On the October 10th episode of KBS Joy's '20th Century Hit Song' airing at 8:30 PM, the show will feature 'The Renaissance of K-pop! The 5 Great Composers of the 90s Hit Songs'.

This episode will introduce composer Joo Young-hoon, who named Uhm Jung-hwa's 'Festival' as his most successful song. Known for its subtitle 'Life is Beautiful', this upbeat and lively melody became a beloved hit, selling over 500,000 copies and generating over 10 billion won in revenue through various commercials and events.

When Lee Mi-joo expressed curiosity about why 'Festival' was considered a successful song, Heechul humorously responded, "Don't you know? Can't you guess what composer Joo Young-hoon was thinking?" adding a touch of humor.

'Festival' remains a beloved classic, frequently used during election seasons, and has been a significant source of income, even aiding in raising children, according to shared anecdotes.

Additionally, Joo Young-hoon's favorite song, Rumors' 'Storm', will be revealed. This track gained immense popularity in nightclubs with its addictive EDM sound. Heechul expressed nostalgia, saying, "I heard this song more in dance halls than on TV," and introduced it as the "national anthem of nightclubs," bringing laughter.

Joo Young-hoon did not anticipate the success of 'Storm', but it gained popularity through word of mouth, known as 'Gilboard', making it even more special. It was also revealed that he personally named the song and the group 'Rumors', showing his deep affection.
