"Immortal Songs: Singing the Songs of Legends."
To celebrate the start of a New Year with hope,
today, on "Immortal Songs"
we've prepared a show consisting of Koreans who
give us hope and who'll move us through their songs.
"2017, The New Year of Hope: We're Cheering You On"!
We're cheering for you!
We will officially start now.
("Immortal Songs" is cheering for you!)
(What do you hope for in 2017?)
For my family's good health.
I hope my eldest son gets married.
I want to get into the college of my choice.
I hope the world becomes a safe place for our children.
I hope my daughter gets in.
I hope those studying in Noryangjin pass and get jobs.
I hope I only see good things on the news in 2017.

(Enjoy "Immortal Songs" in 2017)
2017, the year of the rooster, is upon us!
Today, we've prepared a show
to bring you hope for the New Year of 2017.
Also, we have a new host on "Immortal Songs"!
He's a great singer and a great host on variety shows.
He's now back as a Hallyu star! It's Hwang Chiyeul!
- Hello. / - How long has it been now?
It's been about a year.
He gained fame after nine years as an unknown artist,
Hwang Chiyeul.
(Hence his time on stage felt so much more sincere)
(Finally, he got a chance at his dream)
(But that was just the beginning...)
(April 2015 / First time on "Immortal Songs")
(August 2015 / Named "Immortal Songs" super rookie)
(February 2016 / Became third place winner)
(In the Chinese version of "I Am a Singer")
Now, he's back as our host.
I'm sure this is a whole different feeling.
Will you tell us how you hope to do?
I've lived chasing my dreams,
and I'm where I am today because I was always hopeful.
Hard work and effort bring success.
You can become the best in your field.
Hwang Chiyeul is an icon of hope.
So please bring laughter to many people and
do a good job on "Immortal Songs," too.
(Lots of praises) I'll just follow your lead
since you two are so good.
Congratulations and welcome.
The first pair we'll introduce are
two brothers. (First team to be introduced)
Nam Gyeongeup and Nam Kyungjoo are here!
- It's great to see you. / - It's great to see you.
(First generation musical singer Nam Gyeongeup)
(Pillar for so many stars)
(Father-figure of the Korean musical field)
(Now he's even in TV dramas and movies)
(Mentor for newer actors, Nam Gyeongeup)
I did a little research on Gyeongeup and
he's been a mentor to many younger actors.
He has many famous actor mentees like
Jo Seungwu, Oh Manseok and Park Gunhyung.
I started teaching in 1983,
so I've taught around 4,000 pupils now.
- Wow. / - 4,000?
Of the pupils you've just mentioned,
will you name us just one who feels
like your own son whom you adore and care for most?
Yes, of course.
Nam Kyungjoo.
Of course he's named his brother Kyungjoo, (Bro)
who's a top musical actor now.
We look forward to your performance.
Thank you.
- Chiyeul? / - Yes?
Is it my turn now? (Clumsy)
Yes, he introduces one and you introduce one.
He's the first to climb 16 peaks of the Himalayas.
Isn't that amazing? Climbed 16 peaks.
Mountaineer, Captain Um Honggil.
And the eternal chief of "Immortal Songs,"
Hong Kyungmin.
(Great to see you)
It's great to see you.
(Heejun) The producer has another job cut out for him.
He needs to air subtitles for when Chiyeul
speaks in dialect. (He forgot to breathe...)
I did it to emphasize the focus of the comment.
Because completing the climb of 16 peaks
isn't something everyone can do.
What does that entail?
That means worldwide, I've climbed 16 mountain peaks
that are over 8,000 meters.
I was so moved by the movie of your life
that I watched it over ten times.
A line that moved me was,
"It's not me who climbs the mountain.
The mountain momentarily allows me to climb it."
- That's what you said. / - Correct.
"Immortal Songs" is a bit like one of those peaks.
You're here today because
- we momentarily allowed you to come. / - Correct.
(Flustered for the first time this year)
(Sherpa who comes to Captain Um's rescue)
I'm his Sherpa guide, so to speak, for this peak today.
- Sherpa. / - That's what that means.
He needs a Sherpa to guide his way.
They sing of hope.
Please welcome Kim Hyukgun and Park Kiyoung!
I've really respected you for a long time.
Do you remember the song "Don't Cry"?
- Do you? / - Of course.
♪ Even if years pass, I will not change ♪
(Released debut song "Don't Cry" in 2003)
(Lead vocalist of The Cross, Kim Hyukgun)
(Gained great fame with his unique, high-octave voice)
(But...)
(He got into an unfortunate accident)
(Source: SBS)
(He couldn't do anything without the help of others)
(His family was always there for him)
He was in an unfortunate accident in 2012,
but he felt that even if he gave up on all else,
he couldn't give up music,
which is why he's still doing it.
I had given up on life.
I couldn't even eat with my own hands,
let alone go to the bathroom by myself.
But once I got back into music,
I found a reason to live.
In order to be able to sing again,
I decided I must wake up, eat my meals, and live life.
I decided I'd create even better music,
which is why I'm constantly challenging myself.
(Applause for his beautiful efforts)
That was beautifully put.
His father built this machine himself for Hyukgun
with a Seoul National University professor.
My voice was too quiet for me to sing loudly.
He told me to talk louder and
pressed down on my stomach with two hands
and suddenly, I was able to speak loudly.
From then on, my father studied
technology to press my stomach.
When your parents saw your dress rehearsal,
what did they say? I'm curious.
They said I needed to sing better.
They're very objective. They are.
Father, I'll do better.
I'll draw for the first performer.
Usually, first-timers get picked to go first.
Which one will it be?
- All of them are first-timers. / - Who'll be up?
I guess it won't be me since it's not my first time.
It's your first time as a host.
You may as it's your first time as host.
This is very interesting. (Speechless)
(No way...)
(Is it me?)
After nine years as an unknown singer, "Immortal Songs"
became his gateway and he rose to stardom.
"Immortal Songs" superstar Hwang Chiyeul.
(Number 1 - Hwang Chiyeul)
(Excited) Since it's been a year,
I'll give it my all as I did before.
- Let's go, Hwang Chiyeul! / - Let's go!
- Let's go! / - Let's go!
I'll be a great opening act for the show.
- Great. / - Good opening act.
Hello. It's been a long time.
I'm singer Hwang Chiyeul.
(April 2015, his first appearance on "Immortal Songs")
(Awkward, nervous) Hello.
I'm Hwang Chiyeul, who debuted nine years ago.
(Powerhouse vocalist)
(Great dancing and performance)
(He was named "Immortal Songs" super rookie right away)
He's returned as
the Hallyu prince of China in eight months.
He was the only foreigner on the show
but got first place without a hitch.
(Superstar Hwang Chiyeul)
I went to China and embarked on a new journey.
The reason why I was asked to join the cast of
the Chinese "I Am A Singer" was because
they saw a video of me singing on this show.
I'm grateful to "Immortal Songs" and I owe a lot
to this program. I'll be singing Jung Sura's "Joy."
("Joy" / 1988)
(Hit song and title track of Jung Sura's sixth album)
(It had Jung Sura's powerful singing voice coupled)
(With the hopeful lyrics of an exciting dance song)
(Koyote, PSY, and many others did remakes)
(Making the song popular time and again)
(Considered a well-loved song)
(That Koreans love to sing at karaoke)
The first performance is by Hwang Chiyeul.
Hello.
I'm the new "Immortal Songs" host, Hwang Chiyeul.
Despite the long years as an unknown singer,
I worked hard, never losing hope, and that's how
my dream became reality. I'm standing here before you
today only because of all the fans who've
supported and loved me despite my shortcomings.
I have prepared this song to share that
I always want to be by your side too.
I'll be singing "Joy" by Jung Sura.
I hope your 2017 is filled with joy. Thank you.

Thank you.
(Superstar Hwang Chiyeul is back!)
That's our Hwang Chiyeul!
A face and voice we've long missed.
He's become more skilled.
Kyungmin, what did you think?
There's one thing that really impressed me
- the most in his performance. / - Which is?
When singers do a dance number and throw their hats
during it, they throw it backstage or up because they
have to go back and get it, but when he threw it
into the audience, he looked so cool.
(Totally into him) That was pretty cool.
Sangil, you're the idol of the gugak world,
so I'm sure you see Chiyeul as competition, right?
What did you think?
When I saw him toss his hat,
I thought about also doing that next time.
Traditional "gat" hats are expensive.
They are $3,000 each.
They're handmade, so they're expensive.
They're made by an intangible cultural assets teacher.
What'd you think? It's been a while since we saw him.
It's been a while and he and I have a lot in common.
What?
(What do superstar Hwang Chiyeul)
(And Nam Sangil have in common?)
- We're both entertaining. / - Yes, I agree.
- We're both good singers. / - Yes, I agree.
But most of all, our good looks.
Oh, come on! (Not budging)
We're both playfully flirty.
I'm going to flirt with
the older ladies in the audience too, like this.
- Like this. / - Please don't do that!
The older ladies. (I dare you to)
Sangil, I'm sorry, but KBS would be against that.
Just don't do that on our show.
While watching Chiyeul's performance,
I felt like a proud mother whose son returned with
a medal of honor. His performance was one that said,
"Mom and dad, I've succeeded and returned."
It was that kind of performance for me.
He was so lovable.
Aeri's talking like the narrator of a pansori folktale.
It's so precious.
And thus Hwang Chiyeul returned,
and he returned more lovable than ever before!
(Pansori plays) That's right!
(Who'll go up against Chiyeul?)
Who should go up? He's a strong opponent.
(We don't want to go)
I don't want to go up against Sangil
because he keeps saying he's my biggest rival.
These two are...
Passionate about learning new things all the time,
including instruments and even dancing and the like.
In order to put on a good show, they're only
satisfied after practicing it 10,000 times.
Brothers with a great passion.
Top Korean musical actors.
Nam Gyeongeup and Nam Kyungjoo.
(Number 2 - Nam Gyeongeup & Nam Kyungjoo)
You have to go up against Chiyeul.
It was a really great performance. I'm a bit worried.
I think you two will beat him easily.
Tell us how you plan to do.
I'm very happy to be on the New Year special
with my brother. We'll do our best up there.
We'll enjoy ourselves to the fullest.
That's so cool. "We'll enjoy ourselves to the fullest."
He's so cool.
We've only imagined what the two
of them together onstage would be like.
Today, it's becoming a reality.
Let's go, Nam Gyeongeup and Nam Kyungjoo!
Let's go! Let's go!
(Cheering from fellow singers)
I know you don't know how the order impacts things,
but you're doing well right now.
A performance like Chiyeul's would be hard to beat
if he was called later on. He was really good.
But now that the Nam brothers are up,
they'll take away from his great performance.
(I can count on him to explain)
Hello, "Immortal Songs" viewers. 2017 is upon us.
I'm musical actor Nam Kyungjoo. It's great to see you.
Hello. I'm his brother, Nam Gyeongeup.
(Mentor and rival older brother)
(Who has forever guided him in the music world)
(Musical actors and brothers)
(Nam Gyeongeup & Nam Kyungjoo)
Even if we don't try too hard,
our voices will go well together since we're brothers.
When I was young, my brother first taught me music.
When he was in middle school and high school,
we used to play piano in a tiny room and sing together.
That's what I was reminded of while we were practicing.
When I woke up in the morning, I'd always be playing
an LP of musical music or classical music to wake up.
I thought it was boring back then.
I didn't want to hear it back then. It was torture.
But after hearing it so much,
I naturally ended up becoming a musical actor.
We've chosen a song that will boost your spirits.
The song is called "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
We hope that after hearing this song,
you'll feel a boost of energy this New Year.
One, two, three! Let's go!
("Bridge Over Troubled Water" / 1970)
(A song stating that during hard times)
(One would become a bridge)
(Title track of Simon and Garfunkel's last album)
(It was popular in Korea as well)
(With the Korean title "Be a Bridge During Hard Times")
The second performance is by
the musical actors, the Nam brothers.
Thank you, everyone.
We're brothers Nam Gyeongeup...
And Nam Kyungjoo. It's great to see you.

(Musical actors' heavenly harmony)
("Bridge Over Troubled Water")
(By Nam Gyeongeup & Nam Kyungjoo)
(The brothers' performance brings smiles)
That was the Nam brothers. It's moving
to hear them sing this after hearing their story.
Both the Nam brothers and Chiyeul put forth so much.
Their performances demanded total attention.
They draw the audience in. It's incredible.
Chiyeul is not only popular in China but in Korea
as well. With just one syllable and a gaze,
he got the audience to clap,
and I thought, "Who could possibly beat Chiyeul?"
But I think if anyone can, it'd be the Nam brothers.
The results of the two performances will be
- meaningful, I think. / - Meaningful how?
It'll show what the audience tastes are like.
If the Nam brothers win,
it'll be very good sign for us.
- Your performance is along that vein? / - Yes.
He's enjoying it. (As expected of the Sherpa guide)
(Hwang Chiyeul vs Nam Gyeongeup & Nam Kyungjoo)
How does it feel to be on this stage after a year?
I was nervous.
A year and seven months ago, I sang this.
♪ I hesitated walking away and turned back ♪
(His first time on "Immortal Songs") When I sang
that song, "Cloud Wanderer," it felt just like today.
This is what returning home in glory is all about.
I bet he's happy beyond what we could comprehend.
If I were to try to tell you how deeply happy I was,
I don't think I could possibly be able to express it.
There's nothing that can express happiness that deep.
I feel so much love and
I really thank all of you sincerely.
It's your first day as a host in the green room.
Do you feel like you want to go back so you can go back
to doing your job or do you want your light to stay on
so you can play hooky since it's your first day? Well?
Humans are fickle creatures.
I really didn't want to go offstage when I was singing.
Thinking about the green room
while here makes me anxious.
But going there wouldn't feel that good either.
Whether I want the lights to go out...
Yes. Because Chiyeul's performance was so good,
I'm sure everyone backstage said they didn't want to be
up second. When I called you to go second,
I bet you felt like that, right?
Right, his performance was so good that
we didn't want to go up against him.
When I was young, my older brothers would hit me and
make me run errands. I really hated that, but now,
as an adult, I couldn't imagine a life without them.
Did you two get into fist fights and stuff?
Not at all.
- Really? / - It's because...
- Usually, the one who hits can't remember. / - No, no.
- I got hit a lot. / - You did, didn't you?
He's the one that got hit.
He's telling a little fib. He didn't get hit a lot.
I hit him once, but it was bad.
- It was bad. / - Yes.
That was when we were really young,
but you used to hit me in high school, too.
Why can't you remember?
I'm old. My memory fails me.
That's how it usually is. Much like how
the one who gets the loan doesn't remember,
but the one who loans the money remembers.
Anyway, seeing you on our show makes me realize
that "Immortal Songs" must be getting lots of love
from many people. I felt honored.
How did the audience vote? Show us the results.
(Checking results)
Will Chiyeul, our new host and the first performer
to kick off 2017, take the first win?
(Performance that got even better)
(Will the first win of 2017 be his?)
They're two brothers walking the same path in life.
Will Nam Gyeongeup and Nam Kyungjoo get the first win?
(Moving performance with brotherly love)
(Will the musical actors and brothers win first today?)
(Hwang Chiyeul vs Nam Gyeongeup & Nam Kyungjoo)
Who will win?
Whoa!
Whoa! (Who'll win in this 2017 special?)
(Passionate performance vs Moving harmony of brothers)
(Audience chose Hwang Chiyeul with 402)
Hwang Chiyeul! 402!
The first performances and it's already in the 400s!
With 402, Chiyeul beats the Nam brothers
to take the first win. (This isn't good)
The Nam brothers are congratulating Chiyeul.
Please give the three another big round of applause.
I'm sorry. I think we lost because of me.
Thank you.
I will now select the third performance.
These two are known for how great they are together.
They're good at singing, dancing and are witty, too.
(Uh-oh)
(Got you)
One may even wonder if they're husband and wife
because they have such good chemistry.
The Choi Bulam and Kim Hyeja of the gugak world.
It's Park Aeri and Nam Sangil.
(Number 3 - Park Aeri & Nam Sangil)
(Choi Bulam and Kim Hyeja of the gugak world are up!)
I had a feeling it was us.
Tell us what you have in store for us.
We'll go up there and share a message of hope
with the viewers. We'll wish them a blessed year.
We'll go up there and have a blast.
Let's go! Let's do it!
Let's go, Park Aeri and Nam Sangil!
(Gugak singers are up!)
Encore!
- You have to send Chiyeul back. / - We want to.
The host shouldn't be playing hooky on his first day.
That's not right.
A talented girl group who's returned as a trio.
LADIES' CODE is here with us today!
It's great to see you.
Tell us how you feel.
(Ashley) We were gone for a while
and during our time away, we watched "Immortal Songs"
and felt jealous seeing other idol singers on the show.
We wondered if we'd ever get to be on,
and suddenly, here we are on the first episode of 2017.
We were so happy when we first heard.
Do you have any special talents to share with us?
- I'm from the States. / - I see.
And I can re-enact a scene from
an American TV drama series.
- Okay. / - From an American TV series.
(What'll she do?) Well...
Oh, my god. So today, like, I went shopping and she said
she was going to go with me but she didn't.
Like what am I supposed to do? I am so mad right now!
She's white! (Gestures and tone similar to American TV)
I feel like I've seen that scene before.
I think I've seen that scene. (100% for special talent)
These two really moved us.
The Nam brothers are back!
(Nam Gyeongeup & Nam Kyungjoo return!)
I listened to you sing, imagining the days you used to
practice as kids in your rooms together.
It was really moving and amazing.
Did you feel nervous?
I've never seen him so nervous before.
I think this show put a lot of pressure on him.
I was trying to be cool and said I'd enjoy it,
but I failed.
This is the first time I've been onstage in six years.
It's been a while.
You weren't this talkative before you went up.
But after you've returned,
you seem to be giving us lots of excuses.
(I'm only human)
I hear Captain Um Honggil has a song
he likes to sing on a regular basis.
It's a sad song, though.
- It's okay. / - It's okay. It's fine.
As we've mentioned earlier,
during my several hikes up the 8000m-high mountains
of the Himalayas, I've lost a lot of friends.
They're always on my mind.
I repeat their names to myself as if praying
and there's a song I sing for my friends too.
- I'll sing that song. / - Please do.

That was touching and I can tell how much love he had
for his fellow hikers. I felt moved and saddened by it.
It was very palpable.
Every time he goes to Nepal and returns,
he fills those around him with high spirits.
That really gets felt.

(May the light of hope always cast upon you!)
("Sunny Day" by Park Aeri & Nam Sangil)
Thank you.
(The original Korean folk spirit!)
It was like they did three songs.
They started by singing a song to ward off bad luck.
Then "Sunny Day" along with "Let's sing and dance."
Then the children's dance group came out.
They were so cute.
I was surprised when I was on my way to the station
and there was a bunch of kids asking me
to take pictures with them and...
All of them were in that group! (Now I see!)
The kids who took photos with me are all there.
I heard they're a dance group from Milyang.
From Milyang...
When they came out, the cutest one of them all
was dancing and they did a close-up,
I felt like we'd already lost.
How are we to beat that?
You can't sing of hope then beat the future
of Korea, the children.
Right.
They came all the way from Milyang too.
(Bad if he stomps on the future)
They came all the way from Milyang.
Gyeongeup, what did you think of the performance?
It was very fancy and spectacular to watch.
Perhaps we should've had a chorus too.
He's still only thinking about his own performance.
He's just finding faults in his performance, even now.
Unbelievable. (I'll invite you on again)
(Hwang Chiyeul with 402 vs Park Aeri & Nam Sangil)
Wow. That was an exciting performance
you'd only get to see on "Immortal Songs."
The top singers of gugak have come together.
They're really out to win seeing as how they invited
a children's dance troupe and even a samulnori group.
You felt you really had to win. You did, didn't you?
You either win or lose, it's one of two options.
With that being said, we wanted to share traditional
Korean music from the start of the New Year.
And one more thing.
We've experienced losing before, so we're okay with it,
but what about the children from Milyang?
They'll be like, "We came here to lose like that?"
I just want them to win at least once.
But wait, they already pressed the buttons. It's over.
We should've said it earlier.
(Very regretful) Before we started.
Chiyeul is a new host on our show now, right?
I hear you feel he's your rival looks wise.
And Hwang Chiyeul is also extremely witty.
Sangil, what did you think?
Is the host allowed to stay out like this?
It's only his first day.
Then you can sing next time too, Dongyeop.
(Yes! I want to see that! )
Nice.
Alright.
Both your performances were amazing.
I wonder who'll win.
Please show us how the audience voted.
(Hwang Chiyeul with 402 vs Park Aeri & Nam Sangil)
(Return of the heartthrob)
Will Hwang Chiyeul, who got his first win,
get a second one with his score of 402?
(Harmony of top pansori singers in Korea)
(Festival that spread hope)
Will Park Aeri and Nam Sangil
beat Hwang Chiyeul? Who will win?
Whoa! (Who will be cast with the light?)
(Contemporary performance vs traditional performance)
(Audience chose Park Aeri & Nam Sangil with 413)
413!
Congratulations!
Give them another round of applause!
Thank you.
(Yay! I beat my rival!)
The future hasn't been lost.
The future of Korea, the children,
and their hopes still remain intact.
It's about time now to show the children that
it's a dog-eat-dog world out there.
I'll now draw for the fourth performance.
I think Kyungmin should go up right about now.
They say fans are the biggest source of inspiration.
I agree. Thanks to the continued love of their fans
who've waited for their return,
they were able to withstand the hardships they faced.
This three-member group hopes only good days lie ahead.
The talented girl group, LADIES' CODE.
(Number 4 - LADIES' CODE)
Oh my god. (Completely feeling the pressure)
That's too high a score.
413 is indeed a high score.
I think we'll be able to perform comfortably.
We'll be back soon.
Tell us how you plan to do.
But tell us like how a character on an American
TV series would. We'd like two different versions.
Oh my god. I'm so nervous right now.
I don't know how to act. I don't know what to do
after such an awesome stage performance. And we have...
I'll do my best. Okay? Yes.
Now, do one where you're nervous but confident.
Yo, I got this right now, girl. Let's go, girls.
(Good)
Let's go, girls! (Confidence level goes up)
Let's go, LADIES' CODE!
- Let's go! Let's go! / - We'll be back.
The man with two wins!
Our new host Hwang Chiyeul is back.
He didn't come back empty-handed.
He got one win. He's not one to get
his lights turned out on his first time up.
You were well-prepared.
I wanted to do a big performance today
so I wanted dancers in the beginning and wanted
opera singers at the end to bring the people hope,
but the writers told me that was too over the top.
But Sangil was all, "Let's sing and dance."
Theirs was huge.
Then those kids from Milyang, too, right?
The kids looked so determined to win.
(We're here to win!)
And they said I was being over-the-top.
You had a lot going on too. You threw your hat.
You're not getting that back?
- A gift? / - A gift?
It's been awhile since you were on the show
so I felt it felt very new.
I was just as nervous.
I hope everyone thought the performance was cute.
Chiyeul, you did a great job!
(We look forward to your work as MC)
Hello. We're LADIES' CODE.
(Debuted in 2013 as a five-member girl group)

(Ko Eunbi of LADIES' CODE Dies in Car Accident)
(Car accident, Agency Says Moving to Hospital in Seoul)
(Member Eunbi Dies, Gwon Rise's Surgery Halted)
The three of us will work hard
to make up for their absence.
We felt we had to carry out their dreams for them, so
we decided to work harder and that's how we got here.
When things were tough, a lot of people cheered us on.
(Handwritten letters) Seeing such support gave us
the strength to go on and many fans told us they'd wait
for us. So we perform with a grateful heart.
(What song?) We have to sing of hope so we thought
about what to sing and decided on the song "Butterfly"
from the movie soundtrack of "Take Off."
We feel we must fly high like a butterfly.
We hope in 2017 we'll be able
to spread our wings and fly high like a butterfly.
("Butterfly" / 2008)

(Song is about how a butterfly takes to flight)
(Used to describe how people should remember)
(Their hopes and dreams and move forward)
The fourth performance is by LADIES' CODE.
Since it's the New Year and it's the "Immortal Songs"
2017 New Year special, we chose a song of hope.
We were able to endure the tough past thanks
to our fans' heartwarming letters.
How would you feel about starting 2017
with heartwarming words to the loved ones around you?
Today, we'll be singing a song much loved from
the "Take Off" soundtrack, "Butterfly" by Loveholics.

(A song that brings hope and solace)
("Butterfly" by LADIES' CODE)
(LADIES' CODE's refreshingly moving performance)
No matter how many times I hear this song,
it's so hopeful and sends out the message that
anything's possible if you try.
That's how the song makes me feel.
Hyukgun, what did you think of it?
It made me feel like I could fly.
That's how it felt.
I don't want to go up next.
Hyukgun speaks softer but he talks a lot like Kyungmin.
He said he doesn't want to go up next.
He's a close friend of mine.
Kyungmin, what did you think?
They have a sad history they went through,
and maybe that's why just seeing them sing
made my heart ache.
Sojung's expression at the end of the song as
she sang was heartbreaking.
It was as if she was holding back tears.
I'm sure a lot of people applauded her due to
her efforts to finish the song despite the tears.
- Right. / - That's what I thought.
Gyeongeup, what did you think?
They hit the high notes really well.
I enjoyed it, but there was something they missed.
They didn't have a chorus.
He's so obsessed with having a chorus.
They didn't have a chorus.
They won't be able to rival the power of the other one.
I feel like he reminds me of my father when he speaks.
Chorus. Screwdriver.
His pronunciation of words is so quaint.
Where's the screwdriver? They didn't have a chorus.
I'm not that old.
(Hahaha)
(LADIES' CODE vs Park Aeri & Nam Sangil with 413)
This is the first time you three
are on "Immortal Songs."
How was it? Were you very nervous?
Yes, this is a huge crowd,
so our hands and lips were shaking.
I see. It was mentioned before.
I'm sure they hate hearing this question.
They say fan letters gave them the most strength
when they were going through hard times.
What was the most memorable thing a fan wrote?
For me, it was this. We took a really long time off,
and there were fans who wrote us every day.
They said they'd wait for us on social media.
They said they'd wait forever.
The fact they didn't forget about us.
They can't help but cry when they bring up the love
their fans had to wait for them.
What's your wish for 2017?
The title of the song we sang was "Butterfly" and it
says after being hunched over, you're ready to fly.
We hope in 2017 we and everyone here
are happier than last year and are able to fly high.
We hope you fly high. I wonder how the audience voted.
Show us the audience results.
(Checking results)

Having this man on the show for
the New Year is so meaningful.
- I think Captain Um should... / - Go up now.
This man makes me so very proud.
(Makes us proud to be Korean)
As you all know, he's faced death so many times.
He not only climbed the highest mountain Everest
and 16 peaks including ones in the Himalayas,
he showed us how proud we are to be Korean.
Mountaineer Um Honggil and Hong Kyungmin.
(Number 5 - Um Honggil & Hong Kyungmin)
(Order of Hong Kyungmin and Captain Um!)
(Chi energy)
Then, naturally, Kim Hyukgun Park Kiyoung will go last.
Tell us how you plan to do this.
We hope hearing this song will bring you hope and
courage to inspire you to embark on a new journey.
That's a lovely thing to say.
Kyungmin, can you tell us how you plan to do this?
Much like a Sherpa guide for Captain Um,
I'll help him get to the peak of
the "Immortal Songs" mountain.
I'll be a good guide.
Nice. Captain Um and Kyungmin the Sherpa.
Let's go!
Hello, "Immortal Songs" viewers. It's great to see you.
Namaste.
Namaste.
(Testing human limits)
(Snowstorm-filled Himalayas)
(Learning from failure and setbacks)
(He made it to the peak several times)
(He lives to challenge himself)
(Mountaineer Um Honggil)
I tried to climb peaks over 8,000m 38 times.
And over a span of 22 years, I achieved my dreams and
survived, but in the process, I lost ten fellow climbers.
The process was all due to their sacrifice
and effort. Because of the failures, I became stronger
inside and out. They were the catalyst that sparked
my desire to have and obtain goals.
Success was possible because of the failure.
What will you be singing?
We'll be singing "Evergreen Tree."
The lyrics are very meaningful.
It's about pine trees that withstand
the cold snowstorms of winter, remaining green
and standing tall all-year-round, 365 days.
So we decided to sing "Evergreen Tree."
Since we're greeting the new year, we will be
delivering a message of hope. It won't be about singing
well in the technical sense. He'll be able to convey
his message well enough just standing and
singing onstage. That's what I think.
One, two, three!
Let's go!

the year of the rooster, I'd like everyone here in
the audience and all the Korean viewers at home

Hoping this year bubbles up and overflows with hope,
I'll send the sacred strength I got in the Himalayas
straight to you now. Happy New Year. Thank you.

- I got choked up. / - I got choked up.
I really got choked up.
He sings strongly as he would
when he's going through the final moment of hardship,
thinking, "I must get over this, I might die."
And I can tell the captain really
wants to cheer the people on.
- Yes, that's true. / - Kiyoung, you were bawling.
I was very moved and the message was delivered palpably
from the song, which made me reflect once more.
It's like Park Aeri and Nam Sangil's performance
and Um Honggil and Hong Kyungmin's
are like a story woven together.
You know the kids from Milyang?
Those children are our future, right?
For those children, us adults must fight and win
to create a better world for them. I feel like they're
songs related to current affairs of the state.
And now we'll be up to finish up with a song of love.
(Story that even has an ending)
So that's how this story ends!
(I like it)
(Um Honggil & Hong Kyungmin vs)
(Park Aeri & Nam Sangil with 413)
Wow...
I can't believe I felt so moved like that.
Please give them another big round of applause.
Thank you.
It's hard to define what good singing is, right?
When a man who's been on the verge of life and death
won and became the victor delivers such a message
to us, since he sings it with such sincerity,
it really hits you deep inside.
So many thoughts went through my head.
Captain Um, do you normally enjoy singing?
No. I'm a bad singer, so I prefer listening to songs.
- You like listening to music. / - Yes.
I heard your wife really likes
to watch "Immortal Songs."
Yes, that's true.
When I told her I was cast for this show,
she said she was worried, then said,
"Hong Kyungmin is the best on 'Immortal Songs.'"
She said, "Hong Kyungmin is the best."
She said that Hong Kyungmin is the best
and highly recommended I sing with him,
so I said of course I would.
Kyungmin, the audience and I alike were confused.
He didn't seem to be a great singer, but we all
wondered why his singing was tugging at
our heartstrings. That was a unique experience.
What did you think?
There are things in life that can't
be explained by theories or data.
I believe there are things that cannot be explained.
What surprised me was
he wasn't like this during practice.
He must've really felt the emotions just now, right?
Yes, while I was singing,
I thought of all the things I went through and
the trials and tribulations climbing the 8,000m peaks,
thinking back on my teammates and of life and death,
and I unwittingly felt so emotional
that I sang off-beat, even forgetting the lyrics a bit.
I'm sorry you had to sing along with that, Kyungmin.
It's okay.
With the start of 2017, when I personally have
tough times, I'll remember your singing.

I'm on a singing show like this.
To be on a singing program in my wheelchair
feels unreal. I'm so nervous.
If you want to know how I'll be singing, It'll be hard
to know if my voice is coming out of my ears or nose.
The song we chose to sing is "The Prayer," which was
sung by Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion.
Hyukgun's dedicating it to his parents.
I'll sing it as I would a prayer for my parents.
I'm so grateful to everyone. Rather thinking that
I've overcome it, I believe that the battle is
in progress. It's tiring and it still hurts,
but I have so many who are rooting for me by my side.
Through the support of those people and my family,
I've continued to sing and found a reason to go on
living. I'm happy I can sing again. I hope that through
my song, people live realizing how grateful they are.

How did you enjoy your son's performance?
He's here today only through the love and
support of all those around him.
I hope he becomes a great singer who delivers courage
to those facing tough times in 2017.
His mother was in tears the whole time,
so my heart ached too.
Say a few words to your son.
Hyukgun, as your mom,
I'm grateful that you endured everything
and sang with all your might in front of
such a huge audience and your fans.
I love you, Hyukgun.
