Afterward, recommendations for ‘Memory Salim Nam’ candidates were received through KBS's official YouTube channel, and many viewers showed great interest by mentioning various stars from their memories.
The highly anticipated first protagonist frequently mentioned in ‘Memory Salim Nam’ is Song Baek-kyung from One Time. One Time debuted in 1998 and swept various rookie and main awards, bringing a hip-hop craze to the music industry with their sophisticated music.
Song Baek-kyung gained much love from the public as a member with a cute appearance and entertainment skills, but after 2007, his appearances on broadcasts became rare, raising curiosity about his current status.
Thanks to the support of fans, Song Baek-kyung, who was summoned for ‘Memory Salim Nam’, will reveal his current status for the first time on ‘Salim Nam’. Now a father of two, Song Baek-kyung leads a busy life as a voice actor and restaurant owner, surprising everyone. In particular, he tells his son, “Dad is no longer a celebrity. You shouldn’t say that,” and reveals the reason for leaving the entertainment industry, drawing attention.
Meanwhile, it is revealed that Song Baek-kyung has a history of working as a voice actor exclusively for KBS and has participated in famous advertisement narrations. On this day, Song Baek-kyung participates in recording a radio drama as a voice actor, and MC Eun Ji-won, who watches, expresses admiration, saying, “This is not the Song Baek-kyung I knew.” Song Baek-kyung shares the story of why he had to challenge himself as a voice actor, raising curiosity about the reason.
He then shares his busy daily life running a restaurant with his 68-year-old mother. MC Baek Ji-young is amazed by Song Baek-kyung's mother’s youthful beauty, saying, “She is so beautiful. She looks just a few years older than me.” Later, Song Baek-kyung's mother recalls the circumstances that led her to work with her son and reflects on the past. She shares, “When my son was 14, my husband passed away,” revealing the time she raised her two children alone while working in the restaurant business, and Song Baek-kyung expresses gratitude, saying, “My mother has been working in the restaurant business for over 30 years, and now she is struggling the most at my place.”
Focused on preparing food without even taking a meal break, Song Baek-kyung reveals, “I endure thinking about my family. They are my source of strength,” showing his deep family love, but soon he and his mother bicker, bringing laughter.
The daily life of the first protagonist Song Baek-kyung in ‘Memory Salim Nam’ can be seen on KBS 2TV’s ‘Salim Nam’ airing on March 15 at 9:20 PM.
