“I didn’t touch the 600 million won in prize money” Son Tae-jin explains the rumor that he is marrying the daughter of a foreign tycoon

Singer Son Tae-jin explained fake news.

On the 1st, a video titled ‘Jaejoong hyung’s No. 1 ambitious man aiming for first place’ was posted on the YouTube channel.

On this day, Son Tae-jin attracted attention by revealing that he participated in the audition program twice and won both times, saying, "I won 'Phantom Singer' seven years ago and 'Flaming Trotman'." In response, Kim Jaejoong, keeping the winning prize money in mind, joked, “I heard you’ve already built the building?”

Taejin Son could not help but laugh at this and mentioned fake news. He said, "When I looked at Rekka News, there was a story that I married the daughter of a foreign chaebol. There was also a story that I already had a house in Yeouido," and actively clarified, "That is not true at all."

Son Tae-jin, who said about fake news, "I also enjoy watching it," said, "But because of that, there were some misunderstandings and rumors." Jaejoong Kim asked, "I'd like to ask about a misunderstanding. You were originally majoring in vocal music, but why did you change the genre?" Taejin Son responded, "But the military band was very big. We sang 'Red Sunset' and people really liked it. I thought it was dull. “I thought I should make music that is easily approachable,” he said, explaining the reason for changing the genre from vocal music to trot.

Kim Jaejoong mentioned the fake news again, saying, "Is it good because I live in Yeouido?" and Son Taejin burst out laughing and said, "I didn't buy it. There's nothing like that at all. I went from monthly rent to jeonse rent." Taejin Son revealed that he lives in Nonhyeon-dong, not Yeouido.

In particular, Son Tae-jin drew attention by saying that he received 630 million won in prize money for winning 'Burning Trotman' and saying, "I honestly did not touch the prize money."
