Singer Jinju's current life revealed: Agency disputes and lawyer's disappearance

Singer Jinju, known for her 1997 hit "I'm Okay," will share her life story and current activities on KBS 2TV's "Songmentary Back to the Music Season 2." The program will offer a glimpse into her life as a university professor, where she mentors students and leads a choir with fellow faculty members.

Jinju debuted as a high school student and was notably the first artist discovered by producer Park Jin-young. Her early career was marked by significant success, but it was followed by a difficult period involving a legal battle with her agency. The situation escalated when the lawyer she hired, after receiving payment, disappeared, leaving Jinju to navigate the complex lawsuit alone.

Despite the challenges, Jinju continued her music career. She worked as a radio DJ and performed at various venues, including in Misari. Her journey has now led her to academia, where she serves as a professor in the New Media Music department at a university. The upcoming broadcast will showcase her dedication to nurturing young talent and her ongoing passion for music through a live performance of her representative songs, including "I'm Okay."
