The KBS2 music talk show 'The Seasons - Park Bo-gum's Cantabile,' broadcast on the 25th, featured the band Lucy, the group Melomance, TWS, actress Jeong Eun-ji, and Lee Joon-young, providing a special Friday night with diverse music and performances.
Lucy decorated the opening stage with 'An I Geunde Jin-jja,' conveying a refreshing and lively energy. Lucy included playful commentary in the lyrics of 'An I Geunde Jin-jja,' introducing a 'Park Bo-gum tailored' commentary that created a warm atmosphere. Choi Sang-yeob introduced a connection from when he met Park Bo-gum during a coal briquette service two years ago, surprising Park Bo-gum. Choi Sang-yeob mentioned, 'I didn't greet him separately as I was worried it would look like I was a fan,' adding, 'It felt like I was the only one covered in coal that day,' also expressing modesty.
Lucy completed a special stage with Park Bo-gum. Park Bo-gum, on keyboards, performed alongside Shin Ye-chan playing the violin, showcasing a collaboration with the OST 'The Merry-Go-Round of Life' from 'Howl's Moving Castle,' which could be seen nowhere else. Lucy noted Park Bo-gum's excellent performance and cheekily asked, 'Have you ever thought about being in a band?' bringing laughter. Additionally, Lucy presented their mini album's double title tracks 'Jamkkae' and 'Hama' live, evoking the feeling of being at a spring festival.
Next, Jeong Eun-ji and Lee Joon-young, who will be collaborating in the KBS 2TV new drama '24 Hour Health Club,' appeared on stage singing 'Dream.' Lee Joon-young appeared particularly shy but surprised everyone by showcasing extraordinary dance skills just after revealing that he participated in a hip-hop dance battle competition. Park Bo-gum expressed disappointment regarding Lee Joon-young, whom he got to know through the Netflix drama 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' stating, 'I sent a text saying I was glad we exchanged numbers, but he didn't reply.' Cornered, Lee Joon-young stammered, 'The message got lost,' but laughter erupted from the audience.
Continuing, a stage highlighting the vocal talents of Jeong Eun-ji and Lee Joon-young was showcased, as they are all-around performers. Jeong Eun-ji selected a song by a singer connected to Park Bo-gum and Lee Joon-young, choosing IU's 'I and My Sea,' impressing everyone with her sweet yet dramatic vocal performance and high notes. Lee Joon-young performed Na Yoon-kwon's 'If I Were' in line with Park Bo-gum's piano accompaniment, showcasing an emotionally compelling stage. Jeong Eun-ji and Lee Joon-young then proved their perfect harmony with a duet performance of 'Once This Night Passes,' hinting at their chemistry in '24 Hour Health Club.'
Next, Melomance took the stage to perform 'Fairy Tale,' creating an atmosphere full of excitement. Melomance revealed their 15-year friendship and 10-year journey as a team, although they admitted there had been times when they drifted apart. Jeong Dong-hwan recalled, 'There was a minor conflict. When I was about to apologize on 'Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook,' I suddenly broke down in tears.' Kim Min-seok added, 'I was in a tangled state of mind at that time. I felt confused as I suddenly cried.' Eventually, the two enjoyed a drink together, shared their honest feelings, and reconciled, completely overcoming their discord.
Melomance introduced their new album, released after 1 year and 11 months, and performed 'It's Okay, I Love You.' Notably, Jeong Dong-hwan challenged himself to rap for this album, surprising everyone with an impromptu performance of 'Your Way' while wearing sunglasses. Park Bo-gum prepared a surprise stage singing 'What Should I Do' to wish for Melomance's future and friendship, moving the two members. Finally, Park Bo-gum and Jeong Dong-hwan played piano together, while Kim Min-seok sang 'Gift,' and the audience responded with a chorus, delivering an emotional moment. Lastly, Melomance concluded the special Friday night with their new song 'A Surprise of Any Day.'
'The representative of youth,' TWS captured attention with their fresh and lively stage manners while singing 'If I'm S, You Be My N' and 'First Meeting Doesn't Go as Planned.' TWS shared their connection with Park Bo-gum from a meal gathering, noting that while the 'older line' of the members sat at the same table as Park Bo-gum, the 'maknae line' regrettably could not join them. Park Bo-gum promised to exchange numbers with TWS, raising expectations for future connections.
Meanwhile, the maknae of TWS, Kyoung-min, who turned 19 this year, shared a cute and quirky goal about what he wants to do as an adult, saying, 'I want to eat 'Jjagechi' with the hyungs at the PC room after 10 p.m.' Park Bo-gum responded, 'I'll make 'Jjagechi' for you,' and '10 p.m. is too late,' sparking warm smiles. Following this, TWS performed Jung Kook's 'Seven' and the OST of 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' 'My Love By My Side,' and even showcased a performance of 'Your Name' with Park Bo-gum's piano accompaniment, displaying their diverse shades of youth. Finally, TWS brought out their new song 'Doesn't Running According to My Heart Seem Cool?' showcasing their unique freshness.
Meanwhile, 'The Seasons - Park Bo-gum's Cantabile,' filled with impressive well-made performances, airs every Friday night at 10 p.m. on KBS2.
