'Twenty Century Hit Song' is celebrating its 5th anniversary.
Tonight (21st) at 8:30 p.m., KBS Joy's 'Twenty Century Hit Song' episode 257 will feature a 5th anniversary special 'Viewer PICK! Last Minute of Karaoke.' This broadcast will introduce exciting songs that one would want to sing when there is one minute left at karaoke.
The broadcast will start with congratulatory songs to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Twenty Century Hit Song. Kim Heechul will celebrate the 5th anniversary by saying to Im Lee-joo, 'Stay still, stones that have rolled in,' and 'Be grateful for what you are given,' bringing laughter.
He then remarked, 'The reason we have come this far is that the production team and I contributed 99% of the effort, while the two people contributed about 1%,' to which Im Lee-joo cleverly retorted, 'Isn't it enough for you just to read the script?'
On this day’s broadcast, Now and New’s 'United as One (1999)' will be revealed.
The song was created to deliver hope to the public during the IMF financial crisis, featuring a glamorous lineup of a total of 62 singers including H.O.T, Fin.K.L, Kim Kyung-ho, Um Jung-hwa, Lee Sun-hee, Lee Seung-chul, Lee Seung-hwan, and Kim Hyun-jung.
It is also introduced that all participating singers contributed without payment, and all revenue from album sales was donated as part of the National Unemployment Overcoming Fund due to the IMF crisis.
As the song plays, Kim Heechul showcases impressions by mimicking the expressions and movements of each singer. He reveals, 'I sang this song a lot with my friends,' stating that he started to mimic from that time.
Later, in response to a comment left by a viewer saying, 'Everyone ended happily with impressions that didn’t match each part,' he humorously replied, 'I feel like you are talking to me.'
Additionally, the broadcast will unfold stories about 'Karaoke Villains.' Kim Heechul and Im Lee-joo will introduce various types of karaoke villains they have directly experienced, showing intense empathy.
Following that, to mark the 5th anniversary special, Kim Heechul's real sister will appear, surprising him by stating, 'Someone like me was our sister,' noting that she shares similar thoughts. Furthermore, Kim Heechul and Im Lee-joo will demonstrate their competitive spirit by having a karaoke scoring contest with Lee Dong-geun, a self-proclaimed '100-point machine,' with the results of the three contestants' karaoke scores to be revealed in the 5th anniversary special broadcast of 'Twenty Century Hit Song' airing tonight (21st) at 8:30 p.m.
