On the 25th at 8:30 p.m., the 262nd episode of KBS Joy's '20th Century Hit Song' introduced songs by singers whose real lives seemed to follow the song titles under the theme of 'Fate's prank!? The singer who followed the song title hit song.'
On this day, 9th place went to A.R.T's 'Sad Face (1997),' which was introduced as aiming for the top spot just a year after debut. Kim Hee-cheol noted, 'The music ranking program was abolished due to the IMF just three months after our debut,' and added, 'We resumed activities with our second album, but news broke that member Park Seong-jun assaulted his girlfriend. Ultimately, Taek Jin-ah, who was the representative of the production company at that time, had no choice but to decide on the group's disbandment.'
8th place was taken by Mr.2's 'Empty Seats (1994),' the representative song of winter seasonal songs. When Lee Mi-joo said, 'The title is too sad,' Kim Hee-cheol also remarked, 'It makes me cry,' mentioning that 'during the recording, the two members joked, 'If we sing this song, won't our audience be empty?'
'3! 4! (1996)' by Roola, which means to get up four times after falling three times, ranked 7th, while 'You, Who I Accidentally Encountered (1982),' which was highly respected by the late Shin Hae-cheol, took 6th place. The lead vocalist of the band Song Gol Mae, Koo Chang-mo, mentioned that he had no girlfriend at the time of creating the song, but later met his current wife by chance after this song was released and fell in love at first sight. The group's leader, Bae Cheol-soo, also described how he married Park Hye-young, a producer of 'Bae Cheol-soo's Music Camp,' after the song's hit, prompting Kim Hee-cheol to cite examples of people who met and married within the broadcasting station, including 'Hyung Dong-yeob also with producer Sun Hye-yun, and Kyung-hoon too.'
Following this, 5th place went to S#arp's 'Tears (2002),' and 4th place went to Yumi's 'Love Is Always Thirsty (2002).' Announcer Lee Dong-geun explained that 'Yumi mentioned in a broadcast that it seems like she followed the title, revealing that when she sang the song, she was 25 years old, and since a blind date at 28, she has remained single until now.'
3rd place went to 'My Love, To You (1990),' which brought together the couple Jo Gab-kyeong and Hong Seo-beom. The two, who were seniors and juniors at the same agency, initially had no interest in each other, but were brought together to sing this song by the agency president's suggestion. It was revealed that they naturally developed into a couple while driving together under the directive of the agency president to 'take Jo Gab-kyeong home.'
Meanwhile, the representative male duo of the 1990s, Green Zone, ranked 2nd with 'Unprepared Farewell (1995).' Kim Hee-cheol explained that this song was 'a popular song that topped the weekly chart of KBS 'Top Ten' for three weeks and ranked first across all three terrestrial broadcasters.' Following that, member Kwak Chang-seon stated, 'When we sang 'Unprepared Farewell,' one by one around us passed away. Our mother, father all passed away,' revealing a personal story related to the title with a video.
The top spot for 'Fate's prank!? The singer who followed the song title hit song' was taken by 'Never Ending Story' by Resurrection, a song written by member Kim Tae-won for his wife. Regarding this song, Kim Hee-cheol noted, 'This was the song that created Resurrection's second heyday,' and Lee Mi-joo also remarked, 'This song has held the top of various ranking charts for a long time, maintaining its position in the music industry.'
