Song Ga-in from ‘The Birth of a Hero’, from Pansori Talent to Trot Empress

The process of singer Ga-in Song (real name Cho Eun-sim, 36) becoming a ‘Trot Jin’ was highlighted.

TV Chosun’s ‘The Birth of Five Heroes’, which aired on the 12th, contained the story of Trot Empress Song Ga-in.

Singer Song Ga-in’s full-fledged start was at the National Singing Contest. In the winter of 2010, Song Ga-in received the first prize in the Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do National Singing Contest, and won the Excellence Award in the finals at the end of the year. A person in the music industry who saw this stage contacted me.

He debuted in 2012 with ‘Love Song’, but continued to live an unknown life for a long time. The opportunity came in 2019. She got to appear in ‘Miss Trot Tomorrow’. During the preliminaries, Song Ga-in, who proudly said, “I came from Jeolla-do,” showed off her presence with “a lot of Daedonggang.”

Song Ga-in showed a new look by singing Yoon Soo-il’s ‘Apartment’ as a ‘Sukhaengseu’ team in Mistrot, showing ‘knife choreography’, and neatly digesting the high notes of So Chan-hui’s ‘Tears’.

Above all, his true value was revealed in the authentic trot. After going through ‘Yongdusan Elegy’ and ‘Youngdong Blues’, he finally won the championship.

The history of active activities with pansori before debut was also revealed. Ga-in Song won the Jindo Folk Song Contest in 2008, and she also received the Minister of Culture and Tourism Award for two consecutive years at the government-sponsored Gugak Contest.
