Trot singer Lee Chan-won gets emotional about love stories.
In the KBS2 entertainment program ‘Newly Released Convenience Restaurant’ (hereinafter ‘Convenience Restaurant’), which airs at 8:30 PM on the 13th, Lee Chan-won's daily life is revealed as he nourishes himself with health food he made at home before an important performance. During this process, it is reported that Lee Chan-won confessed to shedding tears while listening to a certain song, creating a meaningful atmosphere that piques curiosity.
In the VCR released that day, Lee Chan-won prepares for his important performance by making a fish soup for nourishment. His ability to easily cook a health menu that is not easy to make at home drew admiration, with comments like “As expected, MZ Grandma.”
While cooking, Lee Chan-won hummed a song and said, “I got so caught up in this song that it became a big deal. The moment I heard it, tears welled up.” This sparked curiosity. The song that made Lee Chan-won cry was ‘The Prayer’ sung by pop star Celine Dion at the 2024 Paris Olympics. At that time, Celine Dion, despite battling an incurable disease, delivered a powerful performance that moved the world and became a hot topic.
Lee Chan-won, who cried after watching Celine Dion sing ‘The Prayer’, brought up the poignant love story of the original singer, Edith Piaf, explaining, “This song was made with her heartfelt emotions. It’s based on a true story.” While sharing this story, Lee Chan-won became emotional, prompting Chef Lee Yeon-bok to ask, “Did you break up with someone?” What could Lee Chan-won’s answer have been?
Lee Chan-won continued, “I feel like I haven’t experienced that kind of passionate love yet. I want to see that person so much that it feels like I would die if they weren’t by my side, and I haven’t yet experienced a love that makes me kneel before a breakup...” He then gave examples of couples who have felt the ‘passionate love’ he envisions, which were so beyond imagination that the ‘Convenience Restaurant’ studio erupted in laughter.
What does Lee Chan-won think passionate love is? The honest confession of 28-year-old Lee Chan-won, who wants to experience passionate love, can be seen in the KBS2 ‘Newly Released Convenience Restaurant’ airing at 8:30 PM on the 13th.
