Singer Nam Jin spoke about the wealthy family he lived in as a child.

Nam Jin appeared on tvN STORY's 'Now, This Moment', which aired on the 18th.

On this day, Nam Ji-eun acknowledged the modifier ‘Mokpo rich family’ by saying, “I made a decent living.” When told that it was the house that paid the most taxes in Mokpo at the time, Namjin said, “My father ran a business. He said, “He has been in the newspaper business for a long time and was also a member of the National Assembly.”

Nam Jin, who was born in 1945 in a wealthy family in Mokpo as the eldest son and sixth child among two sons and seven daughters, had three tutors. At the time, he was rich enough to have a car and a yacht at home. Nam Jin, who went to Seoul with his friends from Mokpo, showed off his pop singing skills at a live club. Afterwards, he received an offer from a band master to become a singer, and he met his first teacher, composer Han Dong-hoon, and began learning pop songs.

That's how I debuted as a singer and was successful, but I hit a slump in my late 30s. Nam Jin, who felt that his popularity was gradually cooling down, decided to go to the United States, saying, “I happened to be going to a performance in the United States. “I went to work and met my wife by chance in New York,” he said, adding that he gave birth to three daughters in the United States.

Namjin said, “I wanted to return to Korea, but we were all born younger. After giving birth to a child, shouldn’t there be several months of postpartum care? When I thought about going to Korea, my stomach started to bulge. “That’s why I haven’t been able to come for three years,” he explained.

He continued, “The fourth and final child was my son. I called my mother and said, ‘You have a son,’ and she said, ‘You are now successful, too.’ I came to Korea while pregnant. “If it wasn’t for my son, I would have kept giving birth there,” he said with a laugh.
