The show summons singers who have lived their lives like the song titles in '20th Century Hit Song.'
In the 262nd episode of KBS Joy '20th Century Hit Song,' which airs at 8:30 p.m. on the 25th, singers who inadvertently followed the song titles will be revealed under the theme 'Fate's prank!? Singers who went by the song titles.'
Before revealing the theme, Kim Heechul asked Lee Mi-joo if she had heard any rumors in the music industry regarding 'following the song titles,' to which Lee Mi-joo seemed to agree. He then joked, 'When 'Ah-Choo' came out, didn't a lot of people catch colds?' and 'When we had 'Sorry, Sorry,' there were many things to apologize for,' eliciting laughter.
The show will feature the mixed group Rula, the only group to have received the grand award at a terrestrial music awards ceremony, with their song '3! 4!(1996)' being summoned. This track, which means 'Get up after falling three times,' will be reexamined as a piece that made Rula rise again like a tumbler.
Kim Heechul introduced it by saying, 'This is the song given to Rula by Lee Hyun-do, who had paused their activities due to the plagiarism controversy over their third album,' and explained, 'Lee Hyun-do from Deuce handled everything from the recording to the choreography, music video shooting, and producing,' adding, 'There was a reason for this.'
Subsequently, announcer Lee Dong-keun mentioned, 'Before the plagiarism scandal of Rula's third album, the funeral of Deuce member Kim Sung-jae was held, and many people turned away due to the rumors surrounding Kim Sung-jae's death. However, Rula stayed awake for several nights at the funeral home, showing loyalty to Deuce,' and Kim Heechul added, 'Lee Hyun-do offered Rula a chance to go to the United States as a gesture of gratitude after the controversy.'
Meanwhile, Lee Mi-joo explained, 'The original title when preparing the album was 'Future,' which contained a hopeful meaning, but Lee Sang-min suggested changing it to '3! 4!' to incorporate the meaning of getting back up.' She expressed admiration, saying, 'Just like the title, we really rose again with the fourth album.'
Moreover, Kim Heechul remarked, 'After that, the title fate theory stuck to Lee Sang-min like a tail,' adding, 'When he produced the song 'Let It Go,' everyone around him left, but when he produced 'Win Win,' he reached his peak.'
Later, while introducing a song about singers who naturally developed into lovers while working together and driving the same car, Kim Heechul told Lee Mi-joo, 'Send you to the manager's house starting today,' to which Lee Mi-joo promptly replied, 'Sure,' creating a romantic atmosphere.
Various stories, from the representative songs of the leading male duo of the 90s to a song written by Kim Tae-won of Resurrection for his wife, will be revealed in the '20th Century Hit Song' broadcast on the 25th at 8:30 p.m.
