The late Song Dae-kwan's good deeds have been revealed belatedly.
In the 715th episode of KBS2's 'Immortal Songs' (directed by Park Hyung-keun, Kim Hyung-seok, Choi Seung-beom), which will air on the 19th (Saturday), the second part of 'Artist The Late Hyun-chul & Song Dae-kwan' will be broadcast. In this episode, Lee Ji-hoon, Hwan-hee, Enoch, Hwang Min-ho, and Choi Soo-ho will engage in a fierce showdown for the last remaining spot of honor.
First, Lee Ji-hoon will express deep emotions with Hyun-chul's representative song 'Whether Sitting or Standing, Thinking of You,' while Hwan-hee will reinterpret Song Dae-kwan's 'Our Suni' in his own style. Enoch will also sing about hope heavily with Song Dae-kwan's 'A Day When the Sun Rises,' and Hwang Min-ho will showcase the depth and talent of authentic trot through Hyun-chul's 'Return My Youth.' Choi Soo-ho is set to surprise with a unique rock version arrangement of Song Dae-kwan's 'One Train Ticket.'
In particular, this second part of the broadcast features a duel between the only authentic trot singer Hwang Min-ho and the pioneering singers Lee Ji-hoon, Hwan-hee, Enoch, and Choi Soo-ho, who have taken on the trot genre as another point of interest.
Previously, Lee Ji-hoon, who has dominated everything from ballads to musicals, and the ultimate R&B master Hwan-hee have been expanding their spectrum as trot singers by recently appearing in a trot audition program. Additionally, Enoch, who was a musical actor, is pioneering a new genre called 'mutrot,' while Choi Soo-ho, who majored in traditional Korean music, has expanded his territory into trot, emerging as a pioneer in the genre. This raises curiosity about who will take the championship in this glorious event honoring the late Hyun-chul and Song Dae-kwan.
Meanwhile, the stage of Enoch and Choi Soo-ho, who both consider themselves to resemble Song Dae-kwan, is also a point of interest. Enoch defines, 'Song Dae-kwan's life itself is an icon of hope,' expressing a deep respect. In response, Choi Soo-ho, who reportedly had a deep connection with Song Dae-kwan, recalled, 'He always gave me a lot of advice. He encouraged me to challenge without limits,' leaving the waiting room in tears.
Meanwhile, the masterpieces of Hyun-chul and Song Dae-kwan, transcending genres and generations, are set to evolve splendidly through these five trot juniors. They are expected to reinterpret the masterpieces in their own styles, proving how far trot can wear new clothes. Notably, the sight of the judges wiping away tears in various parts of the audience has garnered even more anticipation.
The late Hyun-chul and Song Dae-kwan have long been beloved as national singers, leading the popularization and golden age of trot in Korea. This special program not only revisits the masterpieces of the late Hyun-chul and Song Dae-kwan but also presents a tribute stage filled with the respect of their junior singers, bringing joy and emotion to the viewers. The interest of trot fans is sharply increasing with this matchup of traditionalists and pioneers.
The tribute stage for the late Hyun-chul and Song Dae-kwan's symbolic performance was broadcast in the first part on the 12th (Saturday), and the second part is set to meet viewers on the 19th (Saturday). 'Immortal Songs' airs every Saturday at 6:05 p.m. on KBS 2TV.
