[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Singer Jang Min-ho, who has been in the industry for 24 years, reminisced about his days as an unknown artist.

On the 17th broadcast of KBS 2TV's 'New Product Launch Pyeonstorang,' the story of singer Jang Min-ho's early days as an unknown artist, who has recently risen to stardom, was revealed.

That day, while visiting KBS after a long time and walking around, Jang Min-ho met singer Geum Jandi, who he had been close with since his rookie days, and they enjoyed singing together.

Next, Jang Min-ho crossed the famous KBS cloud bridge. There, he recalled the KBS programs he had appeared on, such as 'Sponge,' 'Crisis Escape No. 1,' 'Start Dream Team,' 'National Singing Contest,' and 'Music Stage,' and was immersed in memories. He appeared as an experiment man wearing frog goggles on 'Sponge' and played a role of a person dying in a valley on 'Crisis Escape No. 1.'

In particular, the KBS programs Jang Min-ho remembered were 'National Singing Contest' and 'Music Stage.' About his first appearance on 'Music Stage' in 2013, he said, "I couldn't sleep for 3 to 4 days after my first appearance. Because of the scarlet letter of being an idol, I didn't start trot music lightly; I really liked trot and wanted to show the (trot) seniors that I came because of that."

Jang Min-ho, who recently appeared again on 'Music Stage,' shared his feelings, saying, "I was overwhelmed. They let me sing my song at the ending."

He also revealed, "My mother recorded it on video. I have been in the industry for 24 years. These days, whenever my mother watches any program I appear on, she gets emotional. Now she really likes it."

Then, Jang Min-ho met PD Kang Seung-yeon of 'My Last Audition.' Jang Min-ho, who had appeared on 'My Last Audition' in the past, won the final victory on his father's death anniversary after fighting through injuries. Thanks to that, he also appeared on 'You Hee-yeol's Sketchbook.' The 'Pyeonstorang' members expressed amazement and admiration at Jang Min-ho's story, saying, "That's really amazing."
