The original artist of 'APT.,' Yoon Soo-il, who succeeded in a reverse chart surge after 42 years on 'Immortal Songs,' will make an appearance.
KBS2's 'Immortal Songs' is undeniably the top music variety program, boasting the highest simultaneous viewership ratings. The 694th episode airing on the 22nd will feature 'Artist Yoon Soo-il.'
On that day, as 'APT.' created by Rosé and Bruno Mars dominates globally, Yoon Soo-il, who became the protagonist of the reverse chart myth with 'APT.' after 42 years since its release, will make a decisive landing. This broadcast will revisit Yoon Soo-il's musical world, which was loved for its Korean rock sound producing diverse hit songs, and timeless classics by Yoon Soo-il will be reinterpreted by the voices of his juniors.
MC Shin Dong-yeop will congratulate Yoon Soo-il on his reverse chart myth, saying, 'If the villa boom happened back then, would there have been a song called 'Villa'?' In response, Yoon Soo-il humorously remarked, 'If I had made a song called 'Billy Jean,' Michael Jackson might not have emerged,' making the scene burst into laughter.
Alongside this, MC Lee Chan-won drew attention by confessing an episode linked to the reverse chart success of 'APT.' Lee Chan-won expressed respect for Yoon Soo-il, saying, 'On the music site chart, the trot chart's 1st place is always 'Believe in Me Now,' and 2nd place is my song 'Jinddo Baegi.' But when 'Jinddo Baegi' dropped to 3rd place, I saw that 2nd place was 'APT.' which brought laughter. When MC Kim Jun-hyun jumped in, asking, 'Are you feeling let down?', Lee Chan-won adorably pouted, 'A little bit.'
