"Immortal Songs: Singing the Songs of Legends."
Today's legend was a top 90s ballad singer.
Now, 28 years later, he continues to work hard
as a musician. With consoling,
relatable songs, he tugs at our heartstrings.
Today's legend, Yoon Jongshin!
(Legend Yoon Jongshin)
The reason why many say Mr. Yoon
is so amazing is because
he's withstood the test of time.
From April of 2010, for seven years now,
he's released a new song every month.
He calls it Monthly Jongshin.
It's nearly impossible to do.
If we ask any other songwriter,
he or she would say it's nearly impossible.
How much longer will you keep doing
the Monthly Yoon Jongshin?
Luckily, Monthly Yoon Jongshin
can't be forced to retire.
Right.
As long as I can play the guitar, or press piano keys,
I'd like to think I'd continue doing it.
(He'll always be a musician)
He doesn't add fluff and is very direct.
He's most honest about emotions we all feel.
Mr. Yoon's ballads are really manly,
but some are about examples of losers.

"Immortal Songs: Singing the Songs of Legends."
Since the legend is a ballad singer,
we have with us the top ballad singers today.
Our first guest is a singer
who hasn't been on in a long time.
Shin Yongjae is back.
(Singer that consoles you, Shin Yongjae)
(Voice that moves your heart and soul)
(Wins by facing others head on)
(Living textbook singer, Shin Yongjae)
Many people missed your performance.
Oh, really?
Since it's been so long, I talked to my agency
and prepared well for this, hiring contemporary
instrumentalists as well.
We have with us those
who have really made their marks on our show.
Is anyone stressing you out?
Anyone you want to go up against?
I saw their rehearsals.
Of these three men... (Careful)
Of these three men.
It felt like he meant, These punks are pretty good."
Me too.
But he didn't. He's so polite. "These three men."
Their ballad...
As a ballad singer, and because I'm a male too,
I did notice them a bit.
But right next to you is the fierce competitor ALi,
who you skipped over. You don't fear her at all?
He skipped Seokhoon too.
Oh.
He didn't mention ALi or Seokhoon.
You don't think I'm good, huh?
Am I that bad? (Angry)
I haven't seen you in so long yet you say that?
That's not what I meant...
They're already playing mind games from the start.
The only woman on the show today.
The madam of the House of "Immortal Songs."
ALi is back.
Doesn't it feel nice to be the only female singer?
Will this sort of thing happen again for me?
(ALi, the lone flower in bloom)
But it feels like you and Roy are both female singers.
ALi and Roy are the most beautiful here.
Based on looks, you two are both like the ladies here.
Roy's so pretty.
I'm being compared to you?
ALi, there's a lot of good male singers here.
Who do you like most?
Who? Me? Well...
(Shy) I guess...
Ro...
I guess... (The one next to me...)
No. Yongjae.
You cast an arrow to Yongjae.
Now, Yongjae must return that arrow.
ALi chose you.
Yongjae, do you like her back?
(What will Yongjae say?)
Umm...
(Arrow of love... But ALi loses)
How could you...
(#AnswersWithoutAnswering)
What do you mean?
I really love her as an artist.
He makes it clear that it's as an artist, nothing more.
The charming baritone singer.
Please welcome Kwak Jineon.
(Singer with devilishly charming appeal, Kwak Jineon)
(Winner of "Superstar K" season six, Kwak Jineon)
(Yoon Jongshin praised him highly)
(Wholesome voice)
(That tugs at your heartstrings)
(Kwak Jineon)
I'm sure there was a reason you came on today.
Though you refused before, you said yes this time.
Jongshin and I are friends
and I figured it would be a good opportunity
for me to come on today.
You sound like an actor.
How do you like low voices like his?
I can speak in a low voice too.
It's a great voice for entertainment shows.
Everyone talks in higher tones, so you focus on him.
Can you do any impressions?
The narrator or "VJ Special Forces."
But his voice is really high.
Let's hear it.
Jongshin here, Jongshin there. Everywhere Jongshin.
(Great!)
He's good.
He's good and he's funny.
(Reminds us of Jong Park huh?)
I'll draw for the first performance.
Dongyeop drew the first ball.
His performance was the talk of the town.
- Jeong Seunghwan? / - Roy?
Appealing, deeply plaintive voice with subtle emotions.
He won even though it was his first time on the show.
A unique, new age ballad singer.
The sentimental singer, Jeong Seunghwan.
(Number 1 - Jeong Seunghwan)
(First time on the show was the Uhm Junghwa special!)
(With a deeply moving ballad)
(He got his first win)
He was a Muay Thai fighter before becoming a singer.
Please welcome Jeong Seunghwan,
the Muay Thai ballad singer.
(Bring it!)
(Wow)
In the world of comedians, there's Kim Byeongman,
an entertainer good at martial arts.
In the world of singers, there's Jeong Seunghwan.
The Muay Thai fighter of ballad singers.
Let's do this one. It's been a while.
Say, "Let's take this outside."
Or rather, "Let's duke it out onstage."
Who would you like to compete against?
There's someone I came out to get.
Down with Music Farm!
Who? What? (Lee Juck and Kim Dongryul's agency)
Kwak Jineon.
Oh, down with Music Farm!
They're Antenna's rival.
Agency against agency.
- Mind if I say it? / - Not at all.
Let's duke it out onstage!
Nice.
Seunghwan, tell us how you plan to do.
I came on to say that real ballad singers
come from Antenna.
I'll do my best. Thank you.
Lee Juck and Kim Dongryul just got really serious,
tuning into our show from home.
They'll be really interested in this round.
Let's go, Jeong Seunghwan!
I'm singing Mr. Yoon's "Your Wedding."
I'm sorry to say this,
but it's got this loser-guy feel to it.
He goes to the wedding of the one he loved
and says he didn't realize how beautiful she was.
It's the saddest story ever.
I'll do my best to sing it as if it's my own story.
I hope you like it. Thank you.

(Restrained sadness, regret that deepens)
("Your Wedding" by Jeong Seunghwan)
Thank you.
(Seunghwan's ballad that seeps into your soul)
Seunghwan told it like a story,
and I realize what a seasoned singer he is.
ALi, what did you think?
How old is he?
I think he's 20.
He's 22, born in 1996.
The way I felt his feelings was like
when a guy first steps out in the real world
and goes to his ex's wedding.
That's how I think it felt.
He's only 20, so how did he do this?
Isn't singing that well cheating?
- It was like a TV drama. / - It was.
I'll draw for the second performance.
Will Jineon be next as Seunghwan wanted?
Everyone backstage is a great singer,
but this man is especially well-known.
However, he always gets a bad score at karaoke.
It turns out, everything he sings turns sad.
Even happy songs turn out sad,
so he gets bad scores on them.
The achingly sentimental ballad singer, Shin Yongjae.
(Number 2 - Shin Yongjae)
Shin Yongjae.
Minsu said you have to bring back
that trophy. (Yongjae's agency CEO)
- And you're up second. / - Wow.
Yongjae, tell us how you plan to do this.
I worked hard on this because it's my first time
in a while and my agency
spent a lot to provide me with great support.
I hope you enjoy it. Thank you.
Nice.
Rookie ballad singer Seunghwan was just up
and Yongjae is going to go get him.
Let's go, Shin Yongjae!
- Let's go! / - Let's go, Yongjae!
(Agency CEO) Minsu really wants me to win.
Recently, Sejun and Ben won the trophy, so he said
I had to also.
He wanted a sweeping win for all of us,
but who knows what will happen?
What will you be singing?
Sung Sikyung's "On the Street."
I can imagine the details in my head, like a movie.
It's ordinary but beautiful at the same time.
I worked hard on it since it's been so long.
I hope you enjoy it. Let's go!
("On the Street" / 2006)
(Title track of Sung Sikyung's fifth album)
(Song about missing girlfriend while taking a walk)
(Song topped many music charts on different channels)
(Top ballad song in the second half of 2006)
The second performance is by Shin Yongjae.
Hello. I'm Shin Yongjae. It's great to see you.
I really wanted to say that I'm a big fan of Mr. Yoon.
I'll be singing a song
Mr. Yoon Jongshin wrote and composed.
Sung Sikyung's "On the Street."
It's very famous, so I'm a bit nervous,
but I'll do my best.

("On the Street" by Shin Yongjae)
Thank you.
(Song that makes you long for that long-lost love)
Wow, Shin Yongjae...
I thought he was only good at R&B and soul,
but he did that well too.
There are falsetto points, so it's hard to sing.
Roy, what did you think?
While listening, I thought when technology advances
and we program a computer to sing the perfect song,
it would sound like this, with his voice and melody.
Yeah.
To compare it to Seunghwan's...
After his, the audience got choked up and grew silent,
and with Yongjae they were like, "Wow."
Like seeing something really powerful.
Who'll win?
I think it'll be Seunghwan.
Seokhoon, you're good at guessing scores.
Seokhoon's like a master at it.
I think the audience will like Yongjae more.
What will he get?
About 431.
That's good enough to take home the trophy.
That means everyone here loses.
Yes, me included.
(It was that good)
(Jeong Seunghwan vs Shin Yongjae)
"Your Wedding."
This was my first hit song.
My first album came out in 1995
and everyone thought I was a very tame singer.
I remember. Not someone who got a hit song.
I'd always have to show my ID to enter the station.
But after this song, I got on music charts and such.
And the lyrics are about going to an ex's wedding.
It's obnoxious. It could be considered obnoxious,
but despite that, it was very popular.
It was a groundbreaking song.
What'd you think of Seunghwan's performance?
I have lots to apologize to him about.
He was on my audition show
and I wonder why I didn't pass him to the next round.
You can say I disqualified him.
Even though Seungchul did more damage.
Regardless, I had a hand in it.
But he's such a great, sentimental singer.
I regret not letting him go to the next round.
I saw he joined Heeyeol's agency.
Right.
I saw him go there and thought he wouldn't do well,
but I realized I failed to see his worth.
I felt guilty, and seeing him sing live like this,
he made it a sadder song than when I sang it.
I felt moved. Thank you.
Shin Yongjae sang "On the Street."
It's such a famous song.
Sikyung hand-picked this song.
I was going to give it to Yangpa, actually.
- To Yangpa. / - I sent Sikyung
a few songs but he rejected them all.
He said he had to pick his own songs,
so he came over, told me to open my song files,
and listened to every single one.
After that day, that's how I sold my songs.
I'd invite the singer to my studio
and show them my songs as if showing them a catalog.
It's hard to sing the song differently from Sikyung.
I was shocked.
This is why everyone raves about Yongjae.
You sang the high notes in your own way.
I got chills hearing you sing. Thank you so much.
I wonder how the audience voted.
Show us how they voted!

(Audience chose Shin Yongjae with 427)
427!
(Yongjae wins with a whopping score)
Amazing!
Please give him a round of applause!
427.
Getting the highest score on the first competition,
Yongjae beats Seunghwan and takes his first win.
(Seokhoon's guess was close!) - 427. / - It's so high.
With that score, he may get the trophy.
427 is the highest score to
come out during the first round.
I'm sure everyone feels a lot of pressure
and that they're all very nervous in the green room.
I'll choose who'll go up against Yongjae.
How about ALi?
I have a bad feeling about this.
Everyone's really been looking forward to this.
They write the lyrics, compose and arrange their songs.
They've even sung for drama soundtracks.
The hidden gem band who's rising quickly to fame.
Jannabi.
(Number 3 - Jannabi)
Please welcome Jannabi.
Don't tell me you're called Jannabi
because of your zodiac signs.
That's right. We were all born in 1992.
We're the same age.
That's the highest score for the first round ever.
Then, we can sing without feeling pressured to win.
- Really? / - Really.
We'll forget about winning
and just do what we prepared to do.
Let's go, Jannabi!
(Hot band Jannabi is up)
Let's go!
A band will go up against the ballad singer.
Rock 'n' roll.
Mr. Yoon's songs are like breakup guidebooks sometimes
due to how they express emotions during breakups.
Seokhoon, did you ever act pathetically
while dating before you married your wife?
A guy usually turns into the biggest loser
when he's in the army. You get all ragged.
I enlisted really late.
I entered when I was 29, and I would fold her origami,
thinking it was a sign of my affections.
I folded like a thousand cranes.
I kept at it, which is how I got her to marry me.
That was the love story of you and your wife.
Yes.
- Was she happy to receive them? / - Of course.
You sure it wasn't more like this?
(I just want to keep taking them out)
Are there precious metals down there or something?
No, I remember she was really happy.
Seunghwan came back in as we were talking.
(Sentimental ballad singer Jeong Seunghwan is back)
You can express your anger with a Muay Thai move.
Imagine Yongjae standing right in front of you.
(Moving ballad singer Seunghwan's unexpected charm)
The other singers said that
your performance was heartwrenching.
Seokhoon...
Seokhoon was the only one who said
Yongjae would win with a big score.
Seunghwan shouldn't take that verbatim.
Go fold your cranes.
You said Yongjae would get 430.
What I meant was...
I love Seunghwan's singing.
Quit folding cranes and quit talking too.
You'll only get yourself in bigger trouble.
I thought about why I was trembling so hard,
then remembered that Yongjae and ALi
would be on "Immortal Songs" when I was younger
and I'd watch them on TV in high school.
And it suddenly hit me that I was on "Immortal Songs"
and I began trembling.
You should do a revenge rematch with Yongjae one day.
You can do it!
I'm curious when you felt like the biggest loser.
I once deleted a girl's number,
and then I wanted to call her so badly
but I couldn't remember her number.
I kept trying out the number combination
and everyone kept saying "Wrong number."
I saw the next day that I'd called a lot of numbers.
How many?
About 20 different combinations, all very similar.
But those who answered, not knowing the sad story,
probably thought, "Why does this weirdo keep calling?"
(Old loves are beautiful only in memories)
Hello. We're Jannabi.
- It's great to see you. / - Hello.
(Jannabi - "Yoon Jongshin made us who we are today")
(Jannabi, a band praised by Yoon Jongshin)
(Talented band who makes unique music)
(Same age friends! Look forward to their performance!)
Everyone on today is a really seasoned veteran,
and for us to sing alongside them is an honor.
We'll do our best to show you what we've got.
We'll be singing Lena Park's "My Day."
Lena Park sang it delicately
and we'll tap into that deep spot men don't often show.
It's deep down, hidden.
When men reveal that aspect, we get truly sad.
We'll reveal it to you.
It's our first time on the show,
so we're really nervous.
We'd be grateful if you cheered us on loudly.
Let's go, Jannabi!
("My Day" / 1998)

(That left a deep impression)
("My Day" by Jannabi) Thank you.
(Everyone's fallen deeply for Jannabi's performance)
They're very unique.
Jannabi will get a lot of love from now on, I bet.
At the end when he was singing with the choir,
I felt like I could hear someone yell "Hallelujah."
I like how raw that felt.
And it felt so masculine.
So, professor...
(Did I hear that right?)
Shall I use that name?
It seems to suit you. Professor Lee Seokhoon?
Who will win?
They'll get 430, in my opinion.
(Professor predicts Jannabi will win with 430)
Jannabi will beat Yongjae?
Yes.
- So that's what you predict. / - 430.
Jineon, what did you think?
I liked it because it wasn't completely masculine.
There was something feminine about it too,
which made it sexy.
Will they win?
But I doubt they'll win.
Yongjae was too good.
(Jannabi vs Shin Yongjae with 427)
I hear Mr. Yoon praised Jannabi a lot,
and today, I feel like I know why he did.
You did your first performance on our show
in front of Mr. Yoon. What did you think?
We were on Superstar K.
It felt a little bit like back then.
We actually got criticized then.
You were mistaken about them too, I see.
I said really awful things about them.
Even worse than with Seunghwan.
I said I didn't understand their style of music.
But I like them because their music isn't cliche.
I like that they do music that other people
wouldn't think of doing.
I wondered how they came up with this interpretation.
They never copy what previous singers do
and that's the appeal of this band.
Thank you.
I wonder how the audience voted.
Show us how the audience voted.
(Checking results)
(Jannabi vs Shin Yongjae with 427)
Will Yongjae, who got a very high score in the first
competition, get a second win with 427?
Or will the new band Jannabi beat Yongjae?
Who will win?
("Immortal Songs" top ballad singer, Shin Yongjae)
("Immortal Songs" newbie band, Jannabi)
(Audience chose Shin Yongjae with 427)
Shin Yongjae with 427!
With 427, since the score is so high,
Yongjae takes his second win.
(Shin Yongjae gets two wins in a row)
I'll draw for the fourth performance.
(Feeling lost)
(Oh no)
(Aged quickly from the stress)
They say people need to be ambitious,
but she's known as the overachiever of the music world.
She plays the piano and knows how to swim,
ski, snowboard and even how to play tennis.
(Guilty as charged...)
(Multi-talented athlete, ALi?)
She's always learning something new.
She says she's the happiest when she's singing onstage.

She's like Muhammad ALi.
I'll go fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee.

I bet Yongjae's shaking right now.
The madam of the House of "Immortal Songs"!
Let's go, ALi!
Let's go!
It's my first time on the show in 2017.
It's great to see you. I'm ALi.
I started competing on this show in 2011
and today's show is the most difficult yet.
It's that kind of song and dance.
(Shy, embarrassed)
A lot of male singers rearranged and sang "Instinct,"
enjoying it, but I wondered
how it'd be for a woman to sing it.
I felt a sexy message of seduction in the lyrics,
so I sang "Instinct" expressing a woman's desire.
I hope you like it. Let's go!

(Electrifying seduction that wakes your instincts!)
("Instinct" by ALi)
(Essence of desire, ALi)
Madam ALi's in a league of her own.
She's a seasoned vet.
She showed us how she leads the men onstage.
I've seen ALi on "Immortal Songs" before.
She always gets high scores.
The audience tended to go for ballads,
but she'd still do songs she could dance to
and beat out ballads.
I think she definitely has a chance of winning.
And she's gotten so pretty.
She's prettier than how I remember her.
How do you remember her?
She's just prettier today.
Okay, dude.
(Called him dude out of being flustered)
Did you just call me dude?
(You know what I mean, right, ALi?)
Seokhoon, what did you think?
Why do you keep sighing?
Because she's so pretty but you're already married?
No, not at all.
(Must you be such a romantic?)
(I'll remember to use that in the future!)
I thought that shows
the years she's honed her skills as a veteran.
I thought he said something else.
I thought he put her down.
- Come on! / - I was like, "Why is this ballad singer
such a potty mouth?"
(No way! We only say good things!) Veteran.
(ALi vs Shin Yongjae with 427)
What inspired you to write "Instinct"? Tell us briefly.
I wrote this when I turned 42.
As I was entering my 40s,
my instinctive needs began to dwindle,
and I wrote this song to awaken them.
ALi changed the song into a genre I couldn't sing
even if I tried.
- Indeed. / - It was amazing.
- ALi's just wonderful. / - Thank you.
My heart was racing. It was superb.
You put on so many different performances on the show,
and this seemed to be the highest caliber.
I was excited to do this performance
and a part of me wanted to just show you everything,
so I did something I don't normally do.
I figured I'd wake my instincts too.
That was my goal and I like the results.
But the first performance yielded a really high score
so I'm sure the others feel pressured.
What was it like backstage?
They told me to destroy Yongjae.
I lost to him on a different show.
(Sworn enemies!) So I told them
I really want to beat him this time and
this is my chance but I don't know how it'll turn out.
It's been a long time since I've last seen
you two side by side like this.
How did the audience vote?
Please show us!
(ALi vs Shin Yongjae with 427)
(Sentimental singer who beckons victory)
Will Yongjae, who beat Seunghwan and Jannabi,
beat ALi too and get his third win?
(Charismatic femme fatale who wakes your instincts)
(End-all-be-all unforgettably electrifying performance)
Madam ALi stepped up to beat Yongjae.
Will ALi get her first win?
(Explosive desire)
(Plaintive cry)
(Who won?)
(Audience chose Shin Yongjae with 427)
Shin Yongjae! Wow! Shin Yongjae...
(Unbeatable Yongjae gets three wins in a row!)
Yongjae and ALi! Thank you for great performances.
He got three wins in one fell swoop.
I'll now draw the fifth performance to go up.
Now, we have the three ballad singers left.
Lee Seokhoon, Roy Kim and Kwak Jineon.
As you may all know, while Hong Kyungmin
was preparing for an "Immortal Songs" performance,
he fell in love with a musician here and married her.
Is he going to bring up Seokhoon?
- Lee Seokhoon. / - Lee Seokhoon.
(Seokhoon has a similar relationship?) What's wrong?
On a dating show I was the host of,
this person met his better half and married her.
SG WANNABE's Lee Seokhoon!
(Number 5 - Lee Seokhoon)
(Sentimental ballad singer Lee Seokhoon)
I had a feeling Seokhoon would be up.
I felt he'd be called up now.
Dongyeop was the host of that show, right?
- Right. / - I see.
(Source: MBC) Hello! I'm Dongyeop,
the host of "Heart-Thumping Star Love Studio."
As soon as I saw her, I would've chosen Choi Seona.
She's very close to my most ideal woman.
(Congratulations! Lee Seokhoon & Choi Seona)
It's like destiny.
Tell us how you plan to do it today.
The audience just listened to really strong,
powerful songs up till now.
- But mine's laid back. / - I see.
It's best that I break this order up.
Nice. Let's go, Seokhoon!
Let's go, Seokhoon!
We have newcomers on the show, right?
Today is Jannabi's first performance.
I heard you have a lot of impersonations to show us.
Tell us about them.
It's impersonation of crows, a male and female one.
That won't be easy.
The male and female crow.
The harmony of a male and female crow couple.
- We'll converse. / - I'll talk to him.
I'm the female crow.
Shall we hear it?
(Male crow calling out for her)
(Female crow answering)
(Crying out to win her affections)
(In shock)
Hey! (Stop!)
I've never seen this sort of impression before.
Seunghwan will make it better with
something of his own.
Did you practice anything at home?
I can do the impression of a chick.
That's good.
Let's hear it.
(Peep peep)
(It sounds real)
That's like a real chick. (Chick Chiyeul joining in)
I can do it too.
When a guest does that, the host should
be like, "I can't do it."
- Let me do it again. / - You think we can't do it?
I can do it all but I pretend I can't.
(Becomes mute chick)
He's good.
That's how you do it.
Even if you want to do it,
as the host, you must pretend you don't know how to.
(It's hard)
(Chick sound only Seunghwan can make)
It's been a while. I'm SG Wannabe's Lee Seokhoon.
(Charming, refined ballad singer)
(Singer loved for his sweet singing, Lee Seokhoon)
How does it feel to be back on in so long?
I'm sure I said at the time that
I really wanted to sing
and I feel the same way today.
I'll be singing "Annie." It's my favorite song.
The original is a straight-up ballad,
but I made the emotions restrained.
The song's so amazing,
so I've always thought about how I would sing it
if I ever got the chance to.
I'll sing it, bringing you peace of mind
as you think of your "Annie" deep in your heart.
I hope you enjoy it.
("Annie" / 2000)

(Oh, my "Annie")
It was elegant. He was like a gentleman.
He looks so happy I want to ask him
if something great happened to him.
He's smiling happily, calling out to Annie.
Roy, what did you think?
I really respect this sort of performance.
I loved his facial expressions.
I figured he'd belt it out at this one point,
but he didn't, which made it have even more impact.
Seeing Seokhoon made me realize what poise was.
He changed the flow of the performances.
The audience felt more comfortable pressing
the button for his performance.
Jineon, don't you want to
smile onstage like that as you sing?
I really want to.
How does he sing so happily?
(Pure joy)
- It's hard to do. / - It's so awesome.
Can you sing your song while smiling?
While smiling.
♪ Between us ♪
That's scary.
♪ Between us ♪

Just smiling isn't enough to give off
that warm, Seokhoon vibe.
Wasn't that scary?
I told you it was hard.
Only Seokhoon can do it.
The last ones up, Jannabi.
Let's see you do this.
- Sing while smiling. / - Can we sing our song?
Yes, but while smiling a big smile.

Do a smiling crow.

(Lee Seokhoon vs Shin Yongjae with 427)
Mr. Yoon.
I remember you mentioning this long ago.
Was the eighth album that contained "Annie"
really after a breakup, expressing feelings you had?
Yes, it's been 20 years now.
I'm now happily married.
Right, you are.
Before, you were involved with many women but not now.
You were young then.
I broke up with someone I was seeing in my 20s
and during the toughest of times,
I made my eighth album. It was a bitter experience,
but that bitter experience brought me money and status.
Of everyone who's been on to sing,
you sang the song most like how I did.
I felt like you understood my feelings best.
Thank you.
My favorite song out of all your albums is "Annie,"
so I wanted to sing it if I ever got the chance.
I was happy I got this opportunity, so I tried my best.
Mr. Yoon said Seokhoon best
portrayed how he himself felt.
I wonder how the audience voted.
Please show us how you voted!
(Checking results)
("On the Street" by Shin Yongjae)

(Unrelenting third winning sweep by Shin Yongjae)
(Will he get a fourth win with 427?)
With 427, will Yongjae
continue his winning streak and pick up a fourth win?
(Sweet voice and smile asking for "Annie"!)
Sweet voice and smile, will the charming performance by
Seokhoon take its first win?
Who will win?
(Which performance moved the audience more?)
(Audience chose Shin Yongjae with 427) Shin Yongjae.
Returning to "Immortal Songs" for the first time in
almost a year, he takes four wins with 427.
Amazing!
I will now draw for the sixth and seventh performers.
The first singer looked young
and cheerful at the start of the show,
but he seems to have aged as it progressed.
(Does Roy look older than he really is?)
He looks older than his peers.
It must be Jineon.
His nickname is old boy Roy Kim.
Old boy Roy.
A sentimental singer oozing with charms, Roy Kim!
(Number 6 - Roy Kim)
Finally, I'm up!
He's on his fourth win now.
Roy, it's about time you stop him, right?
You should.
I should.
He sounds confident. (That's a breath of fresh air)
Tell us how you plan to do this.
I worked hard, so I hope you enjoy it.
I'll sing it so that when I step down from the stage,
I'll have no regrets.
Sentimental singer, Roy! Let's go!
I'll be back.
Let's go! Let's go!
He showed us the epitome of sentimental singing.
Please welcome back Lee Seokhoon.
How do you smile as you sing...
While you're looking at the audience...
(Not like that, like this!) Like your smile is growing.
How do you do that?
It's not something you can practice.
We all tried, but it didn't work.
It looked unnatural.
(Hot mess)
Do you normally smile when you sing?
- Yes. / - You were like that before too?
Did you sing SG WANNABE's saddest songs,
smiling the whole time?
That's why they didn't suit me.
(Other members in sad mode)
(But I'm the angel of smiles)
The top ballad singers of Korea are all here.
So I was wondering,
what do you sing when you go to karaoke?
Seunghwan, what do you sing?
Do you go to karaoke?
Yes, when I go with friends, I usually sing
songs by Big Bang.
Wait. I thought you'd sing ballads but you don't?
Okay then. Show us and dance to it too. (Now?)
A round of applause, please.
We've never seen this from Seunghwan.
You're at a karaoke place.
I can dance well if I practice the choreography,
but not off the cuff.
You prepared a dance though, didn't you?
Are you ready?
But he said he prepared something.
Please turn it on at about one minute and five seconds.
(Seems like he trained hard for this) He remembered
- the time exactly. / - He did learn it.
How else would you know the time?
(As said, starting at 1 minute and 5 seconds)
(Giggle)
(Antenna's dancing machine)

(Looks a bit like...)
(My son's karate belt test event.avi)
(Parent / Worried he'll get it wrong)
(Finishes it perfectly, exactly as he practiced)
(Top dance student at Antenna)
This is the first time I've felt like
Seunghwan is actually as young as he is.
It was adorable.
Does antenna really have a dance teacher?
Yes, we do.
That's one loss for Music Farm.
- We don't have one. / - You don't?
We don't. I lose.
Jineon, can you dance for us?
You said you won't let antenna beat you.
Lately, I've been thinking...
I don't go to a lot of clubs,
but the point is to be cool while dancing at clubs.
Yeah, I like that.
Is the music ready?
Cue the music.
(Calm and collected gaze)
At first, you walk in
and make eye contact as you pass by.
You dance with your back to them just like this.
(Just like that / Chic & Confident)
(Totally in love)
(Ending it coolly too) Like this.
(Unexpectedly appealing)
(Ballad singer's unexpected charm) He surprised me.
"Immortal Songs" viewers,
it's been a while. I'm Roy Kim. It's great to see you.
(Sang at the late Kim Kwangseok special)
(Sentimental singer Roy Kim is back after a year)
What do you think of Mr. Yoon's music?
All the songs are very emotionally honest.
At times, it seems pathetic.
At times, it feels restrained,
so no matter what you sing, you feel you understand,
and that's what his music's like.
The song "That Day Long Ago" is a really popular
song by Mr. Jongshin.
There's that one special person in your heart, right?
Please think of that person as you listen.
If you listen to the lyrics,
you'll feel a connection to them.
In particular, those in their late 20s
will feel the connection.
Here is "That Day Long Ago."
("That Day Long Ago" / 1993)
(Included in Yoon Jongshin's third album)
(Lyrics and melody reminiscing about old girlfriend)
(Men related to it a lot and the song was a huge hit)
(Since it begins with a line about)
(Getting out of high school)
(The song makes a comeback every graduation season)
The sixth performance is by Roy.
I'm really nervous,
but I'm also really happy that I get to sing in front
of Mr. Yoon, whom I respect so much.
Today, I'll be singing "That Day Long Ago."
I'm sure there's that special someone
who always has a special place deep inside your heart.
I'd be grateful if you thought of
that person as you listened.

I think he was wiping away tears at the very end.
Or it might have been snot.
It's hard to say. (Touchingness destroyed)
ALi, what did you think?
Roy has such a beautiful tone,
so we can always count on him for a good show.
A singer you can count on.
And Mr. Yoon's voice seems to be
gentle and wholesome while singing.
Jineon, what did you think?
First off, it was weird seeing him so serious.
He's always joking around, then onstage,
he changes completely and sings like that.
What surprised us even more is
we thought you were very quiet
and thought you'd only talk about music,
but you today, you were playful
and liked to joke around.
We never knew that about you.
Come hang out more.
After being on today, I feel like I should.
I think I can do it.
(Confidence has gone up)
It was alright, right?
I just need to be a little silly is all.
Yeah, you just twerked twice.
Nice.
I'll work hard.
(Roy Kim vs Shin Yongjae with 427)
Roy sang "That Day Long Ago,"
and every year around graduation time,
people think of this song.
This song was...
To be honest, it's my first time sitting
in the audience hearing my songs back to back.
Of course.
I wouldn't hear that song in the audience.
It's my first time.
"Immortal Songs" is the first program to do
so many of my songs for such a long period of time.
The song "That Day Long Ago" really felt different.
I sang that song the year Roy was born.
I released the song in 1993
and my early 20s flashed through my mind.
I thought about why people think of this song as
my signature song and I realized
it has a different feeling than the others.
You feel that too?
I'm sure singing Mr. Yoon's song was special,
especially since it's this song.
I'm 25 years old right now,
and he was my age when he sang it.
You sang this song when you were 25?
Let's take a look at the screen
and see how different it is.
1993 was a really tough year.
Roy, you said in your interview before the show
that you wanted to win today.
That's what I was told.
What went through your head as you
watched Yongjae's winning streak?
I figured he'd keep going till the end.
That's what you thought.
- All the way? / - Yes.
Yongjae you're not one to show
how badly you want to win either.
But naturally, you have some desire to win, right?
Well, Roy was the one who I predicted would win.
Oh, Roy?
- You saw his rehearsal? / - Yes, I was so moved.
Yongjae thought, "Roy is going to win"
and Roy thought, "I'm going to win."

Okay, I'll go up there and just bawl.
I'll bawl.
- He will bawl. / - He'll cry.
Tell us how you plan to do.
Since it's the last song, I hope you just
relax, listen and get home safely.
Thank you. I'll work hard.
Great.

Right.

He was about as far as he is now too.
- Yes, exactly what you're used to. / - Right.
I know that he's rooting for me now.
I know that a bit now,
so I feel at ease. That's what I think.

(Green room is quiet and moved)
ALi, What did you think?
I want to hear that as an album.
It felt like a place of reprieve.
I'm grateful he sang this sort of song.
He's young and this is such a feat, I'm proud of him.
It's hard to sing so comfortably without
straining oneself on this program.
I learned a lot.
The song is really lingering inside me.
I was sad the song ended.
I wanted to hear it for longer.
I was really moved.
(Roy Kim with 432 vs Kwak Jineon)
You wrote this song with Yu Heeyeol, right?
Yes.
People said it sounded a bit like
a gospel in the beginning of the song.
I hear you were inspired by a gospel actually.
The "How shocking" part was in a gospel.
It goes, "How shocking is your love, Lord."
That's how the gospel goes
and I really loved that part.
When you fall in love and you change,
the song describes how surprising that change is.
While being a judge on Superstar K,
Jineon was one of the musicians I loved most,
so I wondered how he'd change "Reincarnation."
Now, I see he's someone I really covet.
I was shocked at how good the arrangement was.
He's a superb musician.
He did it so well.
Thank you.
Mr. Yoon, how did it feel to be the show today?
I realized, "So this is how it feels
to hear those lyrics and that melody in the audience."
Then I thought about how moved I was to have
younger singers sing my songs to me.
I felt so overwhelmed with emotions that I really want
to thank the "Immortal Songs" team and all my staff.
Roy, what did you think of Jineon's performance?
I've always been a fan of his ever since
I first saw him on TV.
I love his baritone voice and I've tried to copy it.
No one can copy that kind of voice,
and though he can't sing that high,
he can move the audience so much more,
so I really envy his singing skills.
Th-Thank you.

the Yoon Jongshin special.
We only have the final result left.
Roy dramatically beat Yongjae by getting 432.
Will he take home the trophy?
Or will Jineon, who did the final performance,
steal that trophy away?
The audience' final decision.
Show us the results.

(The Late Comedian Kwak Gyuseok) A singer like
a nightingale.
She lived in the 60s and people called her
the Korean nightingale.
She's now been a singer for 60 years!
Singer Park Jairan!
I've never gotten any botox.
I'm all-natural.
I live a really happy life.
That's how to maintain your youth like me.
(Fantastic performance off of New York Broadway)
(Song that takes us back to the good old days)
(Wide variety of performances are in store)
A voice that'll make you happy, back after a long time.
Park Heykyoung.
(A voice you missed)
(Various performance of contemporary and gugak)
(And a moving message)
You sang it wonderfully and so very well.
Thank you.
(Songs of hope are on the way!)
(Celebrating 60 years)
(The Voice we Missed, Park Jairan)
(Audience chose Roy Kim with 432) Roy Kim!
Amazing!
Please congratulate him.
You can stand there.
Congratulations.
Thank you. Thank you.
It's your first time winning.
Yes.
You looked to be crying at the end of the performance.
The tears kept coming, and even more so because
of the lyrics.
I tried hard not to cry, telling myself not to.
Mr. Yoon, you probably didn't hear,
but Roy stepped down from the stage
and said he'd go to Mystic if he won.
In that case, I'll get us a lawyer and go through
the proper procedures with his current agency
and bring him to mine with no problems.
- You'll go out of your way? / - Yes.
What I realized about Roy today was that
he's a singer who knows how to weave
the narrative of his life in song.
I hope we can hear Roy's story in
his 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, too.
Thank you.
