'Immortal Songs' features Hong Seok-cheon delivering a fiery comment about his daughter's wedding.
KBS2 'Immortal Songs' (directed by Kim Hyung-seok and Choi Seung-beom, hereafter 'Immortal Songs') is indisputably the top music variety program, continuing its history for more than 700 episodes. The 749th episode, airing on the 28th, is 'Immortal Songs: 2026 entertainment industry king of singers part 1,' in which vocal monsters from the entertainment industry who have formally released albums or tracks will gather to present a variety of spectacular stages. Kim Shin-young·Cheon Dan-bi, LALAL, Moon Seyoon, the Gag Concert 'Chatflix' team, Park Joonhyung, Song Il-gook & Oh Man-seok (musical 'The Hague' team), Lee Chan-seok, Lee Hwi-jae, Cho Hye-lyeon, and Hong Seok-cheon — a total of 10 teams ranging from comedians to actors and creators — will appear, raising expectations.
Among them, Hong Seok-cheon stands out as the guest of honor. Hong Seok-cheon, who adopted his second older sister's children and raised them like his own, recently made headlines by announcing his daughter's wedding. Having completed the formal meeting between families, Hong Seok-cheon said, "My daughter was originally against marriage, so we hadn't prepared anything, but she said she had found a good match, so I met him. Even I thought he was a good match," showing warm paternal affection and bringing a heartfelt smile.
But only briefly, Hong Seok-cheon's 'top gay' identity surfaced and he added a fiery comment, saying, "I'm relieved. He's not my type," which, unlike the calm person involved, prompted others around the talk waiting room to hurriedly step in with, "What are you saying now?" to cover for him, causing uproarious laughter, according to reports.
Meanwhile, that day Hong Seok-cheon staged a passionate performance with Ailee's 'I'll show you.' Along with that, Hong Seok-cheon said, "I'm good at digging up gems, aren't I? Korea's handsome friends are all on my social media, and from among them I picked and picked and brought the four best gems today," announcing a joint performance with the "gems," which sharply raised anticipation.
In fact, after the 'I'll show you' performance, which turned the stage into a frenzy and got the panel of judges to stand up together, Hong Seok-cheon reportedly said, "The in-laws will definitely watch 'Immortal Songs,' so I'm a little worried," drawing laughs.
As he alternates between the 'warm perfect-score dad' and the 'top gay' identities to create a special stage, anticipation is rising for the broadcast of 'Immortal Songs,' which will heighten interest with Hong Seok-cheon's performance and the lineup of the 'four supreme gems' who emerged from the jewel box.
'Immortal Songs: 2026 entertainment industry king of singers' will air over two weeks from the 28th for part 1 through April 4. 'Immortal Songs,' which produces legendary videos viewers want to watch again and again, airs every Saturday at 6:05 p.m. on KBS2.
