"Immortal Songs: Singing the Songs of Legends."
Every single one of today's legend's albums
was number one on music charts.
She was crowned the Best Singer on
the three major networks at the time,
receiving the title of a Grand Slam winner.
Even after 42 long years,
fans all over Korea still love her.
Korea's favorite singer, Hae-eun Lee.
She's just the best star ever.
She represents what 80s music was about.
She's glamorous.
She's got charisma
but has a girlish charm to her as well.

"Immortal Songs: Singing the Songs of Legends."
This is his first time alone on the show.
Charismatic rocker Park Wankyu is here with us today.
I don't think that's Wankyu but perhaps one of
his friends pretending to be him in that mask.
I have the flu and if it spread,
that'd be the end of everything for everyone.
That'd mean all the great singers here
would have to back out of their January events,
which is why I'm wearing a mask.
Chiyeul right here is very busy.
See? Look how far Dongha
has distanced himself from Wankyu.
That's your problem, you know that, Dongha?
Chiyeul's right next to him. You're avoiding him?
The raspy singing you do when you sing high notes.
I can't wait to see what your performance will be like
your first time on here alone.
(First time alone on "Immortal Songs"! Coming soon!)
It's her first time in four years.
The queen of R&B, who is called a textbook of R&B.
Please welcome Hwayobi!
(R&B textbook Hwayobi) Hwayobi!
We all call you the queen of R&B and such
but are you feeling shy about it?
Yes, especially when you call me a living textbook.
I've disliked textbooks ever since I was a child.
Oh, okay. Then, not an R&B textbook, but...
I'm more like a good reference point.
A reference point.
Everyone our age I'm sure listened to
Hwayobi's songs over and over till it hurt our ears.
(Sentimentality that can't be duplicated)
(Great appeal)
(Singer who's become a part of us)
(Vocalist Hwayobi)
We've been asking you to return to our show for
four years now, so why didn't you?
Four years ago, my lights kept going out,
so people gave me a flashlight.
I remember.
What are you holding?
They gave me a flashlight
because my light always goes out.
If I press this, it'll come right on so
I can get back safely.
(Even when my lights go out like this...)
(I can return safely)
Hwayobi, we can't wait to hear your fabulous singing.
A man with many talents. He was the talk of the town
after the riveting performance on one knee.
Please welcome KCM!
(2016 Best of the Best performance)
(Got on his knees singing his heart out)
(To "Confession" by Yim Jaebeum)
(Sincere to the core)
(Palpable delivery of sentiments)
We know you always come out with
something grand prepared.
What special performance do you have in store today?
I hear he's been taking classes
to put together even better performances.
Really? You're taking classes?
Not classes really, but it's a natural process.
I'm just a ballad singer and I want to do more now.
Like how Dongha did that fight scene.
He went for it all the way.
He kicked a dancer in the face!
(We must see it again)
(Jung Dongha's legendary performance)
(Surprising fighting scene)
I actually saw KCM's dress rehearsal.
Is it extravagant?
I was reminded of my own performance seeing his.
It'll surpass your expectations.
Beyond?
This is a performance I wanted to do for a concert,
but it fit today's song, so I went for it.
It can seem a bit over-the-top,
but I hope you all just enjoy it.
In my opinion, it'd be best
if he did the act in two different episodes.
We felt the same way about your fighting performance.
We should've seen that in one episode
and your singing in another.
That's too bad. (I see)
I'll now select the first performance.
Dongyeop is drawing for the first up.
There are people that get more endearing
each time you see them.
Having this quality is important in life,
and his dancing is just like that.
At first, you wonder why he'd dance like that,
but the more you see him dance, the more you're hooked.
Jung Dongha?
There are even compilations of just his dancing.
That's how enchanting his dancing is.
The "Immortal Songs" dancing machine, Jung Dongha.
(Number 1 - Jung Dongha)
(Surprised)
The "Immortal Songs" dancing machine, Jung Dongha.
Since when?
(Since then! You've been labeled the dancing machine)
(Don't try to deny it)
(You're already hooked)
You're thinking you'll take home the trophy, right?
No, not at all.
I'll just go and enjoy myself. Honest.
Okay.
He goes from sweet teen to tough guy in an instant.
Our rocker, Jung Dongha! Let's go!
(Your phone!)
(Thanks)
Were you dancing just now?
(Can't hide his instinct to dance)
(I'm the "Immortal Songs" dancing machine)
(Don't hesitate and just shake it)
Hello. "Immortal Songs" viewers.
I'm Jung Dongha.
When you think of Hae-eun Lee,
you think of a singer who represented the 80s.
Today, I'll be singing Hae-eun Lee's "Soliloquy."
I'll sing it from the bottom of my heart.
Let's go!
("Soliloquy" / 1982)
(Title track of Hae-eun Lee's 13th album)
(The album containing this song)
(Sold over 100,000 copies in just four months)
(Hae-eun Lee's albums were selected to be most)
(Often aired in 1983, second only to Cho Yongpil)
(Number one for five weeks straight on KBS Top Ten)
(Number one for six weeks overall)
(On Feb. 9th and from Feb. 23rd to March 23rd)
The first performance is by Jung Dongha.
Hello.
Today, I'll be singing Hae-eun Lee's "Soliloquy."
I'll be singing the song more with the focus
on a painful parting and how within that moment,
I promise to reunite with the one I love.
I'll be singing it as if I'm singing along with her.
That's the concept I went for today.
I'll give it my all.

Thank you.
(Performance that purifies the heart)
Dongha's performance was like the first performance
of a new year, as if to celebrate 2017.
He added Michael Jackson's "Will You Be There?"
- into the song. / - It's really hard to express
a song like a plot of a story like that.
If it's not done well, it can be confusing.
When the sound was as grand as a gospel song,
I wondered if he'd be able to complete the song,
but him being Dongha, he belted out that last note.
(Charismatic high note!) Belting it out.
With that, he commanded attention,
which made me think, "That's Dongha, alright."

"Immortal Songs" brings families together.
It's a show that plays an important role in society.
Families gather together on the weekends in front of
the TV to watch "Immortal Songs" together. And on
the show, you get to see how amazing singers really
are, so for me to be on the show is a great honor.
Is your dream to become a TV show host?
It's as if you're doing an analysis of our show.
Why did you bring up the family bit?
I really wanted to be on TV on the weekend.

(Jaejung's performance is coming soon) Thank you.
She's returned as a musical diva.
Please welcome Son Seungyeon!
Hello. Hello.
You told us before that you were doing a musical.
We want to see you act.
Can you do a few lines for us then start singing?
Just one little scene.
(A scene from Son Seungyeon in "The Bodyguard")
I need someone to stand in as my co-star.
Chiyeul?
Our Chiyeul will forever be your better half!
Chiyeul, who likes Seungyeon.
When I say, "Let me make this very clear for you,"
- you say, "What?" / - Just that?
Don't speak in a dialect, please.
This is LA.
Hold on. Let me get into character.
Look, I don't know what you're trying to do here,
but let me make this very clear for you.
What?
(I said don't speak in dialect!)
Seungyeon can't get into character if you do that!
Not with a country-boy accent.
Okay. I'll be serious.
Look. I don't know what you're trying to do here,
but let me make this very clear for you.
What?
I don't want my life affected because of your job.
Tony will let you know what to do.
You two can handle it on your own.
I don't want either of you following me around.
(Actress Son Seungyeon)
She's different now.
That's some great acting.
She was really like Whitney Houston.
"I don't know what you're trying to do here!"
"I don't know what you're trying to do here!"
"I'll destroy you."
"Talk to Tony!"
People had her pegged all wrong in the past.
Because of her slow way of speech and her amazing
English skills, they thought she was Korean American
or had studied abroad for many years,
but she was actually born in Gunsan and grew up
in Pohang all her life. She's 100 percent Korean.
Talented vocalist Hwayobi!
(Number 2 - Hwayobi)
(Quirky Hwayobi)
You're second up. Tell us what you have planned.
I'm happy to be singing in the first half.
- Seriously? / - Yes, I have a short attention span...
So you have to go up quickly.
The later the turn, the more I'll want to go home,
so it's better if I go up early.
She doesn't have the desire to win in her eyes.
Her eyes are just innocent and sweet.
R&B queen, Hwayobi! Let's go!
Hello. I'm Hwayobi. It's been a while.
(Returned with the song "I Won't Say Goodbye")
(Korean R&B living legend)
(Singing that makes listeners emotional)
(R&B queen Hwayobi)
Today, I'll be singing
"You Wouldn't Know" by Hae-eun Lee.
Not only is the melody good, but the lyrics are
innocent and sweet yet can be expressed in a sad way.
It's a song that has two distinct sides,
so I really wanted to sing it. It's important to keep
Hae-eun's style as the focus while keeping my own style
to express it dynamically as if one is reading a book.
I'll work hard to create this one page of a story.

(Fallen deeply for Hwayobi's sentimental singing)
Hearing Hwayobi singing,
I felt like I traveled back in time to the 90s.
Personally, I love her and I'm a huge fan.
This is an R&B style only she could pull off.
Jaejung, who'll win? Dongha or Hwayobi?
I think Dongha's going to win.
What do you think his score will be?
How many audience members showed up?
Regardless of that, we always have 500.
500 is the best score you can get.
"How many audience members showed up?"
He's like a ticket broker.
(How many?)
(Jaejung) Mister Jung will probably get over 350 votes.
- That's an extremely low score. / - Really?
- That's a very low score. / - Really?
It's an extremely low score.
You said you were dying to come on our show.
I want to do well, that's all.
What are you talking about?
He doesn't care about other people's scores.
I want to learn lots and do well.
He's such a little jokester.
Personally, I think Hwayobi will win.
With how many points?
- She'll get 415. / - That's high.
When he said 415, Jaejung got this look in his eyes
like, "That's what I should've said."
That's how he looked.
I didn't know the right price.
- Price? / - It's not a price, kid.
I think Jung Dongha will
get the highest score on "Immortal Songs."
He was first but he'll get the highest score ever?
I think so.
(Jung Dongha vs Hwayobi)
Jung Dongha sang "Soliloquy,"
which was number one on KBS "Gayo Top Ten"
for five, six weeks. How popular was it then?
You may feel embarrassed answering, but...
Very popular.
(Couldn't express it in words!)
That's how much.
Truth be told, "You Wouldn't Know" and "Soliloquy"
have a backstory to them.
The song "You Wouldn't Know" was released in 1975,
but it wasn't a hit song right away,
so I was really disappointed
and I practically quit being a singer altogether
when suddenly, it became a hit less than a year later.
That song was how I began my career as a singer.
And "Soliloquy" came to me at another time when I was
about to quit being a singer.
That was because I also didn't know "Soliloquy"
would be such a huge hit, which is why
while listening to the song, I went back and forth
between smiling and crying on the inside.
My fellow singers, I love you. You're amazing.
Thank you.
She gave them high praises.
I wonder how the audience voted.
Please show us how the audience voted.

Who will win?
(Who'll be cast with the winning light?)
(Audience chose Jung Dongha with 423)
Thank you.
(Dongha wins with a very high score!)
Wow! (Oh my goodness)
I think that's the highest score for being first up.
With 423, Jung Dongha beats
Hwayobi and takes the first win.
423 is an astronomically high score.
It's good enough to be the score in the final round.
It's a winning score.
He may take home the trophy with that.
(Sad) Beating everyone and going first.
That is an incredibly high score.
Of course, we've had winners with more than 423,
but that's the highest score ever in the first round.
This will put a lot of pressure on whoever's up third.
I'll now draw for the third performance.
It'd be unfair to go up after a score like that.
- It'd be bad. / - Seriously, it'd be bad.
This person has been having
the time of their life lately, I hear.
From what I heard, this person has been kissing
nonstop every day.
(Shudder)
(No way)
She was recently chosen as the female lead of her first
musical ever and she has a kissing scene with her
co-star, so she's kissing him onstage these days.
She's returned as a musical actress.
The monster vocalist of "Immortal Songs."
Son Seungyeon!
(Number 3 - Son Seungyeon)
- Oh no. / - Just before he called your name,
you said the score was enough to take home the trophy.
Seungyeon.
You need to go up onstage and bring that number up.
It's only possible for Seungyeon.
Exactly. You can get a higher score.
- I'll work hard. / - I saw her rehearsal briefly.
- It was no joke. / - Amazing, right?
Monster vocalist Son Seungyeon! Let's go!
Let's go! Let's go!
Thank you.
If the first singer up gets 423,
what are the rest of us to do?
Today's legend, Hae-eun Lee, decided to become
a singer because her family fell on hard times.
- Jaejung? / - Yes?
You became a singer through an audition program, right?
Yes, I was living in Florida briefly and went to
the auditions held in New York. I got lucky and won,
so that's why I'm here to sing on the show.
How long had you been in Florida?
- A year. / - A year and four months.
You speak Korean with too much of an American accent
to have only lived there for a year and four months.
I, well...
I attended a very good English language school.
Then since it's your first time on the show,
tell us your first impression or what you have in store
for your performance. Say it in English, please.
In English? I studied for a year and four months, so...
Please. (Can't wait)
Today's a very nice day.
- Hey, guys. Hi. How are you? / - Hi.
(Now let's do it for real...)
Are you sick? (What?)
(Are you sick?)
What the heck is that?
(Unbelievable) You can't tell?
That's about my level of English speaking.
It's enough to get by at a convenience store.
You're good.

(Her first time as a musical singer!)
(Dreams of becoming the Whitney Houston of Korea!)
(Monster vocalist who's returned)
(To "Immortal Songs" as a musical star, Son Seungyeon!)
Today, I'll be singing "The Third Hangang Bridge"
by Hae-eun Lee.
I'm in the musical "The Bodyguard" right now and
I'll be performing with the actors and actresses doing
the show with me. When one thinks of "The Bodyguard,"
they think it's all about romance and drama,
but it actually has a lot of dramatic action and
dance scenes, so what we've prepared is
a salsa dance number that's in the musical.
So when we rearranged "The Third Hangang Bridge,"
we did it in the vein of salsa music.
I worked hard to make it a performance
that's very pleasing to the eye.
("The Third Hangang Bridge" / 1987)

Wow!
Son Seungyeon! Son Seungyeon is amazing!
The song "The Third Hangang Bridge" coupled
with Whitney Houston's "I'm Every Woman" at the start.
I wonder how her score will be.
The "Third Hangang Bridge" is now
called the Hannam Bridge.
The Hannam Bridge is the Third Hangang Bridge?
Back in the day, we called it the Third Hangang Bridge.
How ancient are you, anyway?
(Witnessed the bridge's history) You're amazing.
I'm excited. Hwayobi,
what'd you think of Seungyeon's song?
There was so much to see and her singing was great.
I should make her my role model.
Hwayobi is like an innocent child.
(Positive feedback by innocent girl Hwayobi)
(Jung Dongha with 423 vs Son Seungyeon)
The song "The Third Hangang Bridge" became popular
because it popularized disco in Korea, right?
It was the first ever Korean song
- to have a disco rhythm. / - Right.
The lyrics she sang that were forbidden back then were,
"We met for the first time yesterday and loved,
I'll go down a road I don't know the name of."
They said, "How can you love after just meeting?"
I sort of agree with that, though.
- How so? / - No comment.
So I changed it to, "Let's meet again and love
and head down a path of happiness as one."
But I felt uneasy about the change.
- I didn't like the lyrics. / - Right.
But a few years back,
I redid the song with the original lyrics,
"We met for the first time and loved."
So now, I'm happy with the lyrics.
It's good, but there's something else that upsets me.
What?
The Third Hangang Bridge is now called Hannam Bridge.
How am I to sing it now?
♪ The river flows by ♪

coming to the studio for work.

Don't tell us about that.
(The reality of wardrobe endorsements)
Because they're off-season?
Are you up for a new challenge?
Whenever we prepare for this show,
it'd be a lie to say we don't want to win.
We always want at least one win and rather
than having a certain person we want to beat,
we want to put on a show where
we get an automatic response from the audience.
I feel happy till it's time to go home then.
Put on a show to shake us all up!
Let's go, Lazy Bone!
Let's go! Let's go!
Today, we'll be singing "Rain at Dawn."
What surprised us was
we didn't know it was a song from back then.
We knew the melody and we knew it had sad lyrics.
It was a sensational dance track that was a hit.
As always, we'll put on a fun, exciting show.
And as always, we'll try to connect with the audience
as we put on the show. Let's go, Lazy Bone!

Yoon Suil's "Apartment" was often
used as a cheer song, right?
After this show, Hae-eun Lee's "Rain at Dawn"
will probably be used as a cheer song.
This is the advantage of being a band.
No matter what, even if they just do one song,
it feels like we're at a Lazy Bone concert.
Park Wankyu is starting a band too, now.
(Oops!)
(Didn't mean to do that)
(Oh, no) What's with that mask?
It wasn't just the mask but the sunglasses came down
and we made eye contact.
But I was worried it might be embarrassing, so...
As a veteran band member, what did you think?
"Immortal Songs" is a really great show.
The show features a wide variety of music.
Son Seungyeon's Latin salsa music. And R&B.
Then we have this ska funk music too.
It's amazing that all those genres exist together.
For this show to allow experimental performances
like the one we just saw makes this an amazing show.
Thank you.
Okay, so the show created the platform for them to
do a show like that,
but will Lazy Bone be able to beat Dongha?
No.
(What?)
(Then why'd you praise Lazy Bone?)
Because even the monster Seungyeon...
Monster vocalist Seungyeon.
You just said "monster Seungyeon."
That's calling Seungyeon a monster.
She's a monster vocalist.
- Sorry. / - It's okay. (You know what I meant, right?)
All the audience members got on their feet,
so I feel like they'll all vote for Lazy Bone.
But since Wankyu said they'd lose,
I'm not really sure.
- It's Wankyu's first time too. / - Really?
So just tell us how you really feel.
We joined the show today, so we're like peers.
(This isn't the army...)
Joined?
(I've been a singer for 20 years! We're not peers)
(Sorry) He took off his glasses.
Don't call a veteran singer your peer.
(I'll let it slide since you're new to this too)
Since we're new to "Immortal Songs."
Love each other, love our nation.
(Jung Dongha with 423 vs Lazy Bone)
Lazy Bone's performance was very exciting, wasn't it?
What did you think?
I'm out of breath, so I'm taking a breather.
(Thank you for enjoying the show with us)
You stood up to dance with them?
Of course! I jumped more than them I bet.
It's amazing how happy one can get in the short span
of just one song. I'm happy that I got to see that
for myself once again. / - Thank you.
Let's see how the audience voted.
(Audience choice) Show us the results!
(Checking results)
(Jung Dongha with 423 vs Lazy Bone)
(Top score being first up, 423!)
Will Dongha be the first in 2017 to take home
the trophy after being first up?
(Will trophy-getter Jung Dongha get his third win?)
(Wherever we sing, we make it our concert!)
(Will the passionate Lazy Bone get their first win?)
An uplifting, fun performance by Lazy Bone.
Will they get their first win? Who will win?
(Who will the winner be?)
(Will they stop Dongha's winning streak?)
(Audience chose Jung Dongha with 423)
(Unbeatable Jung Dongha's third win!)
Please give Dongha and Lazy Bone
another warm round of applause.
Thank you!
Dongyeop is now drawing the fifth ball.
The man who can bring Dongha down is someone
who's good at kneeling down to sing passionately.
KCM needs to go up there and do that.
Everyone has a dream,
and this young man recently made his come true.
- Is it Wankyu? / - Parc Jaejung.
He said being on this show was a dream come true.
- Oh, yeah. / - Right.
The goal and dream of most singers is
to put on a concert completely with their own songs.
This singer has achieved just that after 14 years.
The sentimental vocalist, KCM.
(Number 5 - KCM)
(Chills! Like Heejun said, KCM is fifth)
- Finally, it's on. / - We're set now.
If I do my best and I beat him, that'd be great.
Let's go, KCM!
(Heads out to take Dongha down!)
Today's legend, Hae-eun Lee,
was a fashion icon in the 70s and 80s.
Park Wankyu's hair is phenomenal.
It's so shiny from the side. It's gleaming.
I don't spend a lot of money on anything.
There's nothing to spend money on,
but I spend a ton on my hair.
I don't care for anything else,
not accessories or cars. I don't need anything but
I just like to take care of my hair.
But what's worse than that,
I tend to harm myself trying to look cool.
I'm always strutting around in tank tops.
That's how I got the flu this time, too.
You got the flu because of tank tops?
(Never again)
While preparing for it, I wanted to show the audience
something new. So I added a laser show to
the performance. I hope everyone enjoys it
and thinks it is a blast. I hope the performance
will be fun to watch and listen too.
I'm sure you all know "Passion" by Hae-eun Lee.
("Passion" / 1985)
(Husband-wife team of songwriter Kim Huigap)
(And lyricist Yang Inja wrote the song together)
(Title track to Hae-eun Lee's 16th album)
(Which was a huge hit)
(It boosted Hae-eun Lee to the rank of a top singer)
(And the song was known as a masterpiece)
(She said herself that this is one song)
(That she couldn't leave out of her singing career)
The fifth performance is by KCM.
I've never done a performance like this before,
so I'm really nervous, but I hope you all enjoy it.
I will do a good job so it doesn't reflect poorly
on Ms. Lee's great song. Thank you.

(All cheer and clap for KCM's passion for "Passion")
(His first "Immortal Songs" performance of this level)
(His great adventure to try new things starts now)
("Passion" by KCM)
Wow!
KCM! KCM!
We just watched a performance with an added laser show.
I've never seen one like it in all my life.
The laser and the green beams
really filled the hall like a concert.
The audience shouted so loudly.
It went well with KCM's song too.
I thought DJ Koo was here or something.
- I know, it did feel like that. / - Yes.
I'm not sure, but they were like that with Lazy Bone,
and it seems that fun, exciting performances lose.
KCM put on an exciting performance-based show
and if he beats Dongha with it,
the next exciting performance must beat that one.
He had it all, beat-boxing, ballad singing.
The laser show, dancing.
That's like the end-all, be-all of fun performances.
(Jung Dongha with 423 vs KCM)
KCM sang the song "Passion."
This song was very popular back then, right?
Without "Passion," I probably wouldn't
have known which song to end my concerts with.
Kim Chimyeon, you were amazing today.
That's what KCM stands for?
Many older people get that wrong.
What are some other names people say KCM stands for?
Ms. Lee just mentioned the most
popular one, which means "kimchi noodles."
There's also "Kimchi Man."
Then there's another variation, "King Chest Man."
Then, there's the backward "Chic-ken Mania."
I have a variety of nicknames.
What was interesting was that while listening to
"Passion," I got choked up. The tip of my nose tickled
and my eyes welled up. I wondered why.
Throughout all the performances, I felt closest to
tears during this one. I think it's because today,
the singers here once again showed me
how joyous my life is. Thank you so much. Thank you.
I was in shock.
There was such a wide variety of performances
and so much to see. And with this laser show,
I thought he was a stage design professional.
I wondered if you'd stepped off stage but
it was you the whole time.
You went down and then did the show yourself.
This program gives me the chance to continue
challenging myself and working toward progress.
I continue to experiment and try to find
what kind of performances will be exciting,
which is how I've gotten so far.
I wonder what the results will be.
Let's see how the audience voted.
Please, stop doing such weird things!
(Come back to earth)
Please show us how the audience voted.
(Jung Dongha, record holder of going first and winning)
(KCM has never lost on his first round before!)
(Singing that moved the legend to tears)
(Will Dongha, the man with many trophies, win?)
"Immortal Songs" top winner Jung Dongha.
Will he get his fourth win with 423?
(Top performance)
Or will KCM with his stellar laser show beat
Dongha to take his first win? Who will win?
(Jung Dongha with 423 vs KCM)
(Who won?)
(Audience chose KCM 437)
437!
(New winner KCM, who stops Dongha's fourth win)
Once again! Congratulations!
Now, that is how we'll have to do exciting songs.
With 437, he KCM beats Dongha to take his first win.
Now, I'll draw for the sixth performance
and the final seventh performance.
His sentimental voice has depth.
He's even handsome on top of that.
He is a total heartthrob.
He's considered a new-age ballad singer and
it's his first time on "Immortal Songs."
Sixth up is sentimental vocalist Parc Jaejung!
Tell us what you have in store.
(Jaejung) I've come here to sing first and foremost,
so forget the silly things I did before
and just focus on my singing, please.
There haven't been many who were relaxed
enough backstage to make us laugh as he did.
We believe he'll show us a perfect performance.
Let's go, Parc Jaejung!
I'll do a good job.
"Immortal Songs" viewers, it's great to see you.
I'm Parc Jaejung.
I thought, "Finally, I can be on KBS."
I was moved to know that people actually
wanted to see me on the show like that.
Because a long time ago, I even thought about
being in the audience of "Immortal Songs,"
and now, here I am performing. I feel deeply moved.
Today, I'll be singing "Regret" by Ms. Hae-eun Lee.
(Source: MBC) The silver prize

(The beautifully sad soliloquy)
("Regret" by Parc Jaejung)
(Tenderly touching)
Dare I say he'll be the 2017
super rookie of "Immortal Songs."
When one sings a ballad,
one must create a dramatic storyline
and Jaejung knows how to do that. I was in awe.
I wonder how high his score will be.
Wankyu, what'd you think of Jaejung's performance?
He didn't sound over-experienced, which was probably
a refreshing change for the audience.
If I liken KCM's performance to avant-garde art,
Jaejoong's was like a watercolor painting.
It's like digital versus analog.
They felt like polar opposites.
What about you, Jundoy?
One can opt to do all sorts of things
and I'm sure he worried as it's his first time,
but he just showed us who he was.
(Parc Jaejung vs KCM with 437)
Parc Jaejung sang "Regret," which won the Silver Award
in the 1980 International Song Fest, right?
Right.
At the time, there were many international festivals.
That's why I entered a lot of them at the time.
Waiting at such events made it hard to breathe.
Because I was that nervous. But now, looking back,
those performances really helped me a lot.
Yes, of course.
I remember back in those days,
you'd return with awards and the whole nation
congratulated you and welcomed you with open arms.
Yes, those were the days.
What did you think of Jaejung's performance?
Jaejung, you were the one who brought me to tears.
I felt the sadness and love as well. You did very well.
Thank you.
It's your first time on "Immortal Songs."
Were you nervous or anything?
Would you have preferred to be in the first half?
Or were you relieved to go up late?
I'm glad I came up late because I wanted to see
the other singers' performances even more than my own.
This was a learning experience for me.
I've learned a lot from not only
Ms. Lee, but from all my fellow singers.
Please show us how the audience voted.
(Checking results)
(Parc Jaejung vs KCM with 437)

I barely rearranged the song today.
I'll just sing it calmly and be done with it.
Nice.
I'll sing a high note towards the end too.
So you've added one of those in too.
I have a favor to ask all of you back here.
I'm a newbie to the show,
so please give me some strength and support.
Let's go! Let's go!

Hello, "Immortal Songs" viewers.
I'm singer Park Wankyu. It's great to see you.

(What will his solo performance be like?)
Since it's my first time here doing a solo performance,
I feel like a newbie singer.
It's a new kind of feeling.
I think it's the saddest song by Ms. Lee.
It's called "Elegy."
Don't be too harsh on me just because I have a cold.
Please give me one more vote if you can.
Oh, gosh. Why am I begging when I should be confident?
"I'll beat him no problem." That's what I should say.
I've given up on that. I'll just be modest
and fully express what I can with what I have.
I'll do my best. Thank you.

Wow! Park Wankyu!
The last "Whoa" part he sang got me choked up
- because it sounded like crying. / - Me too.
I was most absorbed by his performance
- than any other today. / - Really?
I was so into it. It was as if he was telling me this,
so when he cried out in the end, I got so choked up.
It made me think so much.
Of all the people in the world that
have colds, I'm sure he sang the best.
I'm telling him you said that.
I really mean it. (Say that again)
Dongha, you won so many times today,
so you should be able to predict the outcome.
The laser show was strong but
it's Wankyu's first time on "Immortal Songs,"
so they'll like that novelty he has.
I think Wankyu will win by a few points.
(Park Wankyu vs KCM with 437)
The song "Elegy" by Park Wankyu.
I've done "Immortal Songs" for a long time,
and I realized that every singer
has a song he or she can call his or her own.
Personally, for me,
Wankyu made this song his and it suits him.
What did you think?
Of all of my songs, "Elegy" is my favorite,
so I was really looking forward to it.
Wankyu sang the song and did it justice,
fulfilling my expectations. It was moving.
(Thank you for the moving performance)
How did it feel to be on the show today?
Along the way, I'd often regretted becoming a singer,
but today, I'm so glad I'm a singer.
The singers today made me feel that and they have
inspired me to continue singing for 20 years to come.
(We'd love that)
(Great idea)
I'll work hard. Please give me a lot of support,
my fellow singers. Thank you.
You debuted 21 years ago but
this is your first time solo on "Immortal Songs."
- Yes. / - Are you nervous?
Yes, I am a bit nervous.
That's because I'm singing in front of Ms. Lee,
so I'm even more nervous than I imagined I'd be.
I see. What'd you think?
I've been a fan of his even before my debut.
When I used to be a rocker,
I studied his singing like a textbook.
Starting with "Thousand-Year Love" and "Lonely Night."
I even did an audition with that song,
so I was holding my breath while listening.
I thought, "Years of experience can't be beaten."
I closed my eyes and listened
- to the depth of the singing. / - I see.
