Choo Sung-hoon Celebrates Milestones with New Trot Release 'Men To Man'

Choo Sung-hoon, who married Yano Shiho in 2009, is celebrating a year of milestones. After surpassing 1 million subscribers on YouTube in February, he has now released a trot song.

Big Ocean ENM released Choo Sung-hoon's special track 'Men To Man' from tvN STORY's 'Handsome Trot' on all online music platforms at 6 PM on the 11th.

'Men To Man' reflects the realization that as one grows older, only true friends and lifelong companions remain, a sentiment captured through Choo Sung-hoon's sincere emotion and vocal tone, promising to leave a lasting impression on listeners.

The song's intrigue is heightened by the fact that composer Yoon Il-sang crafted the title, lyrics, and melody on the spot after hearing Choo Sung-hoon's life story and song. The track is further enriched by the participation of genius classical guitarist Dung Chi Tang Chi, whose intricate guitar work adds depth to the sound.

The collaboration between Yoon Il-sang and Choo Sung-hoon is drawing attention. Known for his prowess as a mixed martial artist and YouTuber, Choo Sung-hoon showcased his unique trot skills on tvN STORY's 'Handsome Trot,' delivering a fresh experience. His performance of 'Come Back to Busan Port' was particularly moving, captivating viewers with its emotional depth.

Yoon Il-sang, often dubbed a hitmaker, has proven his wide musical range with ballads and dance tracks like Lee Eun-mi's 'I Have a Lover,' Cool's 'Woman on the Beach,' and Turbo's 'Love Is... (3+3=0),' as well as serving as the music director for the film 'The Outlaws 4.' The synergy between Choo Sung-hoon and Yoon Il-sang is eagerly anticipated.
