[Sportschosun Reporter Park Aram] Comedian Jo Hye-ryeon drew attention after revealing that she has recently received requests to perform at funeral homes.
A video titled "Sisters Are Just Making Excuses" was uploaded to the DdeunDdeun channel on the 20th.
That day, Jo Hye-ryeon said she has more than 10 songs in her repertoire and has been steadily continuing her music career. Lee Kyung-sil joked, "I think you'll end up appearing on Golden Oldies someday," drawing laughter. Jo Hye-ryeon also said she had a wedding congratulatory performance scheduled after the shoot, proving just how popular she has become.
During the conversation, Yoo Jae-suk mentioned Jo Hye-ryeon's signature song, "Anakana," and recalled, "I remember that when it first came out, it could not be aired because of broadcast review issues." Lee Kyung-sil added, "There was a time when even we felt embarrassed by it," turning the set into a sea of laughter.
Jo Hye-ryeon said she has recently been receiving unexpected performance offers. She began by saying, "Not long ago, Hong Hyun-hee talked on a broadcast about something that happened at her mother's funeral."
According to Jo Hye-ryeon, she sang directly to comfort Hong Hyun-hee, who was deeply grieving at the time, saying, "Bless the road as you go to heaven." After that story became known through the broadcast, requests began coming in for her to sing at funeral homes.
She said, "That is how I get offers for funeral homes too. I have received calls from several places asking me to offer a blessing." She added honestly, "I have not performed yet, but I am struggling with whether I should accept."
After hearing this, Lee Kyung-sil said, "There are cases where people live long, healthy lives and then pass away. From anyone's point of view, the funeral home that contacted her probably wanted to send the person off with great care."
