Song Chang-sik, "Girled through illegal artificial insemination", the reason he adopted his two children

Singer Song Chang-sik recalled the difficult times of his past when he lived homeless.

In the 150th episode of KBS2's entertainment show 'Park Won-sook's Let's Live Together Season 3', which aired on the 15th, singer Song Chang-sik from C'est Si Bon met with the Saseon-ga sisters.

On this day, the four sisters of Saseonga immediately invited Cé Si Bon Song Chang-sik. Park Won-sook said, "It's been almost 50 years since we met. I met him briefly when I was a student. He was a fresh-faced, unknown boy and girl."

Park Won-sook, who met Song Chang-sik for the first time in 55 years, recalled Song Chang-sik from the days when he was singing as an amateur singer at a concert hall and said, "The concert hall was held by my friend's aunt," and "I didn't know Song Chang-sik was good at singing. My older sister, who plays classical music, said he was good at singing, so I went to play. “I went. Song Chang-sik even sang over the phone,” he boasted.

Song Chang-sik, a graduate of Seoul Arts High School, said about the reason he quit classical music, "I had no money. When I first dreamed of classical music, I thought I could become a good musician if I worked hard. But when I started studying music at Seoul Arts High School, I realized I couldn't just do that. "My skills, which I thought were the best, were almost last when I went to arts high school. Other kids received formal training, but I had no way to receive it, so I had to achieve it on my own. So, even though it was regrettable, I gave up," he explained.

Song Chang-sik, who confessed that he was an orphan because his parents were not there, said, "At the time, I was not just a little poor, but homeless. Before doing Twin Folio, I went to C'est Si Bon as a homeless person. I lived on the street for two years. C'est Si Bon said, 'If you come and sing, they'll give you food.' “I went,” he said.

Song Chang-sik then added, "I gained a lot back then. I don't have to worry about, 'What will I do if I don't make money?' That's nothing compared to the old days."

Song Chang-sik also spoke about the reason why he adopted two children. He was raising a total of three children, including a son born to the couple, an adopted daughter, and an adopted son. Song Chang-sik said that he took charge of his second child, a child to be adopted by his brother-in-law, for a while before going to the United States, but the adoption was canceled due to a change in the law, so he ended up adopting the second child. The third said, “I brought my wife’s twin sister, who was born in the United States. It was not the result of a normal married life, but an illegal artificial insemination that was not approved in the United States. “At the time, it was an illegal artificial insemination that was not approved in the United States, so we couldn’t raise him ourselves, so we adopted him as our third child,” he explained.
