Veteran artist Jo Jang Hyuk explained his thoughts on joining the competitive music program 'I Am a Singer 2' on his first appearance on the show.

He revealed, "At first, I wondered if this was real. Half of me was very happy, but my other half asked, 'What should I do?' It's true that I was a little arrogant."

"But that arrogance fell apart when my manager called and told me, 'You need to feed your nephews'," he continued. "Right then, I stopped thinking about it."

It seems like his decision was not in vain as he put on a powerful performance of Lee Seung Chul's "Scream". MC Noh Hong Chul commented, "There was a reason 'I Am a Singer 2' asked him to come on the show."
