[기고] The fragrance of Jeon Yujin-Gyeongbuk Ilbo

A girl appeared to me, who considered Trot as a’Pongjak’ and turned away from it. When he heard the first verse of ‘Let’s go live in Seoul’, he cried out. He has the talent to make ordinary songs luxurious.

Jeon Yujin is a middle school student living in Pohang. I didn’t even have professional vocal training and practiced trot at a coin karaoke on my own. In just three months, he participated in the 19th Pohang Beach National Song Festival and won the grand prize with an overwhelming stage.

After a year and a half, Jeon Yu-jin, who participated in TV Chosun’s’Mistlot 2 tomorrow’, became a very popular fanatic. ‘Let’s go live in Seoul’ and’promise’ he sang gave tremendous catharsis and emotion to countless people. It is not an exaggeration to say that he led a significant portion of the audience rating approaching 30%. In particular, it set a record for 5 weeks in a row, ranking first in the’Popular People’s Support Vote’. The first place is not usually the first. Putting together various indicators, Jeon Yu-jin’s vote is overwhelming enough to be similar to the rest of the participants. His popularity and fandom are like black holes. Indeed, it cannot be said to be magical power.

The secret of his popularity is mysterious. Some say it is the tone of the heavenly world. Some praise it as the perfect balance between bass and treble. Some speak of his innocence, and others fall in love with his beautiful heart. The testimony that he recalls his faint first love is lined up. The orthodox is that “there may be people who have never heard it, but no one has heard it only once.” He is a resource that will capture the world with K-Trot Hallyu within the next few years. To be sure, he will lead the Korean Wave in the 21st century with BTS.

From the beginning of the contest, ugly rumors began to spread online. Jeon Yu-jin was a conspiracy theory that there are singers who have already been chosen as a bait for ratings and have already been chosen as true Sunmi. It was the logical basis that Jeon Yu-jin was a minor, so if he became Jin, his future utilization would be greatly limited. From the semi-finals, the fans’ popularity votes virtually determine the winner. It can be said that he has an overwhelming fandom of nearly 50%, and it can be said that if he rises to the semi-final, he is unconditional. So, it is the logic that Jeon Yu-jin is used as much as possible for the box office and then defeated before the semifinal.

This rumor has turned into reality. In’Mistrot 2′, which aired on the 4th, Jeon Yu-jin drank the high stomach of elimination. That day, many fans, including myself, cried together. ‘Jeon Yu-jin’ climbed to the top of Naver’s real-time search terms, and criticism was overflowing online. People fell in grief, like losing their family.

People have the same empathy from Jeon Yujin. Like her own daughter, she is looking at him “destiny”. However, he couldn’t sing his song properly and was thrown away. It was not’praise’ but’dropped out’ that he returned to him who surrendered the contest to the opponent in the deathmatch, sacrificed himself for the team in the team medley, and gave up the ace again. A beautiful exit was given to the participants of alleged school violence, and an insult to the incarnation of concession.

But there is a surprising twist. After dropping out, he said in a hand letter posted on Instagram, “I’m worried that the hearts of the fans who cheered me off and sent me text voting hearts every day would be hurt.” Rather, it comforted the fans. embarrassed. I feel embarrassed to the point that it is hot. Even though she was used and struck by’unrighteous and unkind adults’, she feels ashamed by a young girl who wants to grow up as a’righteous and kind adult’. A 16-year-old girl is rather healing and comforting adults.
