[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Singer Lim Ji-an shed tears thinking of her younger sibling.

On the 14th, Lim Ji-an, who is the subject of a YouTube video with 2.2 million views, appeared on SBS's 'Trot God Has Come 2 - Last Chance.'

Lim Ji-an, who attracted attention with a touching story with Trot God Kim Yeon-ja in the first round stage, captivated viewers with her explosive vocal power and advanced to the second round in first place.

At the time, Kim Yeon-ja explained, "We've known each other for about six years, but Ji-an had too many things going on. She stayed at my house to be nurtured as a singer, but something big happened after she left." Lim Ji-an's younger sibling passed away in the 2017 Mokpo taxi murder case.

That day, Lim Ji-an chose the song 'To You Who Go to Memories,' and Joo Hyun-mi asked, "When you sing with real emotion, it seems the feelings amplify. May I ask who you were thinking of while singing?"

Lim Ji-an said, "I have a younger sibling who went too far away. There is a phrase in the lyrics, 'Don't ask the reason why I have to leave.' I think I sang it by empathizing with that," as she reddened her eyes.

She continued, "I couldn't sing for several years, but now I am singing little by little. I think I gained courage by bringing out my emotions."

Although Lim Ji-an was unfortunately eliminated from the competition, Kim Yeon-ja comforted her, saying, "The result is disappointing, but I think it will help a lot in the future. She sang well in her own Lim Ji-an style."
