[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Trot singer Youngtak shared his experiences participating in guide recordings and cartoon OSTs.


On the 8th, the MBC entertainment program 'Radio Star' aired a special Part 2 episode titled 'Today is Mr. Trot,' featuring Lim Young-woong, Youngtak, Lee Chan-won, and Jang Min-ho.


On this day, special MC Hong Jin-young asked Youngtak, "Before becoming a singer, did you do guide recordings for famous singers?"


Youngtak replied, "Before becoming a singer, I often did guide vocals to learn by watching over the shoulders near composers," adding, "I have experience as a guide vocalist for seniors like Park Hyo-shin, Davichi, SG Wannabe, and Super Junior."


He continued, "Guide work doesn't pay well. When doing guides, sometimes you imitate the seniors' unique characteristics," and demonstrated by saying, "In the case of senior Park Hyo-shin, you have to go slightly with a 'yu' sound like 'Hanuuuuul~'."


Youngtak, who also has experience singing animation OSTs, said, "Actually, these songs are known to children but not so much to adults. I participated in the OSTs for 'Bonobono' and 'Yu-Gi-Oh!'" and sang a line.



However, whenever Youngtak sang, there was a peculiar trot feeling, and Kim Gura reacted, "I don't think so," to which Youngtak replied, "Having done trot for a long time, whatever I do ends up sounding like trot," making everyone laugh.
