The twin duo Wink showcased a calm and mature vocal performance as they reinterpreted Silver Bell Sisters' "Mapo Jongjeom" on KBS1's Golden Oldies (TV program).
The twin trot duo Wink delivered the deep, soulful essence of traditional Korean music on KBS1's 'Golden Oldies (TV program)'. Comprising Kang Ju-hee and Kang Seung-hee, Wink appeared on the 1,958th episode of 'Golden Oldies (TV program)', featuring the 'July Request Songs' special, which aired on the 27th.
Taking the stage, Wink appeared in matching pure white dresses adorned with delicate lace and pearl decorations. Their styling, complete with neatly pulled-back hair and glamorous hair accessories, highlighted the duo's elegant aura. The song chosen by Wink was 'Mapo Jongjeom', released in 1968 by the Silver Bell Sisters, which earned nationwide love. Wink interpreted this song—which captures the sorrowful longing for a departed lover against the backdrop of the vanished Mapo streetcar terminus—with their signature soulful vocals.
