[Sportschosun Lee Ge-eun] The heartbreaking family story of trot singer Lee Soo-yeon has been revealed.
On the 17th, KBS2's "Fun-Staurant" released a preview video titled, "What is the firm belief of the grandparents who manage trot prodigy Lee Soo-yeon's earnings? Jang Min-ho is also shocked."
Jang Min-ho told Lee Soo-yeon's grandmother, "You must be so happy that Soo-yeon is doing well," and she replied, "There are times when it feels like a dream. I feel so happy that Soo-yeon is loved wherever she goes," expressing her satisfaction.
Jang Min-ho also said, "If her father could see Soo-yeon now, I think he would be very happy." Lee Soo-yeon's father passed away in 2020, when she was 7 years old. Her grandmother said, "He would probably adore her so much. He would be running around saying he wanted to be her manager," and Lee Soo-yeon gave a faint smile.
MC Boom, with reddened eyes, then said, "Her father would want to help Soo-yeon grow up even stronger."
Lee Soo-yeon's grandmother said she would continue saving all of Lee Soo-yeon's earnings carefully until she turns 19. She said, "We have to stay healthy and work hard so we can take good care of Soo-yeon. We are saving all of her income. We need to save every penny." Jang Min-ho was once again surprised, saying, "I heard they have not touched even 1 won of the money Soo-yeon has earned."
Lee Soo-yeon said, "I keep telling them that I am fine, so they should spend some money on Grandma and Grandpa. But then Grandpa scolds me, saying that won't do."
Meanwhile, Lee Soo-yeon, born in 2014, became known through appearances on "National Singing Contest" and "Miss Trot 3." She released an album in 2024 and officially debuted as a trot singer. She is currently being raised by her grandparents.
