'The Seasons - 십센치's Sseudam Sseudam' completed a time in which stage and talk densely alternated.
On the 9th, the KBS 2TV music talk show 'The Seasons - 십센치's Sseudam Sseudam' aired with Apink, Kim Se-jeong and Jukjae, and CNBLUE appearing to bring their hit songs and honest stories to the stage.
Marking their 15th anniversary since debut, Apink began with a hit medley that continued with 'Mr. Chu' and 'NoNoNo', leading a passionate singalong from the start, and also presented a stage of 'I Know', a reinterpretation of their debut song 'Mollayo' from a contemporary perspective. When 십센치 confessed Jung Dong-hwan's fandom for Apink on behalf of 'Jeongmae and Kungchitachi', Jung Dong-hwan could not hide his excitement and showed a fan-fulfilled moment with a heart. In response, Apink recalled, 'When we appeared on Park Jae-beom's Drive, the 'MY MY' video recorded 11.1 million views and reached No. 3 on the KBS Kpop channel shorts,' and expressed gratitude for Jung Dong-hwan's piano accompaniment.
Oh Ha-young directly asked 십센치, 'You're wearing a Manchester United uniform, but I've heard you're a Tottenham fan.' In response, 십센치 mentioned his connection with Jeong Eun-ji and emphasized his affection for Apink, then cracked a joke that he would stick to his loyalty to his supporting team.
Kim Se-jeong returned to her primary stage after a long time with a performance of IU's 'To the name'. Kim Se-jeong said, 'It's a song I've sung every year like a skill test, and my voice lessons have continued, so it's changed a bit since last year,' and added, 'When I was young, I focused only on my shortcomings, so I avoided even songs I loved for fear of being hurt. Now I was able to face that song fully, and I choked up,' sharing her honest feelings.
After activities with I.O.I and Gugudan, Kim Se-jeong, now active as a solo singer and actress, spoke about winning the best actress award for Moon River and about how she came to remake Sung Si Kyung's 'The Solar System'. She then performed a dance medley of hit songs from her I.O.I and Gugudan days, unfolding past times on stage, and mentioned advice she received from Ha Jiwon that helped her acting.
Jukjae, who worked on 'The Solar System' with Kim Se-jeong, also took the stage. After getting married, Jukjae visited 'The Seasons' and expressed gratitude, saying, 'At first I thought 2026 would be warm because it was a large-scale project, but after the release of 'The Solar System' the plans were delayed, which was disappointing,' sharing an honest behind-the-scenes story. He also mentioned 십센치's unexpected charm and said, 'I wondered if this was the path I should take,' adding to the laughter.
CNBLUE, returning with their third full-length album after 11 years, said, 'It's the first time we've made eye contact and talked; it feels like meeting a celebrity,' sharing their reaction to meeting 십센치. Jung Yong-hwa recalled meeting 십센치 in a restroom during the 'Gayo Dae Festival,' and 십센치 described in detail Jung Yong-hwa washing his hair at the sink, filling the set with laughter.
When 십센치 mentioned that they debuted in the same year as CNBLUE, the two exchanged a brief back-and-forth over their debut months. 십센치 then said, 'There is something I really want to apologize for,' referring to a past music show No. 1 competition. At the time when CNBLUE's 'Was it this pretty' was recording No. 1 across all broadcasters, 십센치's 'Do you like spring??' took the top spot, an anecdote they brought up. CNBLUE retorted, 'Weren't you not appearing on broadcasts then?' and the two reenacted the ending and No. 1 announcement scenes, filling the set with laughter.
True to their reputation as a visual band, CNBLUE, who denied rumors that they call each other 'princes', were also noted for their presence on the festival stage. When 십센치 said, 'They take the audience's souls out,' Jung Yong-hwa replied, 'I don't want to send them off smiling. I hope everyone is exhausted and it's over,' revealing his philosophy about performances. The stages for 'Killer Joy', 'RACER' and '99%' followed, making the studio reminiscent of a festival site.
Meanwhile, 'The Seasons - 십센치's Sseudam Sseudam' airs every Friday at 10 p.m. on KBS 2TV.
