Lee Chan-won “I want to sing ‘Chanto Baegi’ at the Opera House”

Singer Lee Chan-won revealed that he would like to sing ‘Jintobaegi’ at Australia’s landmark Opera House.

JTBC's 'Talk Partner 25 Hours', which aired on the 9th, featured world landmarks from the United States and Australia and a mouth-watering Nagoya soybean paste tour.

On this day's broadcast, Jonghyun Kim from NU'EST and Dr. Jiyoon Kim from MIT appeared as guests. Jeon Hyun-moo said, “It was Se-chan’s birthday not long ago.” He then asked, “The PD sent me a gift. Do you remember?” Yang Se-chan replied, "I received it. I remember. He sent me something that made me laugh."

Previously, on Jeon Hyun-moo's birthday, the PD gave the same thing he gave to Yang Se-chan. But Jeon Hyun-moo couldn’t remember. Jeon Hyun-moo asked, “Did you buy 50 at home?” The PD responded, “I want someone to remember,” making people laugh.

Kim Sook said, “There is a story that someone here gave a gift again.” Yang Se-chan mentioned Lee Chan-won. Lee Chan-won said he gave shoes as a gift, saying, “I thought about what kind of gift the other person would like and thought they would like shoes.”

After recording that day, there was a 'Talk Partner 25 Hour' dinner party. Jeon Hyun-moo and Kim Sook paid for the dinner. In particular, Jeon Hyun-moo made a self-portrait and shouted, "Opening next week", making people laugh.

Sydney Tokpawon introduced the Opera House. The construction cost of the opera house was expected to be 7 million Australian dollars, but it cost 102 million Australian dollars (about 91.4 billion won) to complete. The completion date was 1973, well over 10 years after the previously scheduled date of 1963. After completion, it became a globally recognized building, with profits exceeding construction costs and being listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.

The most impressive part of the Opera House is its exterior. This is because of its unique and creative appearance. The roof, which resembles a sail, is impressive. While thinking about how to shape the roof during construction, the architect got an idea while peeling an orange. He explained that it turned out to resemble an orange peel.

The interior of the Opera House was revealed. The members of ‘Talk Partner 25 Hours’ were impressed by the huge, old-fashioned performance hall. Jeon Hyun-moo said, “It was made really beautifully.” The largest room in the opera house was the concert hall.

World-class artists held concerts here, and Korean singers also performed here. Kim Jong-hyun said, “The people performing there will also be thrilled.” Lee Chan-won expressed his wish, “I want to sing Jinttobaegi over there.”
