Son Suk-hee and Kim Jong-seo, Legends of Journalism and Rock Music Meet for Special Musical Connection

South Korean rock legend and singer Kim Jong-seo, 61, shared a special musical connection with media figure Son Suk-hee, 70, who is nine years his senior.

During the MBC Standard FM radio show "Son Suk-hee's 12 o'clock" broadcast on October 15, host Son Suk-hee surprised Kim by displaying his dedication as an ardent fan who knows not only Kim's hit songs but also lesser-known album tracks and hidden gems. The two legends' in-depth talk on music delivered a unique resonance and warm chemistry to the listeners.

When Son mentioned that Kim has been performing over 20 songs live in their original keys during his recent nationwide tour, Kim shared his fierce self-discipline and honest convictions, stating, "I set my own standards and view this as a personal challenge to continue striving as a musician rather than settling into comfort."

In particular, special remarks were made about singer Kim Jang-hoon, who serves as the general director for this 2026 nationwide tour concert titled "Everyone's Kim Jong-seo." Kim Jong-seo heaped praise on him, saying, "I joined hands with Kim Jang-hoon, the 'God of Performances' who possesses unrivaled planning skills and ideas. He has given me massive wings through creative and multi-dimensional staging so that I can focus entirely on singing and passionately connect with the audience on stage."

Meanwhile, Kim Jong-seo also shared exciting news about his year-end activities that will thrill fans. He is gearing up to release a new single album on November 3, followed by a special Christmas concert on December 25 at Sogang University's Mary Hall, promising to gift audiences an unforgettable, passionate winter.
