[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk was seen passionately singing Lee Jeongseon's 'Nadeuri' with a beer glass in front of him.

On the 23rd, Ryu Hyungsoo, a composer of people's songs, uploaded a video titled "Cho Kuk's Joyful Outing" on his YouTube channel 'Ryu Hyungsoo TV'.

Along with the video, Ryu wrote, "I met a familiar face and had a joyful time. It was a happy evening to see (former Minister Cho's) bright appearance."

In the video, former Minister Cho sang a song with lyrics including "Following my footsteps as I walk, passing through a seaside village, I will talk all night with kind-hearted people. Flowers bloom on the mountain, and if there are crucian carps by the water, I will sit on a stone and rest there," while gently closing his eyes to the accompaniment of Ryu's guitar.

From the middle of the song, Cho also tapped the desk with his palm in rhythm. On the desk in front of him was a plastic cup filled with beer.

He finished the song singing the lyrics, "Ah, tonight too, beautiful images arise in my dreams. When I get tired while walking, I will return again to your loving arms that welcome me with a smiling face."

After Cho's song ended, those present shouted, "Awesome, Cho Kuk!" and applauded. In the video, Cho did not say anything other than singing.
