On the 12th, KBS Joy's 20th Century Hit Song episode 281, aired on the 12th, carried the theme "karaoke takeover: remake hit songs" and summoned remake songs that dominated karaoke popularity charts with charms different from the original songs.
No. 9 was Kim Hyun-sik's "My Love, By My Side." The original song, which represented Koreans' emotions with a rough yet delicate voice, has been loved again after singer Hong I-sak remade it as a drama OST.
No. 8 was Byun Jin-seop's "To a Lady." The original, which captured the fluttering excitement of fresh love, was reinterpreted on comedian Song Pil-geun's corner stage as a touching love story toward a hearing-impaired person and moved the audience.
No. 7 was Choi Jae-hoon's "Rhapsody of Rain." A masterpiece that expressed a sad farewell with his distinctive plaintive singing style, singer Lim Jae-hyun's remake version added more poignancy.
No. 5 was Cool's "Aloha." Remade as an OST for the drama "Hospital Playlist" with actor Jo Jung-suk participating, the song's comfortable melody and sweet vocals combined to make it a confession song for many.
No. 4 was Han Kyung-il's "Sad Invitation." The lyrics conveying the complex feelings after hearing about an ex-lover's wedding were newly reborn in the voice of Ji-hwan, a member of the group Soon Soon-hee, known as "remake artisans."
No. 3 was Weather Report's "If Only You Were Here," and the original, which contained the earnestness of unwavering love, was remade by indie band Nerd Connection in collaboration with the film "Our Summer Days," offering a different sensibility.
The long-awaited No. 1 was Can's "Heavenly Connection." This song, whose pure devotion lyrics and beautiful melody harmonize, was reinterpreted by singer Lee Chang-seop in collaboration with a webtoon and achieved a top spot on karaoke charts.
