KBS2TV's "80th anniversary of liberation KBS special project This Moment Forever - Cho Yong-pil" has for the first time revealed a live performance recording that combined unprecedented scale and explosive reactions.
The 80th anniversary of liberation KBS special project This Moment Forever - Cho Yong-pil, which will air on KBS on Oct. 6, is a stage by legend Cho Yong-pil, who spans all generations in Korea, and his first appearance on KBS in 28 years since the 1997 "Big Show," capturing a live performance that unified the audience with unprecedented scale and his unchanged vocal power.
The concert This Moment Forever - Cho Yong-pil, held at Gocheok Dome on Sep. 6, featured the return of a singular national singer beloved for decades with numerous legendary songs: the country's first single-album million seller, the first to surpass cumulative domestic album sales of 10 million, the first Korean recipient of the Japan Golden Disc Award, the first full sellout at Jamsil Main Stadium, and the most songs by a domestic pop singer included in music textbooks. Cho Yong-pil received praise for presenting one of the largest-scale stages in Gocheok Dome concert history.
Meanwhile, the first teaser for This Moment Forever - Cho Yong-pil was released on the KBS YouTube channel, drawing attention. The released teaser contains highlights of the concert announcing the return of living legend Cho Yong-pil, capturing attention. The spectacular stage sets and the cheers filling Gocheok Dome convey the heat of the venue. The countless light sticks waving for Cho Yong-pil send shivers and make the positive reviews from audience members who attended in person palpable. Above all, Cho Yong-pil's unchanged voice and explosive energy that overwhelm the stage raise anticipation for the full broadcast.
Meanwhile, because the concert was open to the public free of charge, not only general audience members who applied for tickets through Nol (NOL), but also winners of KBS's "memory recall event," and a variety of spectators including culturally underserved groups such as people with disabilities, elderly people, children, national merit recipients and their descendants, and firefighters who contribute to national safety, attended, adding meaning, according to reports. Despite sudden heavy rain and a large number of middle-aged and older attendees, the event recorded a 97% seat occupancy rate, proving the intense interest in the historic concert.
