[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] Singer Jung Joonil shared his thoughts on watching the SBS current affairs program 'Unanswered Questions.'

The broadcast dealt with allegations of chart manipulation involving some singers' music tracks.

On the 5th, Jung Joonil posted on his Instagram, "Yoon Donghwan, who appeared on today's 'Unanswered Questions,' is the CEO of our agency," adding, "I am a singer who has never been number one, but fortunately, thanks to many senior and junior artists who have covered my songs, I have spent the last 10 years singing with one hit song. I have never once felt ashamed of my hyung (CEO Yoon)." He expressed his feelings.

He continued, "The world will not change," and added, "I am not a very positive or optimistic person. My composing ability and my mindset for writing are not what they used to be."

He then said, "However, I have never been sad for even a moment because I couldn't make it onto the charts," and added, "So let's just keep doing what we have been doing. Although there are not many, let's focus only on good people and those who still need my music."

Earlier, at the end of the 'Unanswered Questions' broadcast, CEO Yoon appeared. He is also the CEO of MY Music, the agency to which Jung Joonil belongs.

In the broadcast, CEO Yoon said, "I wanted to compete honestly," and added, "Musicians are confused. When they release an album and there is no response, they think, 'Am I doing music wrong?' From a producer's perspective, I wonder, 'Am I incompetent for not being able to promote this album to people?'" He became emotional.

He continued, "If the competition (for music charts) is truly fair and the judgment is made accordingly, I will humbly accept it," expressing, "That part is unfair to me."

Meanwhile, Jung Joonil debuted in 2011. The song he released at that time, 'Hold Me,' achieved so-called 'reverse charting' success in 2016, ranking high on various music charts.
