[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 4th, Forestella won the first part of the 2020 First Half King of Kings Tournament on KBS2's 'Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend' (hereafter 'Immortal Songs').

That day, 'Immortal Songs' was organized as the first part of the 2020 First Half King of Kings Tournament. The first part featured Nataejoo, Kim Kyungho, Monni, Purple Rain, Forestella, and Choi Jungwon.

The first stage of part one was taken by Nataejoo. Choosing Jang Yoonjung's 'Olleh,' Nataejoo heated up the stage with a fresh and lively performance. The second stage was Monni. Performing Cho Yongpil's 'Sad Beatrice' with powerful vocals, Kim Kyungho praised Monni, saying, "The ending, arrangement, and performance all matched perfectly."

This stage resulted in Monni, who said "I came aiming to win part one," defeating Nataejoo and securing one win.

The third stage was Purple Rain, who won on their first appearance. Vocalist Chae Bohun's last full group stage before enlistment, Purple Rain chose Lee Moonse's 'Forever with You.' Although Purple Rain revealed they were longtime fans of Monni, they confidently stated, "Respecting someone and competing with them are different things." However, Monni defeated Purple Rain again on this stage, taking their second win.

The fourth stage was Kim Kyungho, who chose Jung Jaewook's 'Goodbye.' Although the stage received high praise such as "It was a stage that went back and forth between heaven and hell" and "It was unique," Monni once again received the judges' choice, continuing their streak with a third win.

The fifth stage was Forestella. Choosing Jo Sumi's 'Champions,' Forestella's grand and moving performance led Yoyomi to comment, "In these difficult times for everyone, this stage delivered messages of courage, happiness, and hope to all." Forestella, happy just to have all four members on stage together after a long time, stopped Monni's four consecutive wins and secured one win.

The final stage was musical diva Choi Jungwon. Wearing a striking red dress and passionately singing Park Mikyung's 'An Unreasonable Reason,' Choi Jungwon presented a stage like a musical. However, the final winner of the 2020 First Half King of Kings Tournament part one was Forestella.

KBS2's music entertainment program 'Immortal Songs' airs every Saturday at 6:05 PM.
