KBS 2TV ‘Immortal Songs’: Nostalgic Hits Revived with Modern Touch

KBS 2TV’s beloved show, ‘Immortal Songs’, once again brought legendary hits back into the limelight, captivating audiences with a mix of nostalgia and fresh interpretations. In its 684th episode, which aired on December 7, veterans Noh SaYeon and Choi SungSoo graced the stage alongside ten talented teams competing for the top spot.

Opening the show, singer Woody performed Noh SaYeon’s iconic song “Wish,” a track that has seen a resurgence in popularity, thanks largely to its heartfelt cover by the rising star, Lim YoungWoong. “Even without much promotion, the song resonated deeply with the middle-aged audience, offering comfort through SNS,” Noh SaYeon shared, attributing the song’s newfound success to Lim YoungWoong’s rendition.

Following Woody’s moving performance, the girl group H1-KEY took on Choi SungSoo’s “Leaf Love,” a tune born from the singer’s need to enliven the mood during nightclub gigs. Choi SungSoo recounted, “It was a refreshing challenge to create something more upbeat, contrasting with my usual melancholic repertoire.”

A particularly heartwarming moment unfolded with a face-off between veteran Lee SeJun, born in 1970, and the young prodigy Hwang MinHo, born in 2013. Hwang delivered a stunning performance of Choi SungSoo’s “Our Joyful Love,” leaving fellow contestant Yang JiEun in awe. “MinHo is the same age as my son, who is shy and hides behind me. Seeing MinHo shine on stage makes me wonder how to nurture my own child’s talents,” she remarked with admiration.

Adding humor to the evening, Lee SeJun quipped about his children’s priorities, “They’re more concerned about how to play games longer with less homework.” In a surprising twist, Hwang MinHo triumphed over Lee SeJun, securing his first win of the night.

With each episode, ‘Immortal Songs’ continues to blend generations through music, offering a platform for both seasoned artists and budding talents to share their voices. Stay tuned for more captivating performances and heartfelt stories as this beloved show continues to honor Korea’s musical legacy.
