The 1st place in 'If you're cool, brother! Male singers recognized by men Hit Song' was taken by Shin Sung-woo's 'Towards Tomorrow.'
On the broadcast of KBS Joy's '20th Century Hit Song' episode 266 on the 30th, hits from male singers that men like were introduced under the theme 'If you're cool, brother! Male singers recognized by men Hit Song.'
In the early part of the broadcast, when photos of Cha Seung-won, So Ji-sub, and Ryu Seung-beom with facial hair were revealed, Kim Heechul said, 'The beard suits them well,' and asked Im Yoona whether a man with a beard or a man who shaves is better. In response, Im Yoona replied, 'I prefer a shaven person. Because, when kissing (with a beard), doesn't it feel prickly?' To which Kim Heechul shot back, 'I have no reason to kiss a man with a beard,' showing a flustered expression, adding to the humor.
In 10th place was Kim Jung-min's 'Infinite Love (1996),' famous for being the OST of the KBS drama 'I'm Sorry, I Love You,' and in 9th place was Yada's 'Funeral (2000),' which captivated male fans with its rough voice and brilliant guitar performance. Kim Heechul particularly noted while introducing Yada that 'they were so popular they could be called the original military president. During Jeon In-hyuk's military service, a male fan brought food enough for not only Jeon In-hyuk but also his dorm mates to visit.'
Drunken Tiger's 'Do You Know Hip-Hop? (1999)' ranked 8th. Kim Heechul remarked, 'Back then, if you went to see Tiger JK's performance, he had a habit of giving away t-shirts, shoes, socks, and hats to the fans who came to see him out of gratitude,' and joked, 'I can give away stuff too.'
Flower's 'Endless (2000),' referred to as the brother group of Yada, ranked 7th, and N.E.X.T's 'To the Sun, to the Boy (1997),' chosen as one of the 11 songs to cherish for a lifetime by Shin Hae-cheol, took 6th place. He explained that 'Flower's concerts had a higher proportion of male audience compared to other singers, and they were famous for closing the show even as male singers due to their hotter reactions in the army compared to girl groups.'
In 5th place was the duet's 'Look Back at Me (1993),' which led So Ji-sub down the path of hip-hop, and in 4th place was Buzz's 'Monologue (2003),' which features several hit songs like 'Coward,' 'Thorn,' and 'I Don't Know Men.' Kim Heechul mentioned, 'There's probably no one who hasn't sung a Buzz song,' adding, 'Actor Kang Ha-neul said, 'Buzz wasn't just the whole class; the whole school was fans of them.''
Yoon Do-hyun's 'Love Two (1994),' which gained popularity after 8 years through a resurgence, placed 3rd with the explanation that 'In 2002, as YB became the national rock band with the 'World Cup cheering song,' Yoon Do-hyun's solo songs became a topic of interest again and experienced a resurgence.'
Kim Min-jong's 'Rainy (1999),' which captivated men's hearts with his tough voice and acting, took 2nd place. Im Yoona said, 'The reason Kim Min-jong is popular with men is that many of his songs have the theme 'I let go because I love you,' while women don't like such lyrics because they wonder why someone loving them would leave.' In response, Kim Heechul commented, 'It's because they leave due to love. Do you know why? It's to sing these songs at karaoke.'
The coveted 1st place in 'If you're cool, brother! Male singers recognized by men Hit Song' was selected as Shin Sung-woo's 'Towards Tomorrow (1991).' Kim Heechul introduced a story where Shin Sung-woo, during his prime, bought a house for his friends who were in music. Following, in response to Im Yoona's question about how much money one could spend for a friend, Kim Heechul answered, 'I could give several million won and even help with a store.' When Im Yoona asked, 'Are we friends?' Kim Heechul firmly replied, 'No, we are just broadcasting colleagues,' creating a light-hearted atmosphere.
