shin advised, "Our industry has always been divided by personal preference. Influence depends on how many people support you. If 2,000 people like you, then live with those 2,000. You've stopped listening to others and entered your own lane—why would you start listening to them now? If you wanted to listen to others, you should have gotten a job and started earning a salary."

Jang Jae-in said, "I know my singing style divides opinions, but I was born this way. My voice is simply like this."

Additionally, Jang Jae-in shared her thoughts on dating and marriage. She said, "Jun Park once told me, 'You'd look great living your whole life just dating.' Actually, I enjoy dating, but I want to get married only when a truly trustworthy person appears. Recently, people around me have started asking, 'Why aren't you getting married?'"

Afterward, Yoon Jong-shin listened to Jang Jae-in's singing. He praised her, saying, "Your vocal condition is better than I was worried about. Your voice always has a mysterious quality, and you still haven't lost that." Hearing this, Jang Jae-in became excited and playful, prompting Yoon Jong-shin to joke, "Jang Jae-in has this kind of emotional instability," which drew laughter from everyone.
