26th 8:30 p.m. broadcast KBS Joy "Twenty-First Century Hit-Song" episode 283, titled "one drama! the hit-song whose ending is curious," focused on remarkable songs whose stories in the lyrics unfold like a drama.
Ranked 10th was Hong Seobum's "Kim Satgat." This song, which tells the life of a wandering poet from the late Joseon period, drew attention for being Korea's first "rap" style. At a time when the concept of rap did not exist, it was banned for the reason that "there is no melody," but it was later lifted after being explained as a new genre, a behind-the-scenes story that was also told.
In 9th place was Eagle Five's "Squid Alien." The song features a unique lyric in which a squid comes to the human world and falls in love with a woman at first sight, but becomes disappointed with her different appearance and eventually returns to his original girlfriend "Paengsooni."
In 8th place was Yoon Jong-shin's "That day long ago." This song, which realistically captures memories of first love, resonated with men, but because of lyrics about the lover who wears rubber shoes backward and cannot forget, it became a "song banned in the military." In 7th place was Young Turks Club's "White War." It tells the story of lovers whose thrilling snowball fight turns into a breakup, presented as an upbeat dance song that was loved by teenagers.
In 6th place, Wax's "Threshold of dusk" is a song that captures a woman's life like a panorama, with delicate lyrical expression that still leaves a long echo. At the lyrics "Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I've changed so much" and "If I could, I want to go back to that time," Lee Mi-joo wiped her eyes and said she related, "It's exactly what my mother used to say." Meanwhile, Kim Hee-chul said, "Someday we too will stand on the threshold of dusk with the viewers," showing a 'T' moment and creating a cheerful atmosphere.
In 5th place was Solid's "A match made in heaven." This upbeat European-style rave dance song, with a twist story in which someone goes on a blind date only to find the partner is his girlfriend, captured the public's heart with its addictive melody.
In 4th place was Easy Life's "Not you but your sister." As a hint for the song, Kim Hee-chul saw a photo of Lee Mi-joo's older sister and joked, "From now on call me brother-in-law," to which Lee Mi-joo responded, "Honey~," displaying a quick back-and-forth. When the lyrics revealing a man gradually being attracted to his ex's sister were revealed, Lee Mi-joo grabbed Kim Hee-chul by the collar and yelled, "What did you do with my sister!" prompting laughter.
Lee Mi-joo's older sister actually made headlines for her celebrity-level beauty. In a variety show that aired last year, the members visited Lee Mi-joo's hometown, Okcheon, Chungbuk, and Lee Mi-joo's sister, who works as a dental hygienist, was revealed for the first time. Lee Mi-joo's sister, Lee Yoon-ji, revealed the qualities of the "original Okcheon goddess," surprising viewers. While her face is exactly like Lee Mi-joo's, she captured attention with a different charm. Singer DinDin said of Lee Mi-joo's sister, "She was so pretty I was shocked. When Mi-joo said she would become an entertainer, her family scoffed, but I understood why. She had a real actor vibe."
In 3rd place, W.H.I.T.E.'s "Seven years of love" is a song about the emotions and circumstances of a breakup after a seven-year relationship, and it was revealed that it was based on the story of manager Yoo Young-seok. Because of this, a behind-the-scenes story that the manager couple was on the brink of divorce at the time was added, causing shock. In 2nd place was Cool's "Ten commandments." The song, which comically deals with a man who falls in love at first sight with his friend's girlfriend, gained both popularity and controversy.
The much-anticipated No. 1 was Park Sang-min's "Farewell, my weapon." This song, which depicts a woman tired of love after five relationships who ultimately leaves the secular world, is characterized by lyrics that unfold as if speaking directly to the audience. In the lyrics, men are introduced one by one, and bold developments such as the first love who went abroad, a womanizer, a mama's boy, and a two-timer follow. When Kim Hee-chul asked, "Which of these would you meet?" Lee Mi-joo chose the unrevealed fifth, but upon hearing the ending where the ex-girlfriend appears at the wedding, she flew into a rage, taking off her jacket. She then grabbed the hair of a staff member who came on to reattach the fallen microphone, showing an explosive reaction that turned the venue into laughter.
