Singer Shim Soo-bong has pledged to compose a song for Choi Yeon-hwa, the runner-up from Shim's episode on the JTBC program 'Hidden Singer 8'. The promise came after Choi Yeon-hwa's impressive performance in the show's 'King of Kings' competition, which sought to find the season's strongest impersonator.

Choi Yeon-hwa, known as 'Harbin Shim Soo-bong,' had previously surprised viewers by appearing as a guest at Shim Soo-bong's national tour concert. This invitation was significant, as she was the first guest to be invited following appearances by artists like Song Ga-in and Son Tae-jin, highlighting Shim's recognition of Choi's talent.

“

I am thinking a lot about giving songs to junior artists, and you just came. It will be the first song I make thinking of a junior artist. Just wait three months.

Shim Soo-bong expressed her intention to write songs for junior artists and specifically mentioned Choi Yeon-hwa as the inspiration for her first new song. "It will be the first song I make thinking of a junior artist. Just wait three months," Shim told Choi, moving the aspiring singer.

As Choi Yeon-hwa prepared for the 'King of Kings' finale, Shim Soo-bong offered words of encouragement. She advised Choi to sing with genuine empathy and honesty, emphasizing that a performer must connect with the emotions of a song to truly move an audience. Shim believes that sharing a heartfelt story through song will resonate deeply with listeners.

“

Have you ever missed love? A singer must empathize. If you honestly tell the story contained in the song to the audience until the end, everyone will be moved.
