In KBS2's 'Immortal Songs', the first solo special of artist Lim Young-woong, titled 'Lim Young-woong and Friends', will present its second part, with the live stage of Lim Young-woong's new song 'Melody for You', written and composed by Roy Kim, being unveiled for the first time today (6th).
KBS2's 'Immortal Songs' (directed by Park Hyung-geun, Kim Hyung-seok, and Choi Seung-beom) is the undisputed best music entertainment program, having ranked first in viewer ratings for nearly 14 years. Among them, the special 'Lim Young-woong and Friends' is Lim Young-woong's first solo special encompassing all generations, and is a unique stage created in collaboration with friends accompanying Lim Young-woong on his musical journey. The first part secured a nationwide rating of 6.8% and 6.2% in the metropolitan area, greatly increasing anticipation for the upcoming second part broadcast. (According to Nielsen Korea)
In this context, Lim Young-woong conjures up musical friend Roy Kim with the keyword 'first kiss'. The two have collaborated musically for the first time, with Roy Kim responsible for the lyrics and composition of Lim Young-woong's new song 'Melody for You'. Lim Young-woong humorously noted, "We kissed once while working together," to which Roy Kim replied, "It felt good to kiss," eliciting laughter. Roy Kim further shared that the song 'Melody for You' was born from a request by Lim Young-woong to write a song like 'Spring Spring Spring', and remarked, "From the first recording, it felt like this song wasn't just my composition, but rather a song of Lim Young-woong. He sang it so beautifully."
Consequently, the stage of 'Melody for You', the first collaboration between Lim Young-woong and Roy Kim, will be revealed for the first time. Additionally, composer Roy Kim will perform on stage himself, presenting a special collaboration that garnered enthusiastic reactions from the audience, thereby increasing anticipation for Lim Young-woong's new song performance to be included in the episode. Furthermore, Lim Young-woong and Roy Kim will deliver a special performance, singing each other's songs to show their respect for each other's musical world. Attention is focused on their joint stage, which cannot be seen anywhere else.
Meanwhile, the special 'Lim Young-woong and Friends' features friends who received direct invitations from Lim Young-woong and willingly participated in the special. Following the heartwarming stage presented in the first part last week with Lee Jeok, No Brain, and Jeon Jong-hyuk, the second part will feature appearances by Lyn, Roy Kim, Jo Jae-zu, and Choi Yu-ri, delivering a stage akin to a comprehensive gift set along with various stories to the home theater audience.
