These are modifiers that follow singer Baek Ji-young, a ballad master, the queen of OST, and now a YouTuber of 5 years.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of our debut, and there has always been a twist in the moments like fate.

Let's meet an interview full of honesty right away.

[Reporter]
Baek Ji-young, a singer who gave a smile with a blank trend recognition when he was a beginner YouTuber,
What do you mean by going into the channel
" (you can go into the channel)?It's so weird to talk about the brand "
". Can I do this?"

Now, I have become a YouTuber of 5 years who is skilled enough not only to experience unfamiliar things like "Butcher Cafe" but also to naturally digest live performances in Chinese restaurants.

The start was for the fans, but I didn't know that I met in it.

[Baek Ji-young / Singer: I'm not as strong as I thought. Since I debuted as a female soloist in 1999, "Senka"? I think I planted a strong image on myself. Didn't I cheat on me a little bit?]

Looking back, the 25-year musical life was filled with unexpected moments of reversal.

The debut song [Choice], which paved the way for a dance singer, reversed her plans to debut in a ballad song and was given out of the blue, but it reminded Baek Ji-young in her 20s of her dream as a singer.

[Baek Ji-young / Singer: I found that I have power, if not a talent, in dancing, and you see me growing little by little, because I have the talent of singing. Then I realized that this was my dream that I couldn't find.]

"I Don't Love You," which was unresponsive shortly after its release, went back on the charts and opened the second act as a ballad singer,
Everyone likes the chorus of
[Baek Ji-young / Singer: I Don't Love You] because I can't love someone like you because I'm saying I don't love you again.]

The straightforward title [as if you were shot] gave you the honor of being the queen of ballads.

[Baek Ji-young / Singer: I hate guns so let's do this as if we've been hit a little bit.... At the time, I thought it was better than a gun. There are many times when it's wrong to think I'm right....]


"It was so hectic as if I was shot that I just laughed. I just laughed."

Until [Don't forget] that I kept wanting to try something new instead of ballads like Jeongseok met the drama Iris and added the modifier 'OST master,'

It's like the wrong answer, but I was able to meet the fateful moments that were the correct answer because of Baek Ji-young's 'cool' personality.

[Baek Ji-young / Singer: I think there's a lot more joy in what didn't go as planned, or there's a lot more crises coming because of what didn't plan. So a too perfect plan can bring me even more disappointment.... (When I think about it like that), I feel calm. I don't want to be happy and sad....]

The moments of enlightenment that have been experienced are also linked to the theme of the album commemorating the 25th anniversary of its debut.

The title song [Yes, that's right] composed by her long-time best friend Kangta sings maturity that she can accept with a nod to meet, love, and break-up. Shall we listen to a little bit of YTN?

"Yes, it was beautiful. It was with you and me at every moment, more than any movie, than any other music. It was really, really...."

Even ahead of the release of the news report and the music video on the 2nd of next month, Baek Ji-young and her honesty shone in solid confidence that she did not want to celebrate the 25th anniversary in a grand way.
