Singer Jadu was revealed as contestant number 50 on JTBC's 'Singer Gain 4,' delivering yet another surprise to viewers.

In a pre-released video aired on the 28th, the studio was abuzz when the identity of singer number 50 was revealed. It was none other than Jadu, whose presence alone captivated the other contestants.

The contestants couldn't hide their surprise, saying, "It felt like seeing a celebrity," and "I never thought a national singer like her would appear here."

Jadu appeared with the keyword 'A singer who needs reconciliation,' opening up about her honest feelings that she had kept buried for a long time.

Her story began with the statement, "It's not that I fought with a person, but I've grown distant from 'this song' that I'm going to sing today," and it was enough to move everyone's hearts.

"Actually, I really wanted to be a rocker."

Jadu recalled, "My teens were all about rock." She confessed that when she was preparing music, dreaming of becoming a band vocalist, she was given a debut song that was completely different from the direction she wanted.

She expressed her pride and conflict as an artist, saying, "I was ashamed because it was music far from the rock I wanted to do."

When Lee Seung-gi asked, "You have hit songs that the whole nation knows, so it doesn't seem easy to have discord," Jadu smiled calmly and replied, "I had a new dream. It was 'Let's fail.' If I failed, I wouldn't have to sing this song. But my debut song didn't fail, so I failed."

The studio was filled with laughter and pity at her words.

Jadu's honest self-deprecation contained the concerns of an artist who, despite receiving public love, couldn't pursue the path she wanted.

"I wasn't unknown, but I couldn't become the person I wanted to be."

Jadu said that she "never really was unknown." However, she confessed that she was always followed by "a sense of failure that I couldn't become the person I wanted to be."

She confessed that she felt "ashamed" whenever she heard the two-letter name 'Jadu.'

This is because the name 'Jadu' is a symbol of hit songs to the public, but to her, it was another self created after giving up her dream.

However, Jadu now wants to let go of that attachment and love herself again.

Her words, "Now I want to let go of my past regrets and love my name again," sounded like a record of her past wounds and growth.

"A singer who needs reconciliation"... The reason she sings again.

Judge Baek Ji-young expressed her curiosity at Jadu's appearance, saying, "Will she sing 'I Need a Conversation' or 'Gimbap'?" Both songs are hit songs that are symbolic of Jadu, but at the same time, they are also music that she has wanted to avoid for a long time.

The modifier 'A singer who needs reconciliation' meant not only reconciliation with music but also reconciliation with herself.

The conflict between 'Jadu,' who received public love, and 'Jung Da-woon (her real name),' who dreamed of rock. The reason why Jadu, who hated herself for a long time in that gap, stood on the 'Singer Gain 4' stage was clear.

This stage was not a 're-challenge' but a stage of 'forgiveness.'

It was a moment of singing the song she hated the most again and embracing the song and herself.

"Now I want to love my name."

'Singer Gain 4' is a program where singers who have lost their names find themselves again on stage.

But this stage was a little different for Jadu. It was because it was a process of a singer who already had a name accepting that name again.

As she said, 'The song I wanted to be free from by failing' eventually became a bridge that connected her to the world again.

Jadu's stage, which will be broadcast on the night of the 28th, will not be a simple remake but a sincere recollection of her 20-year music career.

'That song' that Jadu will sing again will no longer be embarrassing.

Rather, it will remain as her most beautiful moment of reconciliation.
