[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Gugak artist Kim Junsu revealed that he studied sound in the mountains.

On the 16th, KBS1's 'Morning Yard' aired the 'Myeongbulheojeon' segment titled 'Eolsso~ Great! Gugak Idols.' Gugak artists Kim Junsu, Yoo Taepyeongyang, Kim Nani, Jang Seoyoon, and Go Youngyeol appeared on the show.

Kim Junsu, known as the 'Idol of the Gugak World,' said, "There was Wolchulsan Mountain 5 to 10 minutes from my house. I went to Wolchulsan to practice singing. I sat on a big rock and practiced."

He added, "Isn't there a cleanliness that the mountain gives? When I sing while breathing good air and near flowing water, I can concentrate better, and my voice echoes in the mountain, which seems to open up my vocal range."

Kim Junsu shared, "While practicing, some hikers stop walking and watch until the sound ends before leaving."

Regarding his nickname 'Idol of the Gugak World,' Kim Junsu said on the show, "The expression is embarrassing. Considering my age, should I say I am in my forties? It's quite awkward."

He also expressed gratitude toward his audience, saying, "As I encounter various works, the audience diversifies, and many people become curious about other works after watching the performances. I continue to perform like that."

Gugak artist Kim Junsu was born in 1991 and is 29 years old this year.
