Lee Chi-hyun sheds tears over his wife's handwritten letter
In the 6th episode of MBN's 'Fire Band', which will be broadcast on the 14th, six 'legend band' teams (Love and Peace, Jeon In-kwon Band, Lee Chi-hyun and Friends, Five Fingers, Resurrection, and Kim Jong-seo Band), excluding the previously eliminated Kwon In-ha Band, will compete in the 4th round mission. The appearance of entering the 'Special Thanks To' stage is revealed.
In particular, Lee Chi-hyun and his friends were on the verge of elimination in the 3rd round after being in cumulative last place in the 1st and 2nd rounds, but they miraculously soared and took 6th place, the protagonists of 'Knight's Reincarnation'. Lee Chi-hyun, who continues to be with the ‘Fire Band’ after a thrilling comeback, said, “I’ve hit rock bottom and there’s nowhere else to go. “There will be no choice but to go up,” he said, showing that he gritted his teeth even more and prepared for the stage.
The 'Special Thanks To' contest song they chose afterwards was their mega hit song 'Only You'. Regarding this, Lee Chi-hyun said, "It is a song expressing my gratitude to my wife," and "(I) was half unknown in the early 80s. “It was a difficult time because it was a time when half of the people were little known,” he remembers. He said, “It was (my wife’s) birthday, and I only had 5,000 won in my pocket. “I was taking a walk at Donghaksa Temple, and there was a person who made induhwa, so I wrote it as a gift (for my wife’s birthday) and then set it to music,” he says, revealing the story behind the creation of the song.
Finally, the 2023 version of 'Only You' begins, and Lee Chi-hyun captivates the audience with a song that exudes her unique soft charm. While Cheon Sang-yong's spectacular tambourine performance also captured attention, photos of Lee Chi-hyun and his wife from their dating days were displayed on the screen behind the stage, making it even more touching.
After finishing the stage, Lee Chi-hyun sheds hot tears at MC Bae Seong-jae's surprise remarks. When Bae Seong-jae reads the handwritten letter his wife sent him for him, saying, “I think my wife had something to tell Lee Chi-hyeon,” he ended up bursting into tears. Lee Chi-hyeon tries to hold back her tears, but she cannot control them, and the entire audience becomes a sea of tears. While attention is focused on Lee Chi-hyun's bitter tears saying, "I'm sorry for making you go through so much trouble," and the 2023 version of "Only You" by Lee Chi-hyun and her friends, the 4th round mission "Special Thanks To" is given to someone who is grateful. ' The stage can be seen in episode 6 of MBN's 'Firework Band', which airs at 10:20 pm on the 14th.
