Kim Yeon-ja reveals microphone habit Park Myung-soo pointed out on KBS 1TV
Kim Yeon-ja marked her 52nd debut anniversary on KBS 1TV's morning program, explaining why her microphone moves farther away as she gets excited on stage. She also shared her short sleep routine and stage-centered fitness habits.
Singer Kim Yeon-ja marked her 52nd debut anniversary on KBS 1TV's 'Achim Madang' and personally discussed her stage habits and stamina management. The key point was her distinctive habit of moving the microphone away from her mouth as she gets more excited, and the story that she became aware of it after a past comment from Park Myung-soo.
Feelings on the 52nd Anniversary Since 1974 Debut
Kim Yeon-ja greeted viewers with her signature bright energy. She expressed her gratitude to the public, saying, "I debuted in 1974, and this year marks my 52nd anniversary. I was able to come this far because you all loved me."
Even ahead of this appearance, her preparation was extraordinary. Kim Yeon-ja, who usually sleeps for about 2 hours, increased her sleep time to 4 hours to sing on this day and woke up at 4 AM to prepare for the broadcast.
Microphone Adjustment Habit Pointed Out by Park Myung-soo
The broadcast crew focused on Kim Yeon-ja's habit of 'singing with the microphone held far away,' which is known as her trademark. It was a moment where Kim Yeon-ja's stage manners, characterized by her explosive vocal volume, became a hot topic once again.
Kim Yeon-ja said she originally did not know she had such a habit. She confessed that she only realized that the more excited she gets while singing, the further the microphone moves from her mouth, after hearing the observation from entertainer Park Myung-soo in the past.
The key was her vocal volume. Because of her powerful voice, she had instinctively been adjusting the microphone distance to prevent the sound from cracking or irritating the audience's ears.
67-Year-Old Kim Yeon-ja's Stage-Centered Stamina Management
Kim Yeon-ja, who is 67 years old this year, also revealed her short sleep habits. She said, "Usually, I only need to sleep about 2 hours, but since I had to sing today, I slept for 4 hours. That is a lot for me."
Her method of managing stamina is also typical of Kim Yeon-ja. Rather than doing separate exercises, she treats her activities on stage as her workout, stating, "I have a personal playground called the stage, so I only exercise there." However, she added that on days she does not sing, she practices walking 10,000 steps for her health.
On this broadcast, Kim Yeon-ja showed the daily life of a 52-year veteran singer, revealing her routine of early rising, short sleep, and using the stage like a playground.
