[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Trot singer Lee Chanwon shed tears because he could not meet his mother due to the impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

On the 13th, TV Chosun's new variety show 'Bongsunga Academy' aired, featuring Lim Youngwoong, Youngtak, Lee Chanwon, and Jang Minho enrolling, with their mothers attending the class as observers. However, Lee Chanwon's mother, who lives in Daegu, could not participate.

Since Lee Chanwon's parents were also unable to attend during the 'Mr. Trot' competition, Lee Chanwon expressed even greater regret.

Instead, comedian Hong Hyunhee appeared on behalf of Lee Chanwon's mother. Hong Hyunhee acted as if she were Lee Chanwon's mother, bringing great laughter to the cast.

However, Hong Hyunhee had a schedule and left the filming site early, and Lee Chanwon felt deeply disappointed when she left.

The production team attempted a video call with his mother for Lee Chanwon. Seeing his mother on the screen, Lee Chanwon could not hold back his tears.

He said, "I miss you, Mom. When COVID-19 calms down, I will come down to Daegu," shedding tears and adding to the poignancy.

MC Boom, seeing this, told Lee Chanwon's mother, "I will raise Lee Chanwon as the top student," making the cast laugh. The other members also told Lee Chanwon's mother, "We will take good care of Chanwon," creating a warm atmosphere.

With this, Lee Chanwon regained his composure and smiled, showcasing his singing ability by performing 'Bongseonhwa Yeonjeong,' a song his mother wanted to hear.
