Unforgettable Moments on ‘금타는 금요일’: A Deep Dive into the Tribute to Kim Se-hwan

[Sports Today reporter Jeong Ye-won] Kim Yong-bin of 'Geumta-neun Friday' was visibly swept up by the show's energy.

The April 10 broadcast of TV CHOSUN's variety program 'Geumta-neun Friday' served as the second part of "The Last Story of Sessibong."

That evening, Chu Hyuk-jin paid tribute to Sessibong's Kim Se-hwan with a stirring rendition of "좋은 걸 어떡해" (What Can I Do About Liking Someone?). He held the audience with silken phrasing and assured vocal control.

Kim Se-hwan praised the performance, recalling that he won the grand prize with this song in 1974 and calling Chu's delivery excellent. Chu said he approached the lyrics more like poetry. "When I sing trot, I usually lean into han — that deep, lingering sorrow — but with this song I focused on the lyrics and their emotional nuance," he explained.

Next, Choi Jae-myung chose "길가에 앉아서" (Sitting by the Road), which further raised the room's energy. Kim Yong-bin enjoyed both performances and responded with animated enthusiasm.
