[MyDaily = Reporter Park Seoyeon] Tae Jin‑ah, the reigning "trot" king known for his devotion to younger artists, warmly congratulated singer Seong‑ri on her victory on Unknown Legend.
On May 14, Tae Jin‑ah posted a photo to his social account capturing the moment Seong‑ri was declared the winner of MBN’s Unknown Legend: Trot Players’ Ranking War.
Tae has watched Seong‑ri hold on to her dream of becoming a singer despite a difficult family background, and he celebrated as she finally emerged from a long period of obscurity by winning Unknown Legend. He followed her performances on the show and regularly offered encouragement by phone, text and messaging apps. Having tracked her since her debut and knowing the hard road that brought her here, Tae said Seong‑ri’s victory felt as moving as a family triumph.

After being named the winner, Seong‑ri said, "I am so grateful. Since I first dreamed of being a singer, I’ve faced more setbacks than I expected. I went through countless auditions and realized how difficult it is; at one point I even learned how to wallpaper and almost gave up my dream. I’m amazed and thankful that not giving up led to this bright day."
