Jung Seung-hwan Recalls 'K-Pop Star' Days with a Laughing Production Team Amidst 'Our Ballad' Success

Singer Jung Seung-hwan appeared on the recent YouTube channel 'DdeunDdeun' video, 'Discharging is Just an Excuse,' sharing anecdotes about the production team while reflecting on his involvement in Mnet's 'Our Ballad' and his past appearance on 'K-Pop Star.'

Jung Seung-hwan expressed concerns about whether his music would still be loved after his military discharge, along with worries about the declining popularity of ballad music. MC Joo Woo-jae empathized, stating his love for ballads and how Jung Seung-hwan's new music video felt 'precious,' showing support for his comeback.

Notably, while watching young contestants sing 80s and 90s songs on Mnet's 'Our Ballad,' Jung Seung-hwan was reminded of his own experience as a teen participant on SBS's 'K-Pop Star.' He shared a humorous story, saying, "The same production team from 'K-Pop Star' is in charge of 'Our Ballad.'" He continued, "Whenever the PD or writers see me, they let out a hollow laugh, saying, 'You were a contestant, and now you're working with us as a judge.'" Jung Seung-hwan added that about 10 years have passed since he appeared on 'K-Pop Star 4.'

Netizens are reacting positively, with comments like 'Seung-hwan's ballads are always right,' 'He was so cute on K-Pop Star, and now he's a judge, time flies,' and 'I enjoy watching Jung Seung-hwan on 'Our Ballad.' I should listen to his new songs more.' There's also a lot of agreement with Joo Woo-jae's love for ballads.
