Jo Tong-dal makes remark about son Cho Kwang-woo's voice, saying "I thought he was a eunuch"

The 7th episode of the KBS 2TV variety program 'Happy Together-Glad to Not Be Alone' will be broadcast on August 28.

This episode captures the 'Horn-rimmed Trio' consisting of Yoo Jae Suk, Jang Hang Jun, and Yoon Jong-shin, along with special MC Sung Si-kyung, meeting the life teammates of Group D in the finals. Pansori semi-intangible cultural heritage holder Jo Tong-dal appeared with a booming volume, making Yoo Jae Suk, Jang Hang Jun, Yoon Jong-shin, and Sung Si-kyung stand up from their seats. Jo Tong-dal revealed that he belongs to a five-generation musical family, including himself, his son singer Cho Kwang-woo, and his grandson Cho Hwi.

At this gathering, Jo Tong-dal said, "Actually, I was against my son Kwang-woo singing." He continued, "I thought Kwang-woo was a eunuch," explaining, "It's a vocalization like a eunuch in a historical drama," which surprised the audience. Jo Tong-dal even performed an impression of his son, leaving the 'Horn-rimmed Trio' flustered.

In response, Cho Kwang-woo calmly added an explanation, saying, "There is a Gugak (traditional Korean music) term called 'Goja Seong-eum' (eunuch voice)." Upon hearing this, Jang Hang Jun is reported to have laughed, saying, "What a fun family."
