On the upcoming episode, airing on the 15th, 'Immortal Songs' will showcase the 'Artist Baby V.O.X Special'. EXID, who last performed together on KBS's 'Open Concert' in June 2019, are reuniting as a complete group after nearly six years, receiving a warm welcome from fans.
During the show, EXID shared humorous behind-the-scenes stories about their reunion, admitting, "It wasn't smooth sailing. Our memories have faded, and we kept getting tired. We had to rest for five minutes after each practice," drawing laughter from the audience.
Meanwhile, MC Lee Chan-won, a self-proclaimed huge fan of EXID, couldn't hide his excitement. When fellow MC Kim Jun-hyun mentioned his fondness for Baby V.O.X during his military service, Lee Chan-won chimed in, "For us, it was EXID," and confessed, "The two teams I admire and love the most are EXID and Kim Yeon-ja," capturing everyone's attention.
Kim Jun-hyun was surprised by Lee Chan-won's changed demeanor throughout the recording, exclaiming, "I've never seen someone host with such personal feelings before." Lee Chan-won then revealed, "I found out about EXID's appearance 3-4 days ago, and since then, I've been on a one-meal-a-day diet," causing a stir in the waiting room.
When asked which EXID member he is a fan of, Lee Chan-won appeared flustered and admitted, "I'm really going crazy today," showing his nervousness. Reports indicate that he was visibly sweating and blushing, showcasing his admiration for EXID.
Lee Chan-won expressed his hopes for EXID's victory, saying, "I hope you win today and return for the semi-annual championship," which drew playful jeers from other participants. A key point of interest is whether Solji, a regular on 'Immortal Songs', can secure her first win with EXID.
Additionally, the special episode will feature Baby V.O.X, a first-generation girl group that debuted in 1997 and produced numerous hits until the mid-2000s. After reuniting for the 'KBS Song Festival Global Festival' last December, Baby V.O.X will appear as the featured artists on 'Immortal Songs'. Stephanie, Yuk Joong-wan Band, EXID, ONEWE, and Jung Seung-won will reinterpret Baby V.O.X's classic hits in their unique styles. EXID's return as a complete group after six years is generating significant excitement.
The episode airs at 6:05 PM.
