Actor and singer HwanHee is stepping out of his main genre, R&B, and challenging himself with trot music, signaling a new golden era for his career. As a member of Fly to the Sky, he has performed on stage for 26 years, and now he’s caught viewers’ attention by appearing as a contestant on ‘HyunYeokGaWang 2.’
MBN’s variety show ‘HyunYeokGaWang 2,’ which premiered on the 26th, is a trot survival show selecting the top seven male singers to participate in the ‘Korea-Japan King of Kings’ competition next year, commemorating the 60th anniversary of Korea-Japan relations. On this broadcast, HwanHee drew significant attention by participating as a contestant rather than a judge.
During the 2000s, HwanHee, as part of Fly to the Sky, gained immense popularity with numerous hits such as ‘Sea of Love,’ ‘Missing You,’ and ‘Like a Man.’ Regarding his challenge with trot music, he revealed, “My mother used to say, ‘I can’t sing along to my son’s songs,’ and I wanted to share my music with her while I was still young.” He reinterpreted Kang SeungMo’s ‘MuJeong Blues’ with his unique style on stage, earning an ‘All Recognition’ with 33 votes, proving his vocal prowess.
Seo HyeJin, CEO of Crea Studio, stated, “We put a lot of effort into recruiting HwanHee, believing that a singer with a strong foundation in vocals could showcase a new color when challenging a different genre.” Fans are highly interested in the transformation of the duo, each pursuing new paths, including Fly to the Sky’s other member Brian.
Public culture critic Kim SungSoo commented, “R&B and trot share many emotional similarities,” and evaluated that “HwanHee’s challenge is an opportunity to expand his musical realm.” As anticipation for his future endeavors grows, many eyes are on what HwanHee will showcase in ‘HyunYeokGaWang 2.’
