Singer An Seong-hoon revealed the reason he pursued his dream of becoming a singer.

On the morning of the 10th, An Seong-hoon appeared on the KBS1 cultural program 'Morning Yard' alongside Son Heon-soo in the Tuesday guest segment. He is set to form a trio with Son Heon-soo and Kim Min-kyung for the upcoming show 'The Birth of Workers Season 2', which will premiere on the 11th at 7:40 PM, and is expected to serve as workers for the elderly across the country, generating excitement among fans.

An Seong-hoon stated, "I am the youngest worker, the glasses worker. I am in the process of growing little by little by talking with the elderly and learning from Brother Heon-soo. Since I haven't had much work experience, I was relying on my brother, but during the first shoot, as soon as we went to the field, I got scolded, and everyone, including my brother, got scolded too," he revealed.

He continued, "When I meet the elderly, they greet me warmly and treat me well, but once we start working, they scold me a lot. Since I have done many part-time jobs since I was young, if they teach me, I can learn and do well. I hope the elderly won't just scold me but will teach me well," showing his confidence and passionately singing his hit song 'Mom's Flower', which he wrote the lyrics for, bringing deep emotion.

He also confessed that he had been working to pay off his parents' debts since high school. An Seong-hoon said, "My father's business didn't go well since middle school, so starting from high school, I worked part-time jobs like delivering flyers for a Chinese restaurant, working at a gas station, a wedding hall, and a convenience store. Then I saw an announcement for a song contest, sang trot, and won a popularity award. After that, I went to national song contests to earn prize money. Eventually, I developed a dream to sing my own songs and decided to pursue a career as a singer," explaining how he came to dream of being a singer.

He added, "It's a secret, but I failed twice at the national singing contest when I was in high school, and the last time was when I was on leave from the military. With the experience I honed in the military, I applied and was lucky enough to pass and win the grand prize," confessing the tremendous effort he put in to eventually win first place in the TV Chosun competition program 'Mr. Trot 2'.

Finally, An Seong-hoon said, "In this 'The Birth of Workers Season 2', three siblings who work very hard have come together. I ask for a lot of love and interest," he urged.
