KBS2 "Immortal Songs" featuring artist Ju Hyun-mi Part 2 is expected to offer a moving stage under the theme "Mother." Ju Hyun-mi's daughter Su-yeon is drawing attention to how she will reinterpret her mother's hit song "The Man from Sinsa-dong."
KBS2 "Immortal Songs" (directed by Park Hyung-geun, Kim Hyung-seok, and Choi Seung-beom) has firmly established itself as the top music variety program, maintaining the No. 1 viewer rating in the same time slot for nearly 14 years. The 705th episode, scheduled for broadcast on the 10th (Saturday), will unfold as Part 2 of "Artist Ju Hyun-mi."
Following the touching authenticity of Cheon Nok-dam towards trot in Part 1, this Part 2 promises an even more intense stage waiting for viewers. Five teams, including Hong Ji-min, Hong Kyung-min X Eunsu-hyung, Enock, Jo Jae-ju, and OA, are set to compete fiercely for Ju Hyun-mi's favorite spot.
In this Part 2, coinciding with Parents' Day week, a heartfelt atmosphere filled with family love is expected to dominate the stage. Hong Ji-min, who selected "The Tears of a Woman," noted, "I prepared this song as a tribute to my mother" as she takes the stage. The wave of emotion sparked by Hong Ji-min reportedly envelops the talk waiting room and the judging panel, causing Cheon Nok-dam, Enock, Eunsu-hyung, and Jo Jae-ju to shed tears. In response, Ju Hyun-mi, who witnessed Hong Ji-min's performance, also said, "It was a stage that made me think entirely of my mother," reportedly bringing tears to her eyes, which heightens curiosity about what kind of unforgettable emotional storm Hong Ji-min's stage will bring.
Meanwhile, the performance by Su-yeon, Ju Hyun-mi's daughter, with OA is emerging as a special highlight. OA is set to perform "The Man from Sinsa-dong," reinterpreted with a unique flair. Notably, a moment was captured where Su-yeon is seen smiling brightly while facing her mother and legendary artist Ju Hyun-mi, which raises viewers' curiosity to its peak.
In addition, performances by junior artists that will embellish the meaningful special are foreseen to add excitement. Hong Kyung-min X Eunsu-hyung are expected to ignite chemistry with "Wait a Moment," delivering a delightful synergy, while Enock raises his delicate voice and heartfelt emotions to the fullest with "Unrequited Love." Furthermore, Jo Jae-ju is anticipated to reinterpret "You Going to Memories" in his own style, offering a stage that blends retro sensibility and experimental spirit, which significantly raises expectations for the main broadcast of "Immortal Songs."
Since her debut in 1985, Ju Hyun-mi has become a representative female trot artist of Korea, beloved for numerous hit songs such as "Unrequited Love," "The Rainy Youngdong Bridge," "The Man from Sinsa-dong," and "Wait a Moment." This episode of "Immortal Songs" celebrates the 40th anniversary of Ju Hyun-mi's debut, highlighting her richly woven musical life and providing touching moments that bridge generations through tributes and competitions by junior artists.
Meanwhile, the tribute competition stage featuring the homage of Ju Hyun-mi and her juniors, celebrating her 40th anniversary alongside "Immortal Songs," will meet viewers on the 10th (Saturday) after Part 1 aired on the 3rd.
