[Asia Economy Online Issue Team] Singer Youngtak has attracted attention as fans who used the numbers he called out actually won the lottery.

Youngtak appeared on SBS PowerFM's 'Escape at Two Cultwo Show' on the 10th. On that day, Youngtak spun a roulette wheel and promised to reveal his new song "Jeonbok Meogeureo Gallae" if he won. After two attempts, he earned the opportunity to promote his new song.

Youngtak showed excitement, saying, "I released a new song after exactly one year. This is the first time I'm revealing it on the Cultwo Show." DJ Kim Taekyoon asked, "Have you been lucky lately?" and Youngtak joked, "I wasn’t doing well recently, but it seems like things are getting better. I’m practicing live here."

Then DJ Kim Taekyoon said, "You should at least call out some lottery numbers." Listeners also playfully made similar requests.

Although shyly saying, "I don’t play the lottery and I’m bad at it," Youngtak soon recommended seven numbers: 6, 17, 25, 33, 38, 41, and 42.

Two days after the broadcast, on the 12th, the winning numbers for the 1002nd lottery draw were announced, and four of the seven numbers Youngtak recommended matched the winning numbers. Some fans who bought lottery tickets based on Youngtak’s numbers were lucky enough to win 4th prize (50,000 KRW), and there were also winners who matched five numbers and won 3rd prize (1,289,676 KRW). On Youngtak’s fan cafes and other online communities, posts certifying lottery wins using the numbers he mentioned continued to appear.

Additionally, in this lottery draw, 1st and 2nd prize winners emerged from Andong, Gyeongbuk, Youngtak’s hometown, adding to the surprise.

Netizens who saw this reacted with comments such as "Please tell us next week’s numbers too," "This is amazing," and "Is this a sign that the new song will be a hit?"

Meanwhile, Youngtak released his new song "Jeonbok Meogeureo Gallae" on the 10th. Recently, he has been actively promoting by appearing on Channel A’s "These Days Men’s Life - Groom Training" and other shows.
