[조이뉴스24 박진영 기자] Singer Son Tae-jin showed off his various charms while working as an ‘entertainment prince.’
Son Tae-jin appeared as a member of the ‘Rising Eagles’ of SBS’ new entertainment show ‘Passionate Basketball Team’, which is scheduled to air for the first time on the 29th, in JTBC’s ‘Knowing Brothers’, which aired on the 22nd, and showed off his witty remarks and outstanding basketball skills.
Son Tae-jin, who introduced himself as ‘Basketball Prince’ upon his appearance, revealed his presence as an entertainment ace by making the recording studio into a sea of laughter with vivid episodes such as pleasant game experiences, behind-the-scenes training, and sly vocal imitations.
In particular, along with the news that he plans to play in the small forward position in the ‘Passionate Basketball Team’, he told an anecdote about being the first Korean to be selected for the local basketball team while studying abroad in Singapore, and revealed his hidden basketball history, surprising the members.
He then chose ‘Sonshine (fandom name)’ as a keyword related to him and introduced the story behind the creation of the fandom name, saying, “A singer cannot be seen without light.” When Seo Jang-hoon testified, “I was surprised that ‘Sonshine’ even came to support the trip to the Philippines,” Son Tae-jin added warmth by surprisingly revealing the reason why he wears orange basketball shoes, the official color of the fandom, saying, “It’s my heart to beat with the fans.”
Also, while announcing the news of the year-end national tour, Son Tae-jin slyly said, “A new song just came out,” and performed ‘Melody of Love’ live on air for the first time. The cheerful and refreshing melody on top of the sweet vocals and the addictive refrain immediately raised the brothers’ excitement and created the atmosphere of a concert hall.
In the 6-on-6 basketball game played with the members of ‘Knowing Brothers’, the ‘Rising Eagles’ showed off their ace-like qualities. Son Tae-jin stood out in attack by scoring 10 points alone, and also proved his solid defensive ability by preventing goals from being conceded through accurate serve play and blocking at critical moments. Expectations for the play that will unfold in the main broadcast of ‘Passionate Basketball Team’ are rising due to the performance of Son Tae-jin, who has proven to be the central axis of the team by taking responsibility for both attack and defense.
Son Tae-jin will hold the ‘2025 Son Tae-jin National Tour Concert ‘It’s Son Time” on December 6-7, starting in Seoul, Daegu, and Busan. We plan to present ‘Son Tae-jin’s Time’ to fans with a set list that encompasses rich emotions.
‘Passionate Basketball Team’ will premiere on the 29th.
