Hyung-joo Yun vs. Young-im Kim, unexpected victory battle
The 592nd episode of KBS 2TV's 'Immortal Songs', which will air today (4th), will be featured as a special feature '2023 Oh My Star', with Sunye & Jo Kwon, Hong Jin-young & Park Gwang-seon, Lee Bo-ram & HYNN (Park Hye-won), Jeong Sun-ah & Min Woo-hyuk, Nam Sang-il & Shin Seung-tae. A total of 10 teams will appear, including Wan-gyu Park & Seong Yoon, Jo-han Kim & UV, Hyeong-ju Yoon & Glass Box, Young-im Kim & Ji-eun Yang, and Ho-jung Kim & Espero.
In the talk waiting room, ‘Folk Godfather’ Hyeong-Ju Yun and ‘Godmother of Korean Traditional Music’ Kim Young-Im are present, giving ‘Respect Talks’ to juniors.
Glass Box called Hyungju Yoon a “legend in the folk world,” adding, “He is the person who led the acoustic guitar and jeans culture. He expresses his respect by saying, “It’s a textbook for those of us who do folk music.” Yang Ji-eun said of Kim Young-im, “You are the godmother of the Korean traditional music world,” adding, “In the Korean traditional music world, you can’t be considered a traditional Korean musician if you don’t know the teacher. “You can’t discuss Korean traditional music without mentioning the teacher,” he says, giving a thumbs up. At the same time, it is said that he first encountered Korean traditional music while listening to a collection of folk songs by master singer Kim Young-im in the fourth grade of elementary school, attracting attention.
In response to Kim Young-im's question, "Are you expecting to win?" Hyung-ju Yoon responded, "I came out to enjoy today," but the testimony in the glass box was different. Yuri Box said, “You say this, but you say, ‘But don’t we have to be first?’” and “He says things differently when the cameras are rolling and when they are not,” making people laugh.
When the topic of winning came up, Kim Young-im also said, "Because I'm older, I guess I'll have less time to stand on stage in the future than my juniors." He expressed his greed by saying, "Shouldn't I still look forward to today's victory?" A fierce battle of nerves unfolded among the seniors toward the trophy. Rumor has it that they lost.
MC Lee Chan-won, who heard this, said, “I was expecting a warm atmosphere because there were seniors today, but the two of them were very angry,” and the atmosphere in the talk waiting room was said to be heated.
This special feature is based on the concept of star seniors who have gone before and juniors who are following in their footsteps on the same stage, and it is expected to be a refreshing stimulus for seniors and a dream-like honor for juniors. 'Oh My Star' is a special feature that was first planned in 2021 and received great love, and will be featured for the third time this year following 2022.
While expectations are rising to see what kind of stage the seniors and juniors of the 10 teams will perform, fans are also paying attention to which team will receive the honor of winning the final championship with the support of many famous song judges.
This '2023 Oh My Star' special is scheduled to be broadcast over two weeks, starting today (the 4th) and ending on the 11th (Saturday).
