KBS2 'Immortal Songs' DickPunks' Kim Tae-hyun reveals behind-the-scenes of opposition to his marriage to his wife, who is 12 years younger and the daughter of chef Choi Hyun-seok, drawing attention.
Today (25th) broadcast KBS2 'Immortal Songs' (directed by Park Hyeong-geun, Kim Hyeong-seok, Choi Seung-beom / hereafter 'Immortal Songs') is the undisputed top music variety program that has continued its history for more than 700 episodes. In particular, as of the second week of Oct., Good Data Corporation released that it ranked second in the "non-drama search issue keyword" category, proving its hot topicality. Meanwhile, this 728th special is presented as part two of the 'Artist Nam Jin' episode.
On the day, DickPunks' Kim Tae-hyun draws attention by bringing up his marriage to his wife, Choi Yeon-su, which recently became a hot topic. Kim Tae-hyun, who held his wedding in Sept., nodded as if understanding when asked whether his father-in-law Choi Hyun-seok opposed the marriage to his wife, who is 12 years younger, saying, "Actually there was opposition. But I think I would have felt the same. Because there's a big age difference and she's young."
Kim Tae-hyun also raised interest by sharing the behind-the-scenes story of how he obtained permission to marry. Kim Tae-hyun said, "Around our third year of dating the marriage talk came up, but my father-in-law said, 'No. If you date longer, I'll give my permission.'" He added, "My wife helped in the marriage process. She seemed to appeal a lot that I treat her father well and that I'm doing my best," showing affection for his wife. In the end, after persistent effort, the two succeeded in getting Choi Hyun-seok's permission and were able to reach marriage.
When asked whether he had tasted Choi Hyun-seok's cooking, Kim Tae-hyun said, "He invited me to the restaurant and I ate very deliciously," expressing respect for his father-in-law. He added, "Because of the age difference he opposed it at first, but after seeing us date well for a long time and be happy, he gave his permission," and said, "I'm really happy now," radiating newlywed bliss that sparked envy among viewers, the story said.
Meanwhile, that day MCs who are dads, Kim Jun-hyun and Yang Dong-geun, reportedly embodied chef Choi Hyun-seok throughout the recording and candidly expressed a father's feelings, adding interest. Kim Jun-hyun mentioned his 10-year-old daughter this year and said, "If I hear she has a boyfriend I get angry. Even though she's young, as a father with a daughter I'm just angry," conveying the inner feelings of fathers with daughters. In response, Yang Dong-geun went a step further and struck a battle-ready pose when asked, "What would you do if your daughter brought a boyfriend?", drawing laughter, the report said.
Meanwhile, following last week, this second part is expected to feature performances by six teams in total: Yang Dong-geun, DickPunks, Kim Ki-tae, Na Tae-ju, Jeon Yu-jin, and 82MAJOR. The trot camp Kim Ki-tae, Na Tae-ju, and Jeon Yu-jin will be opposed by other-genre teams Yang Dong-geun, DickPunks, and 82MAJOR, who will clash fiercely for the single trophy. In addition, a "With you" collaboration stage featuring the special's subject Nam Jin, 11 participating acts, and even Lee Chan-won joining is previewed, drawing intense interest.
