A: ‘Chung Myung-whun’ said,

▶ I’m computer-illiterate. I don’t even want to use it.

I’m not interested in how the world works.

I read only one English newspaper every day, I like to read the sports and comics.

My day-to-day life is very simple, so my music, family, and my children, have only been a huge part of my life for over 30 years. That’s it.

What is the trot? I don’t know the famous ‘national singer’ at all.

However, I know singer Rain.

His relentless practice and persistence is somewhere to the right of classic music.

Becoming the best of all does not happen just by itself.
