Recalling his days dreaming of becoming a traditional trot singer, Pyeon Seung-yeop visited composer Lee Ho-seop.

Looking back at the immense love ‘Chan Chan Chan’ received, Pyeon Seung-yeop shocked everyone by confessing, “By today’s standards, my daily income was over 100 million won.” He shared that while there wasn’t much of a reaction immediately after its 1992 release, it exploded in popularity about a year later, sweeping the trot charts. He honestly admitted, “Since I made money so easily, I thought it was normal.”
The production team praised him, saying, “Pyeon Seung-yeop is someone who shines brightest on stage,” and asked fans to look forward to his honest stories and wit.
