[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Trot singer Lee Chan-sung revealed the reason why he was eliminated from 'Mr. Trot.'

On the 22nd episode of KBS JOY's 'Ask Anything,' Lee Chan-sung appeared as a guest seeking advice.

During the broadcast, Lee Chan-sung confessed, "It has been two years since I released a trot album. I also participated in 'Mr. Trot,' but I was eliminated."

He said, "Before Youngtak hyung's stage of 'Why Are You Coming Out Here,' I was holding in my need to use the restroom for a long time. So, I couldn't perform to my full ability," adding, "I was told my turn was coming soon, so I held back my urge to go to the bathroom and ended up crying out of frustration."

He continued, "You have to sing while tightening your stomach muscles, but if I had done that, something bad might have happened," and said, "I came here today to show you after relieving myself comfortably."

However, after hearing Lee Chan-sung's song, Seo Jang-hoon said, "I listened to trot singers' songs for eight weeks on another program. I'm not an expert, but honestly, even if it wasn't for the bathroom incident, you would have been eliminated."

When Lee Chan-sung sang another song consecutively, Lee Soo-geun evaluated, "You sing well. You will probably get many offers for TV appearances and performances. Your popularity will increase."
