[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 11th, KBS's 'Immortal Songs' aired Part 2 of the legendary Joo Hyunmi special, continuing from last week.

On this day’s 'Immortal Songs,' talented vocalist Sejeong, trending girl groups Weki Meki and IZ*ONE appeared, drawing attention with a fierce competition for the pride of girl groups.

When Jung Jae-hyung asked IZ*ONE, "There are many seniors here; have you thought about how many wins you want to achieve?" IZ*ONE replied, "We didn’t think about that at all. We were just satisfied and happy to be able to participate." The panelists then humorously complained, "You gave the same answer last time," causing laughter.

Sejeong highly praised the legend Joo Hyunmi, saying, "Not only is her appearance elegant, but her voice is also beautiful, and she still carries herself with dignity." Regarding her song choice, 'We Met Again,' she explained, "I was excited because I knew many songs from Joo Hyunmi’s list. Her songs are difficult to cover in a pop style, but I chose 'We Met Again' because I thought I could bring out its bright and lively feeling."

Weki Meki mentioned they heard Joo Hyunmi is the 'Idol of the Trot World,' adding, "She seems to have a charmingly nutty and sweet appeal." When the production team asked Weki Meki, who chose 'The Man from Sinsa-dong,' if they knew the song was released in 1988, everyone was surprised and commented, "For a song from 1988, it’s very sophisticated."

Sejeong, who sang 'We Met Again' on the first stage, won one match against IZ*ONE, who performed 'Unrequited Love,' but unfortunately lost in the battle against Yoo Taepyeongyang, who passionately sang 'Wait a Moment' as the third performer. Joo Hyunmi praised Yoo Taepyeongyang, saying, "His genre-crossing was so natural it was almost annoying."

Next, Jo Myungseop sang 'Itaewon Love Song' and defeated Yoo Taepyeongyang, earning one win while receiving the compliment from Joo Hyunmi, "He seems like the reincarnation of senior Hyun In." Then, Weki Meki, who performed 'The Man from Sinsa-dong,' received praise from Joo Hyunmi for their "sharp choreography." However, Jo Myungseop surpassed Weki Meki to claim his second win.

Finally, Jung Suyeon appeared and sang 'Yeongdong Bridge in the Rain.' After watching Jung Suyeon’s performance, Joo Hyunmi said, "I meet many famous people through this program," and shared her thoughts, "If juniors continue to sing and share songs like this, I hope my songs will remain even after decades."

Ultimately, Jo Myungseop, the winner of 'I Like the Song,' and Jung Suyeon, the winner of 'Voice Queen,' were declared joint champions.

KBS2’s entertainment program 'Immortal Songs ? Singing the Legends' airs every Saturday at 6:05 PM.
