On the October 4th episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block,' featuring the 'Today That Will Become History' special, Yoon Jong-shin, who has been singing for 36 years, appeared to share his journey with the nation.
During the show, Yoon discussed the cancellation of his year-end small theater concert '2025 Yoon Jong-shin Concert: What Happened to Me This Year' due to health reasons. Despite refunding all tickets, he made headlines by hosting the world's first 'Concert Cancellation Show.'
The concert, conducted in a radio format, allowed Yoon to creatively engage with stories sent by the audience. Although tickets were refunded, the venue was packed, and his unique approach and calm handling received praise.
Yoon also revisited his musical journey. Debuting in 1990 as a guest vocalist for 015B, he has released a total of 641 songs, including hits like 'Rebirth,' 'Like It,' and 'Uphill Road,' impressing viewers. He performed a live rendition of one of his signature songs, 'The Day Long Ago,' touching hearts with his deep emotional delivery.
He shared anecdotes about his close friendship with director Jang Hang-jun, who was a refuge during tough times. Yoon humorously congratulated Jang, who is on the verge of becoming a '10 million director' with the film 'The Man Who Lives with the King.'
Yoon's chemistry with Yoo Jae-suk also shone through. He humorously recounted experiencing 'Yoo Jae-suk phobia' due to Yoo's spontaneous dance time calls, bringing laughter to the set.
Finally, Yoon updated viewers on his ongoing 'Monthly Yoon Jong-shin' project, which has been running for 16 years. He expressed his love for creating music, attributing his consistency to this passion, and noted that songs like 'Like It' have become karaoke staples over the past decade.
Continuing his steady music career for 36 years, Yoon recently received the 'Legend of the Age' award at the '33rd Hanteo Music Awards 2025,' solidifying his presence. Fans eagerly anticipate what music he will bring next.
