Super Junior's Kim Hee-chul confessed that he had an online romance.
On the evening of the 8th at 8:30 p.m., KBS Joy's "20th Century Hit Song" Episode 276 introduced songs of singers who pressed forward with their own convictions under the theme "Stubborn and Stubborn~ Middle. Twisted. Artist Hit Song."
At the beginning of the broadcast, Lee Mi-joo asked Kim Hee-chul, "Have you heard that you're very stubborn?" To which Kim Hee-chul replied, "I've heard it a lot," and mentioned, "It was the first time in 20 years after debuting that I did everything according to what the company designated from head to toe," referring to this year's 20th anniversary comeback stage. In response, Lee Mi-joo said, "Don't grow up. Then you'll die," creating a cheerful atmosphere.
That day, PSY's "Father (2005)" was introduced at No. 10. PSY was originally the heir to a semiconductor corporation and studied abroad in the U.S. with his father's wishes, even entering Boston University for business, but faced significant opposition. In archival footage, PSY revealed that "to be honest, my desire to escape from my father's shadow was greater than my passion for music," explaining the reason he started music. It was said that after five years of debuting and releasing "Father," his father's heart was softened.
Fin.K.L's "Eternal Love (1999)" was selected as No. 9. Kim Hee-chul admired Lee Hyori in the stage video, saying, "She is so beautiful," and Lee Mi-joo also added, "She is beautiful."
Rain's "How to Avoid the Sun (2003)" ranked No. 8, while Boohwal's "Lonely Night (1997)" secured the 7th place. Lee Mi-joo introduced the fact that she recorded the entire 5th album over 700 hours, to which Kim Hee-chul added, "Park Wan-kyu called Kim Tae-won 'the devil of the recording studio.'"
Meanwhile, Turbo's "Cyber Lover (2000)" ranked 6th. After the departure of Kim Jung-nam, it was reported that Kim Jong-kook insisted on picking Mikey out of 3,500 audition applicants. In addition, Kim Hee-chul shared, "I also fell in love while playing Lineage a long time ago," and said, "I was really heartbroken when contact was lost. I think that was the most thrilling love I had."
Ranking No. 5 was Eun Ji-won's "Drunk in Melody (2003)", who had a stubbornness about hip-hop. After 활동 with Sechs Kies, Eun Ji-won pursued a solo career as a hip-hop artist, a dream he had since high school, but after disappointing results, he went to Drunken Tiger to learn hip-hop before releasing his 3rd album.
Emerald Castle's "Footsteps (1997)", planned and produced by Shin Hae-chul and Kim Young-seok of N.E.X.T., ranked 4th, while Lee Jung-hyun's "Wa (1999)", known as the "queen of concepts", came in 3rd.
In 2nd place, Brown Eyed Soul's "Already a Year (2001)" was revealed. Kim Hee-chul remarked, "Despite being an anonymous singer and having no performances, I think there might not have been any music broadcasts, yet over 700,000 copies were sold," adding, "Yoon Gun made this song after waking up at 4 a.m. with a melody in his head," and noted that "When he played this song for colleagues, 9 out of 10 didn't react well."
The coveted first place went to Lee Seung-hwan's "A Thousand Days (1995)". Kim Hee-chul shared that "Lee Seung-hwan went to a nightclub and came home at 7 a.m. and said he wrote the lyrics while drunk," revealing the backstory of the composition. He continued, "Lee Seung-hwan was preparing for a performance, but was worried that if he got acute appendicitis, he would have to cancel the show, so he insisted on having his appendix removed in advance. He suffered a lot as a result of insisting on having his appendix removed from the doctor," mentioning Lee Seung-hwan's story.
