Actor and shaman Lee Geon-ju attempted to become a trot singer.

Lee Kun-ju appeared on TV Chosun’s ‘Mr. Trot 3’, which aired on the 9th. On this day, Lee Geon-ju said, “While performing a ritual, I said to the spirit, ‘I’m really sorry, but I can’t let go of the broadcast.'”

He said, “I think you will understand that I am being greedy. I want to kill two birds with one stone.”

Lee Geon-ju passionately sang singer Cho Yong-pil’s ‘That Winter’s Teahouse’ on stage. The judges were surprised by Lee Kun-joo’s voice.

Judge Joo Young-hoon expressed regret, saying, “I wish there had been more impact to make it memorable. I wish there had been a hit.”

Lee Geon-ju received 15 hearts and was listed as a preliminary successful candidate.

Meanwhile, Lee Kun-ju, who debuted as a child actor in 1986, received much love for his role as Choi Soon, the eldest son of a family of doorway tenants in the MBC TV drama ‘Three Families under One Roof’.

He had been inactive in the entertainment industry for a while, but in August of last year, the fact that he had become a shaman was revealed through a media report, attracting attention.

Last month, he appeared on MBC TV’s entertainment program ‘Radio Star’ and said, “It seems that the perception of shamans has changed a lot. People look at me in a friendly way and many people tell me, ‘I felt refreshed and my face became bright.'”

He continued, “There are many people who say they became a shaman to get attention or make money. I became a shaman because I wanted to live. At first, I was upset by such stories, but now I understand.”
