TV Chosun's 'Star Documentary My Way' (hereinafter referred to as 'My Way'), which airs today (9th), will commemorate the late original diva Hyun-mi and reveal her final story, 'Hyeon-mi, Leaving Into the Night Fog'.
Singer Hyunmi passed away suddenly at the age of 85 on the 4th, causing much sadness to not only her family and friends, but also the public. On this day's broadcast, we look back on his eventful life and tell the stories of people who remember 'Human Brown Rice' in his eternal resting place.
Hyeonmi brilliantly decorated a page of pop music history with her representative song from the 60s, ‘Night Fog.’ Since her first appearance on stage as a member of the Hyun Sisters in 1957, she has been a huge hit with every song she has released since 1962, including 'Night Fog', 'The Face I Want to See', and 'Without a Word', establishing herself as a diva in the music industry on par with Lee Mi-ja and Patty Kim. I ranked it. Although she was always glamorous and courageous, she had to go through the pain of separation from her two younger brothers in Pyongyang when she was young, and she also had to go through the love of the century, sharing happiness and misfortune with the genius composer of the time, Lee Bong-jo.
Even in her 80s, many people were deeply saddened and shocked by the sudden news of Hyeonmi, who released the new song 'Don't Worry About Me' and performed on stage until the day before she passed away. In particular, he appeared on 'My Way' in October last year and became an example to many people with his confident attitude, and now he has become a star that will shine forever.
To see him off for the last time, many people from all walks of life came to the funeral to pay their respects. Singer Johnny Lee, who often appeared on the same stage when he was alive and boasted a friendship as deep as that of his own siblings, expressed his sorrow and remembered the warm side of the deceased when he was alive, saying, "Whether he was a senior or junior colleague, 'Hyeonmi' was a person who always smiled."
Lee Ja-yeon and Lim Hee-sook, representatives of the Singers Association, recalled the deceased and said, "The person who was singing excitedly just the day before left coldly overnight," and added, "We hope that our senior, who loved the stage more than anyone else, will no longer be in pain and rest comfortably." It added to the emotional excitement. Singer Nam Il-hae, who appeared on the brown rice episode of 'My Way' last year, recalled memories of her being always full of energy and loving to talk.
As the song title suggests, the final story of Hyun-mi, the 'eternal diva' who left into the 'night fog', can be seen in the special tribute to the late Hyun-mi, 'Star Documentary My Way', which airs at 9:10 pm on this day.
