[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Singer No Ji-hoon, who gained recognition through 'Mr. Trot,' opened up about his family history.

On the 24th, the TV Chosun variety show 'The Taste of Wife, Nowhere Else in the World' (Aneui Mat) featured a visit by No Ji-hoon's sister and relatives to the home of No Ji-hoon and Lee Eun-hye.

During the broadcast, the family members talked about 'Mr. Trot' and expressed regret, saying they wished No Ji-hoon's parents could have seen it.

No Ji-hoon's great aunt said, "How wonderful it would have been if the parents were still with us," and in response, his uncle recalled, "It still hurts in my heart. When I told Ji-hoon that his mother passed away shortly after his father, he said, 'Mom too?' That was really hard," reflecting on the situation at the time.

No Ji-hoon shared, "When I was in the second year of middle school, my father passed away after battling cancer for about two years, and my mother passed away 12 days after my father's funeral. I lived with my uncle's family for two years and with my aunt's family for two years. I was very young then and had no home, so my sisters gave up their studies and saved money to create a place for us to call home," he revealed.

He added, "My homeroom teacher suggested going to Incheon. In front of the hospital, he told me, 'Your mother is very critical,' and I remember how I felt at that time."

Upon hearing this, No Ji-hoon's second eldest sister tearfully said, "Even though he was so young, he didn't show sadness because he was worried we would break down. When we said, 'It's okay to cry,' he held back his tears, which was even sadder."

No Ji-hoon also revealed, "Actually, my dream was to become a soccer player. But I had to go to college, and the tuition and monthly expenses were more than I expected. I didn't want to burden my sisters, so I looked for a second dream, which was to become a singer."
