Today's legend is someone who goes well with
this harsh winter cold.
With honest lyrics and lyrical melodies,

Before we officially start...
(Before starting!) Please give Heejun a round of
(Moon Heejun will be marrying Soyul of Crayon Pop...)
(13-year age difference)
Why? (Moon Heejun and Soyul will marry in February)
(They have been dating since April)
Just let it go.
Our Heejun is getting married.
(Congratulations!) The first group to go up!
I feel abashed.
Why would you take such a difficult path in life?
It's such a hard way to live.
I want to go that route because
I found someone I wanted
to spend the rest of my life with.
(Oh my)
This is something to envy.
A lot of people on entertainment shows
who are married say they don't want to go home
or that they want to have work dinners.
I will show you the opposite of that.
That's ridiculous.
Then, let's look forward to him doing that.
- Congratulations. / - Thank you.
Let's bring this to an end with a song.
Everybody, one!
(Everyone! Congratulations)
She'll be my wife and I'm older than you.
I'm sorry. (Groom-to-be with infinite love to give)
First up is a group who is appearing on our show
with all its members present for the first time.
Double S 301.
(All members present! Double S 301) Actually,
Youngsaeng was on the show four years ago,
but it's the first time you're all here together.
Since we're a dance group and an idol group,
when we put on shows, they were performance based.
But through Immortal Songs, we wanted to show off
our singing skills a bit more, so we practiced a lot.
Youngsaeng is the lead vocalist,
so who's second and third in line?
I am, since I'm a baritone singer.
You were a vocal major?
No, I didn't but
I tend to sing all the low parts.
You can check if he's really a baritone or not, right?
(All vocal majors)
I shouldn't have said that.
- He's a pro. / - He might not be a baritone.
Will you check?
(Real baritone)
(Idol baritone)
How is it?
(It's good)
He's a baritone even vocalists would vouch for.
I've waited years to show you on Immortal Songs.
Double S 301, we'll be looking
forward to your performance.
Thank you.
Amazing singing duo HOMME is with us today.
You always lost when on the verge of winning.
Before recording, I heard that
Changmin's voice was a bit off
Lee Hyun made the rearrangement very difficult
so they could win.
I've been a musician for 12 years now and
for this song, I have to give all I've ever
learned in all those years.
Really.
His singing shines bright even without a reflector.
Kim Hyunsung is here today.
Whenever we invite Kim Hyunsung to the show,
they first thing we talk about is his foundation.
This is the third or fourth time already, and
unfortunately, he's sitting next to very radiant men.
Youngsaeng's complexion is especially radiant,
which makes you look dark in comparison.
All three of them seem to be glowing.
(I'm jealous) I actually wore a red jacket today but...
But?
But because they were wearing it, I took mine off
because I'd be compared too much.
The sassy, adorable girl group
OH MY GIRL is here today!
Ready? I found her, OH MY GIRL!
Hello! We're OH MY GIRL.
Who did you feel most excited to see here?
- As for me, it's Lim Jeonghee. / - Why?
She's a singer I've always wanted to meet,
though I've wanted to meet everyone here...
You have to think before you speak because
sitting next to her is Yeonji.
Yeonji puts on such great shows.
This is why we have so many members.
(How adorable)
Yeonji is someone I've really, really wanted to meet.
(Thank you)
(AlphaGo of right thing to say)
OH MY GIRL is very cute. I like them.
(Found OH MY GIRL's charms) She's at it again.
Whenever we have girl groups on, Jeonghee
always tries to one-up them.
Especially when a girl group does an impression.
(Impression stealer) I'll do a crow impression.
(Caw caw)
(Caw! Caw!)
You are the one with the best crow impression!
Do any of you have a special talent to show off?
I can beatbox and combine it with a rooster sound.
- Wow. Nice. / - Let's hear it.
(Starts with adorable beatboxing)
(Finished with rooster sound!)
Wow, I really liked that.
Did you really?
What? What was wrong with it?
Let's see if she can do it.
Can Jeonghee beatbox and finish with a rooster sound?
It's possible if you can beatbox and
you can make a rooster sound.
You can do it. Give us that look.
(Worried) Oh, that's nice.
(Gives up on the beatboxing)
(I will just win)
(With the chicken sound)
This is how it's done!
See? This is what I wanted to see.
You have to do this motion.
(Typical Jeonghee)
The first up.
I'd say that this singer is a favorite of many women.
A singer women love.
We'll be back.
(HOMME thinks it's them)
I think you can sit back down.
A lot of women who aspire to be singers adore her.
I think that's because she's the favorite singer
of many younger singers.
Immortal Songs' sentimental diva, Lim Jeonghee.
(Number 1 - Lim Jeonghee)
Lim Jeonghee!
She leaves us with a rooster crow
and heads to the stage.
I can't believe this.
The last time I was on, I was first up too.
I was hoping I wouldn't be today.
Then, OH MY GIRL and Lim Jeonghee's score is 1:0
and when Jeonghee returns,
she'll really battle it out with them.
Let's go, Jeonghee!
What will you be singing today?
Today, I'll be singing "Recollection" by Kim Seongho.
In the original, he sings the song with a single guitar
reminiscing about a young love
on a spring day.
But the emotion I'll be tapping into is different.
It's a cold and lonely season,
and though winter's enchanting,
it feels like I'm the only one who's lonely,
reflecting upon a love that broke my heart.
That's the feeling I'll be singing with.

Jeonghee!
(We love you, Jeonghee)
- Wow! / - That was great, right?
It's the best performance Jeonghee's ever put on.
It was crazy. I thought he was going to run out there.
It was so good.
Before, Jeonghee used a wide array of techniques,
but today, she sang with honesty to aim for victory.
I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
From Jeonghee's calm start to the end when
she stopped exhaling, I was enthralled completely.
We were all completely out of it.
She started with such gravity
and carried that through to the end.
It's not easy to end it on such a fantastic note.
I saw how she exhaled when the song was over,
and it was like when Kim Yuna overcomes
pressures and exhales deeply in victory.
That's the expression I saw.
(Fantastic ending!)
(Similar moment of relief!)
I'll now select the singer who'll go against Jeonghee.
Dongyeop is drawing for the second performance.
OH MY GIRL looks like they don't want to be picked,
but that's when they're most likely to go.
People say seeing her perform is much like
watching a sad movie.
She has a voice that's heart-wrenching.
With deeply appealing, powerful singing skills,
she brings tears to listeners' eyes.
It's Kim Yeonji.
(Number 2 - Kim Yeonji)
I heard our agency ordered her not to sing.
My studio is next to hers.
- And she wouldn't stop singing. / - Really?
She was singing all day today too.
As her friend, I held myself back, not saying a word.
She's completely ready. (Always ready to go)
She's been singing all day.
Let's go, Kim Yeonji!
I'm singing "Have You Ever had Coffee with an Angel?"
I chose to sing the song because it's so pretty.
I hope you enjoy it.
("Have You Ever had Coffee with an Angel?" / 1994)
(Included in Kim Seongho's third album)
(Poetic lyrics that describe a lover as an angel)
(Lyrical melody which when sung by Kim Seongho)
(Made it even better)
(Gained popularity upon release)
(Song that is still played during cold weather)
(On the radio often even today)
The second performance is by Kim Yeonji.
When I first heard this song,
I felt I'd be really happy if someone
would sing this song with this kind of sentiment.
I'll be singing "Have You Ever
had Coffee with an Angel?"
It's a very pretty song, so I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you.

("Have You Ever had Coffee with an Angel?")
(By beautifully hardworking singer Kim Yeonji)
Angel.
A lot of Kim Seongho's songs are like instrumentals,
so they're very hard to sing,
but Kim Yeonji is even good at such songs.
Have you ever had coffee with an angel?
That was eery because
I was just about to ask you that.
(Heejun's angel...)
He's not as talkative as before with such zingers,
which makes me so happy.
So this is the entertainment show industry, huh?
Why? I don't want to joke about her.
Changmin, what did you think?
(Flustered after laughing) You're asking me first?
You came into view.
We're on the same plane but my lips stick out.
The song is very difficult to sing because
the start is tough, there's no time to breathe,
and in the middle, there's no background music,
so the song makes you focus solely on the singing.
I wondered if she'd be able to pull it off but
she's indeed a great singer.
Who do you think will win?
But I think Jeonghee's song sung with gravity will win.
I've seen Yeonji perform a lot,
and she usually sings plaintive, sad songs,
but today, I love that she smiled onstage and
sang as if she was telling a story.
I felt like an angel was telling me a story,
so I think Yeonji has a great chance of winning
(Lim Jeonghee vs Kim Yeonji)
Lim Jeonghee's "Recollection"
is one of the best of the best.
Did you used to meet a wide variety of women back then?
Pardon? (Flustered)
Because I'm sure you were
popular with the ladies as you are now.
Not at all.
Everyone has a vague idea of how they want to love,
and so I wrote from my imagination.
Songwriters always say they write songs
with their imagination.
It truly is impressive.
What did you think of Jeonghee's performance?
Usually, men sang the songs I wrote,
and when I heard female singers chose them,
I thought it'd be hard to do,
but they sang them so beautifully that I nearly cried.
Thank you.
What about "Have You Ever had Coffee with an Angel?"
which Kim Yeonji sang?
She actually said how I came to wrote this song.
I wrote the song hoping women would want
this song to be written for them
by men who have crushes on them.
Oh, like that.
Yes, that is the feeling I wanted to put into the song.
Both Jeonghee and Yeonji are
strong candidates to win each time
and they went up against each other.
I wonder how the audience voted.
Let's see their results.
(Lim Jeonghee vs Kim Yeonji)
(Best performance with perfect control)
The first match is between the Immortal Songs' divas.
Will Jeonghee get the first win?
(Gave her all from start to finish)
She's a hardworking singer.
Will Kim Yeonji beat Lim Jeonghee to take the win?
Who will win?
(Audience chose Kim Yeonji with 362)
Kim Yeonji with 362.
Please give them another round of applause.
I can't believe it.
Wow. How did this happen?
Wow.
I'll draw for the third performance.
Who should be third?
Will it be the vibrant OH MY GIRL?
(Vibrant HOMME?)
Not only does he
sing like there's no tomorrow, but he also
dances regardless of what people say.
(Singer with own philosophy on dancing)
Passionate singer Kim Hyunsung.
(Number 3 - Kim Hyunsung)
A singer who always gives his all, Kim Hyunsung.
Will he look more radiant if he wins three times?
Let's go, Kim Hyunsung!
(Let's go, dark star Hyunsung)
Today, I'll be singing
Park Sungshin's "Just One More Time."
I wanted to sing the song completely in my style
so I thought a lot about it.
The arrangement is dreamlike,
so the older audience can sway dancing to it.
That's what I think.
I hope you enjoy the performance.
Let's go!
("Just One More Time" / 1989)
(Title track of the late Park Sungshin's first album)
(Topped many different music charts at the time)
(Park won many awards from different award shows)
(With plaintive lyrics, latin and rock rhythms)
(The song was of the dance-pop genre)
(The song made Kim Seongho's sophisticated composition)
(Skills stand out)
The third performance is by Kim Hyunsung.
Hello! It's great to see you.
The concept I thought of for this song is sappy and
quite laid-back, so that's how the performance will be.
So I hope you just sit back and enjoy it.

("Just One More Time" by Kim Hyunsung)
Thank you.
(Performance that won hearts of the girls)
Hyunsung seemed very masterful and led the performance.
He seemed very laid-back.
His voice is so unique.
Usually, he sings sad songs with high-hitting notes.
That's what his usual genre is,
but today, his song was more like soul music.
That was how his song felt.
Youngsaeng, what'd you think of Hyunsung's performance?
I've always sung a lot his songs at karaoke.
I see.
And I've been told a lot that we sound alike.
I feel like your voice would go well with his songs.
Will you sing us one of his songs
in a style that is like an impersonation?
♪ You're my all, my destiny ♪
♪ We can't break up ♪
(Higher pitch on end note is a trait of Hyunsung)
♪ We can't break up ♪
Your voice does sound a bit like his.
- Soprano. / - He impersonates Kim Kyungho well.
(News: Youngsaeng says he's better at)
(Impersonating Kyungho)
Show us. It's been a while.
♪ Promise me ♪
♪ Staring at each other ♪
♪ In the future ♪
♪ Let's leave together ♪
(Standing ovation)
Gyunseong isn't the original impersonator
of Kyungho...
Youngsaeng is the original.
Konnichiwa... (Must stamp and seal it)
Yes, that's the same one.
(Who's the original? All suspicions removed)
(Kim Hyunsung vs Kim Yeonji with 362)
The song "Just One More Time"
was hugely famous upon release.
I remember this song was greatly popular.
Also, many singers including Lee Seunggi,
Maya, Naul, and many other singers did remakes of it.
Who's remake did you personally like best?
I think everyone's was wonderful,
but I personally liked Naul's best.
(R&B remake by Naul) I think I liked that version best.
Kim Hyunsung expressed the song in a whole
different tone to present to us. What'd you think?
Originally, the song was sung sadly but calmly.
Today, Hyunsung added his unique style
and sang it plaintively, giving it a different feeling.
The lyrics felt completely different
and I realized how sad the lyrics really were today.
I truly enjoyed it. Thank you.
(Great performance) Thank you.
I really liked your dancing before.
(Wriggle, wriggle)
(A for effort despite his two left feet)
Were you hurt by people's responses?
I loved it. Why haven't you danced since?
You must not remember what you told me.
What?
You said I was one of the top three
worst dancers on the show.
That's why I want to see it again.
Precisely why.
(Put on a dance performance for us)
I hope one day you'll surprise us
with a flashy dance performance.
I wonder how the audience voted.
Please show us the results.
Two vocalists with clean-cut images compete.
Will Yeonji get her second win with 362?
(Kim Yeonji for a second win)
(Song she sang with desire to be loved that way)
(Beautiful singer who works very hard)
(Sentimental ballad singer Kim Yeonji)
Will Hyunsung's glamorous performance beat
Kim Yeonji, letting him take his first win?

(Unforgettable performance)

Kim Yeonji! Amazing.
(Kim Yeonji gets second win in a row)
Give them a big round of applause.
Unbelievable.
How could this happen?
I'll draw for the fourth performance.
A lot of people are really into them these days.
It's OH MY GIRL.
(Energetic, adorable OH MY GIRL?)
They are not just pleasing to the ears but eyes too.
The seven-member girl group
who have won men's hearts, OH MY GIRL.
(Number 4 - OH MY GIRL)
(Time to make men swoon!)
Let's go, OH MY GIRL!

Immortal Songs viewers! Two, three!
I found her, OH MY GIRL!
Hello! We're OH MY GIRL.
(Bursting with energy and youth)
(Good at singing and dancing)
(Girls you'll fall for are here!)
Coming on this show was on our bucket list.
We're happy our wish has come true today.
What will you be singing?
Five Fingers' song "Balloons."
It's a song about dreams and hopes.
When you hear it, you return to your childhood.
It says only good things will happen in the future.
That's the message it gives, so...
Since everyone's watching with your family at home,
you can listen and take a walk down memory lane.
We hope you enjoy the song alongside us.
OH MY GIRL! Let's go!
("Balloons" / 1986)
(Huge hit included in Five Fingers' second album)
(With its innocent melody and fairytale-like lyrics)
(Song became a huge sensation)
(In 2006, TVXQ remade the song and it got lots of love)
(Making a song that was loved across all generations)
The fourth performance is by OH MY GIRL.
Two, three! I found her, OH MY GIRL!
Hello! We're OH MY GIRL!
Please give us lots of love! Thank you.

Thank you.
- Thank you. / - Thank you.
(We lit it up...)
(I was so nervous)
It was so exciting.
We were nervous but it was fun, right?
- So much fun. / - Yeah.
(The men hit the jackpot today!)
OH MY GIRL's performance
was even better than I imagined.
I thought Seunghee was just good
with words, but she's good at singing too.
They were so lovable.
Changmin, do you think they'll get lots of votes?
I think so.
And what I felt was that
girl groups instinctively look at the camera directly.
They kept doing that, so as viewers,
we think they're looking at us.
Especially with Changmin.
They kept looking at me.
They even winked at me.
Why are you blushing?
Maybe there will be another couple on this show.
(Will it be these two?)
- Following in Heejun's footsteps. / - Stop it! (Shy)
Changmin following in Heejun's footsteps.
I've always wanted to be just like you.
I love how quiet Heejun is today.
I can't believe I'm witnessing
Heejun quiet and blushing.
Double S 301, what did you think?
Youngsaeng?
What did you think of the performance?
It was one sad performance after another,
so this may change things up.
This song has a lot of power.
It's one many know and they love it because
they begin to reminisce,
and the reminiscing becomes a great catalyst for votes.
Is your dream to become a DJ?
You talk smoothly like one.
You're quite good.
(That's so old-school)
You're showing you're old too.
You just did that.
That's what Byeon Gisu did.
That was Byeon Gisu's move.
He's not even on anymore.
(OH MY GIRL vs Kim Yeonji with 362)
You wrote this song too, I see.
I was surprised to find out.
How did you come to write this song?
Lee Duheon of Five Fingers,
the leader and songwriter of the band,
was a friend of mine from high school.
I taught him to play the guitar.
Through that, we became friends and he asked me to
write the song, so I did.
Duheon's good at writing lyrics,
so my composition got recognition.
You're being so modest.
How'd you enjoy OH MY GIRL's performance?
To be honest, this is my first time seeing
an idol girl group in person.
They're so energetic and adorable
and seem really kind.
Thank you.
You sang "Balloons" and danced well to it. Thank you.
- They seem really kind, right? / - Yes.
They can seem so from afar.
Just kidding.
How does it feel to be on Immortal Songs?
Is it a lot of pressure to perform onstage?
A lot of audience members cheered us on
with such sweet gazes,
so we felt like we wanted to
do this sort of performance again.
How did the audience vote?
Show us the results.
(Out with flashiness and in with innocent singing!)
Kim Yeonji beat Jeonghee and Hyunsung.
Will she beat OH MY GIRL and get a third win?
(Childhood feelings of innocent girls)
OH MY GIRL showed off their singing and dancing skills.
Will they be able to win?
(Who'll be cast with the winning light?)
(OH MY GIRL vs Kim Yeonji with 362)
(Audience chose Kim Yeonji with 362)
Kim Yeonji!
(Sweeping up three wins in a row!)
(Exiting stage)
Wow.
(Younger singers intensely congratulating her)
Congratulations.
It must be Yeonji's day today.
She practiced hard. You reap what you sow.
With 362, she gets her third win.
Don't despair!
OH MY GIRL will come back!
(Good news! OH MY GIRL will come back!)
(We'll be right there)
I'll select the fifth performance.
Who will the fifth performance be by?
They are great singers with rich voices.
It's HOMME.
They're amazing.
- It's not HOMME? / - Contempo Divo.
Skilled cross-over group Contempo Divo.
(Number 5 - Contempo Divo)
Contempo Divo.
Contempo Divo.
Which member has a banner of his own in his hometown?
After being on Immortal Songs, my mother called.
She complimented me for the first time ever in my life.
What did your mom say?
She cried at first.
So many people in the town talked about me that
when I went to my town,
there was a banner that said "Son of Jinju."
She must've been so proud.
Son of Jinju.
The group with powerful pipes.
Contempo Divo! Let's go!
Double S 401 and Kim Hyunsung are back.
Have a seat.
You look like you're a part of their group.
(Red jacket from before...)
Double S 401, it's been a while.
It's been a while since all four of us have been here.
Youngsaeng, how do you feel?
Hyunsung's gotten good.
He's good at improv now.
Youngsaeng showed us a great impression.
Hyungjun, can you do an impression?
Me?
He's like a vending machine. You get what you want.
Really?
I pressed it. Impression, please.
Do you know how I got these bullet wounds in my chest?
Do you know, Your Honor?
(Lee Jeongjae from "Assassination"!) Wow!
Any more?
I'm a huge fan of Ha Donggyun.
- Go. / - What'll he do?
♪ Butterfly ♪
That sounds like Jeongjae.
Your Honor.
There are two butterflies here.
♪ Butterfly ♪
You have to go like this.
♪ Your Honor, did you see the two, three butterflies? ♪
There we go.
Your Honor!
OH MY GIRL is back.
Great job.
You did so well.
Did you know this song before?
(Did they know "Balloons" by Five Fingers?) Yes.
You know the song because TVXQ remade it, right?
Yes.
You were in school when they were popular.
Yes, elementary school.
Then, during my time, you weren't even born?
I saw you in pictures.
Not like that...
She said it as if we're in history books.
You saw pictures of us?
This old man...
Had red hair.
Heejun is like a dinosaur.
He can only be seen in pictures.
(Dizzy)
We're the classical crossover group, Contempo Divo.
- It's great to see you. / - It's great to see you.
(Moving harmony of five men)
(Classical crossover ensemble Contempo Divo)
What will you be singing?
We chose to sing Park Junha's "When I First Met You."
It's a song about how sweet first love is.
We'll express it in our own style.
We hope to make your hearts ache through the song.
("When I First Met You" / 1991)
(Song Included in 1991 drama soundtrack)
(Of MBC's "Mudong's House" which starred)
(The late Kim Musaeng and Choi Minsu)
(In 1992, it was included in Park Junha's first album)
(Topped many charts at the time)
(Park Junha became a household name thanks to the song)

Thank you.
(Moved)
Park Junha's "When I First Met You."
It's been a while since I heard it.
OH MY GIRL talked about songs they heard as a kid.
I, too, heard this song...
It was a huge hit during the Joseon dynasty.
It was number one on the Hanyang Charts.
Seorabeol Charts!
You listened to it on your way to the village school.
Jeonghee, you know this song too, right?
After hearing it...
Don't deny it!
The melody seemed really familiar.
You were singing along to it!
(Feeling guilty)
Will Contempo Divo win with this song?
Kim Yeonji is going for the trophy
and her third win in a row.
I lost to Yeonji, you know.
- So you want Contempo to win? / - Yes, as revenge.
Yes, she needs her revenge.
(Contempo Divo vs Kim Yeonji with 362)
Every middle-aged Korean must remember this song.
In 1991, it was a huge hit upon release with
the soundtrack of "Mudong's House," a drama.
Then, it got more love when Park Junha
added it to his first album.
This is the song.
Contempo Divo's harmony was excellent.
What did you think?
They were amazing.
It was great.
Hearing my song with harmony like that
and sung so powerfully
is so completely different.
It felt like it was a whole new song.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I wonder how the audience voted.
Show us the results.
(Checking results)
Will Yeonji with 362 get her fourth win?
(Perfect harmony of Contempo Divo)
It's Contempo Divo's second time on
Immortal Songs.
Can't let her get her fourth win!
Will they be able to stop her? Who will win?
(Who did the audience choose?)
(Audience chose Kim Yeonji with 362)
Kim Yeonji! Amazing!
Congratulate her.
With 362, Kim Yeonji gets her fourth win.
I will now select the sixth
and the seventh performances.
Many have waited for them.
Singing abilities. Great performances.
Right.
(Stands!)
No, it's not you.
(Calm down)
And they're still as handsome as ever.
(That's us!)
The three heartthrobs of Korea are
back together again.
Double S 301.
(Number 6 - Double S 301)
Sit.
(Number 7 - HOMME)
Immortal Songs audience.
Hello! We're Double S 301.
(Heo Youngsaeng wrote and composed this song!)
(Double S 301 returns with "REMOVE")
(What will you sing?)
We'll be singing "I'm Fine."
It's a song that's giving us a lot of strength.
We'll be 31 next year and
it's a song for looking back on our 20s and reflecting.
It's a song to give us strength.
That's why it's meaningful for us
to sing it together.
I think it's a song that can be a source
of strength to everyone in Korea.

Thank you. ("I'm Fine" by Double S 301)
Double S 301. (So cool)
Wow... That was "I'm Fine."
It's a song that consoles you saying you're fine.
It was moving since they were consoling us.
I worried when they said they'd have a chorus of 66
because they could be drowned out.
Not all, but one or two at least.
But I didn't have to worry at all.
They came through.
Lee Hyun, what'd you think?
The performance with a 66-member choir.
Why do you look pouty?
Our mouths are always like this.
I'm not pouting.
It's just your imagination.
Well, "I'm Fine" is a song that's very moving.
The sentiment was well-delivered.
I'm just worried that we're up next.
(Double S 301 vs Kim Yeonji with 362)
What did you think of Double S 301's performance?
When they were singing with the chorus backing
them up, I got chills.
At the time, we lacked the funds,
so we had four group members to sound like a chorus.
But today, you had dozens.
It was really amazing. Whose idea was it?
Yeah.
Our agency CEO.
The solo parts were amazing. I enjoyed it a lot.
I'm sure many of you know
Kim Kyungho impersonations are a big hit these days.
Kwon Hyeoksoo's doing commercials with that
and is getting love on different variety shows too.
But did you know that Kyungho chose
Youngsaeng's impersonation of himself as his favorite?
As long as we're on the subject, shall we hear it?
Kwon Hyeoksoo's so good at it, though.
I'll copy him at the last note but I'll do my
impersonation of Kyungho.
What Hyeoksoo does and what you do.
- Yes, I'll do them together. / - Okay.
(Excited)
♪ Promise me ♪
♪ Staring at each other ♪
♪ In the future ♪
♪ Let's leave together ♪
(Embarrassed)
I now understand why Kyungho
thinks you do his impersonation best.
Thank you.
It's easy to tell.
You're a far better singer than Hyeoksoo.
Wonderful.
Kim Yeonji has four straight wins
and she's a strong contender for the trophy.
If she continues to win, she may be the final winner.
Or will Double S 301 stop her in her tracks?
Please show us the audience results.

392. Congratulations.

What was funny was as soon as
392 was announced as the score,
- we were like, "You can do it." / - You're fine.
(You can do it!) Changmin.
Winning would be good,
but you know how you want to move people?
That's what we thought of while preparing this.
It'd be nice if we won too but we want to move the
audience and sing a therapeutic song for them.
I already feel moved.
The final performance is by HOMME. It's been a while.
You just need to win once.
Let's go, HOMME!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Nice.
Hello! I'm Lee Hyun.
Hello! I'm Changmin.
Together, we're HOMME.
What will you be singing today?
Today, we'll be singing
"I'm Loneliness, You're Longing" by Park Youngmee.
We've always sung striving to win but
this time, we thought more about how to help
give the audience peace of mind through music.
We hope this becomes a therapeutic song
to all the fans of Kim Seongho and Immortal Songs.
And we want the same feeling ourselves while singing.
Let's go, HOMME!

("I'm Loneliness, You're Longing" by HOMME)
Wow! HOMME!
That was "I'm Loneliness, You're Longing,"
a song by Park Youngmee.
HOMME did a great job on the rearrangement.
Now I see why Changmin lost his voice.
Just Changmin alone
can fill the stage up as a solo singer,
but there were two people.
(Synergy effect) With both of them up on stage,
the pleasure and delight doubled.
It felt like a fantasy movie.
Their voices were amazing too, but I really
fell for their gaze.
The way they let the music take them over
was so cool and sexy.
I've become their fan all over again.
Double S 301's song consoled you,
whereas HOMME's song sympathized with your sadness,
so I think HOMME will win.
(Double S 301 with 392 vs HOMME)
HOMME put on a show completely reflecting their style.
What did you think?
That was completely done in their style,
and it was so amazing and fantastic.
It's on a far superior level than the song
I wrote, so I was very grateful.
That song was truly amazing.
Aside from the songs that
the singers tonight sang, you had many more hits.
Was it Kim Jiyeon?
Yes, "When the Cold Wind Blows."
♪ When the cold wind blows ♪
You wrote that song.
And Hong Soochul's song.
The song "Rose-Colored Lips."
Yes, that song too.
You've done so many other hits too.
Tell us how you felt being on Immortal Songs.
Singers singing with a set and lights this beautiful
made it feel like they weren't my songs.
I felt like I was at a huge concert as the audience.
It's so beautiful and a great honor.
Thank you to all the singers and musicians today.
Thank you.
Now that it's the last match,
you want that trophy, right?
Yes, I too am human.
Seeing is wanting, so of course we'd like the trophy,
but we have a message we definitely wanted to convey,
and if that happened,
we think the holidays will be a bit warmer.
That's our humble wish.
I see.
And you have an end-of-the-year concert?
Yes.
I hear you're matching up singles?
We sold seats to single people.
The odd numbers were men's reservations
and the even numbers were women's.
We told folks that they'd be able to feel like a couple
on Christmas and tickets already got sold out,
so we decided to hold the concert in a bigger venue
and we have a few seats left.
We'd be grateful if you hurry up and make reservations.
That's brilliant.
(Good idea) Odd numbers for men
and even numbers for women.
They had a matchmaking event in Yeouido
years back and told
single people to come and meet, but only men came out.
Right.
If this turns out well, we'll keep doing it.
Immortal Songs, singing the songs of legends!
A recollection of that winter, Kim Seongho.
Right now, Double S 301 has one win with 392,
