(The person you have missed for 35 years is here) Now, (Now,) I have forgotten his name. (Now, I have forgotten his name) But something remains in my heart. (But something remains in my heart) That's his eyes and lips. (That's his eyes and lips) (Singing Poet) (Park Inhee) (She debuted as the member of) (The first folk music duo in Korea, Toi Et Moi) (With her clear, pure voice, and poetic sensitivity,) (Sentimental melodies and beautiful lyrics,) (She sang of life and love) (As a romantic queen of folk music) (After 35 years, folk singer, Park Inhee is back) (With "Immortal Songs") (A beautiful meeting with the missed artist begins now) (The comeback after 35 years, Singing Poet, Park Inhee) (The returned trio, V.O.S) (The vocalist with a beautiful voice, Son Seungyeon) (A vocalist with immortal talents, Park Kiyoung) (The lovebirds of musical, Kim Sohyun and Son Junho) (The singer with a melodious voice, Lee Sejoon) (The great handsome duo, Nam Kyungjoo and Lee Hyunwoo) (The best trio in folk music, Jatanpung) (Immortal Songs, Singing the Legend) Immortal Songs, Singing the Legend.
She is back on the stage after 35 years. This is the singing poet, Park Inhee. (Singing Poet, Park Inhee) ("Endless Road" by Park Inhee) ♪ When trees on the street ♪ ♪ Shed their layers ♪ ♪ On the leaves that fall ♪ ♪ I see your face ♪ ♪ When I move closer to see that face ♪ ♪ You leave me and drift away ♪ ♪ What an endless road ♪ ♪ A road that I walk until this season ends ♪ ♪ For me to remember a forgotten face ♪ ♪ How long would our distance have to be? ♪ ♪ When wind brushes against my cheeks ♪ ♪ I want to go back to the days we were together ♪ ♪ What an endless road ♪ ♪ A road that I walk until this season ends ♪ ♪ The road that I walk ♪ (She recited the poem again after 35 years) ("Endless Road" by Park Inhee) (Everyone gives a standing ovation) Wow, Inhee.
Her voice is best described as a meditative voice. Her voice makes me reflect on many things. This is her first performance after 35 years. (It's the immortal song we listened to after 35 years) "Endless Road." I am curious to hear how you feel about performing again after 35 years of absence. It feels like I'm being punished. On my way to the concert hall today, I saw cherry blossoms for the first time this year. I was thrilled to see the cherry blossoms, and I was excited to meet the audience – and to meet you today. / – Goodness. Could you step back a little? – Thank you for saying that. / – What's going on? Please have a seat. Goodness. – Have you been in the States? / – Yes. Even though you are visiting Korea for a short time, you agreed to join us on "Immortal Songs" today. I've wanted to participate on "Immortal Songs". – Thank you. My dream came true.
/ – Thank you. (Her dream came true!) There was a time when the radio was my only friend. I remember her singing voice that I heard on the radio. – Her voice is the same as before. / – Really? Her voice reminds us that a calm lake can resonate in you more so than a sea. Not only "Endless Road," there are remarkable songs such as "White Shell" and – "Wanderer" that we sang. / – "Fire In The Open Air." ♪ With fire in the open air ♪ When I was in middle and high school, we sang many of Park Inhee's songs whenever we played the guitar – by the beach. / – That's right. I think most men of the older generation learned how to play the guitar because they were inspired by Park Inhee. – Did you, Uncle? / – That's how we remember… Jaehyung is very excited now. Is it why you learned it, Uncle? He's so happy to be reminded – of his childhood. / – Uncle. I saw him getting teary. – Is it because of the memories? / – Definitely.
All right. I think this group is perfect for today's Park Inhee Special. Here is Jatanpung! (Jatanpung) – We haven't seen them in a while. / – That's right. – Have you been well? / – How have you been? Actually, – when I was a member of Four Men, / – Yes. our first performance was singing as Jatanpung's guest singer. They helped me a lot when I debuted. When they came to our concerts, they stood out more than us. – Really? / – Yes. I am very happy that all singers who were guests to our concerts became successful. We look forward to your amazing folk song performance. (A beautiful folk song performance by Jatanpung) Today's next performer is the legendary figures of musicals in Korea. They starred in "Mamma Mia!" Here are Nam Kyungjoo and Lee Hyunwoo.
(His junior colleagues are standing up to welcome him) – Standing ovation. / – They are like the legends – to current musical singers. / – Of course. – They're the legendary singers. / – That's right. – This is your first time here. / – Yes. How do you feel? Are you nervous? Actually, I am here to enjoy it. I wasn't sure whether it was okay to introduce you as a group. Are you performing together in a musical? Yes, we're both performing in a musical called, "Mamma Mia!" There are three father characters in the musical. We are the fathers. – You're the fathers in the musical. / – I see. I see him every day these days. Are you going to dance today? You will find out. They prepared something. These two legendary singers might surprise us today. We look forward to their performance. (We look forward to your performance!) These singers are back as a whole group to "Immortal Songs" after seven years.
Here is V.O.S! Hello. How do you feel about performing together after a long time? I feel supported, and it's great that we compensate for what each other lacks. It's been a long time since all of you got together. (It's been a long time since all of you got together) Can you do vocal mimicry? I think Kyungrok's mimicry of Cho Yongpil's voice is the best. Please do it for us. I thought I had to prepare something as we are coming back after seven years. – What did you prepare? / – I prepared something. What is it? When I sing "Bounce" by Cho Yongpil… – Do you know what a djembe is? / – Yes. He will be a human djembe. – Use your body as a djembe? / – Yes. Do you mean the sound of a djembe? This will remind you of real djembe sound. I've never seen anyone showing us something that needs much space. (An unidentifiable dance movement) ♪ If she turns around ♪ ♪ We might make eye contact ♪ – Jiheon, open your eyes.
/ – ♪ My heart pounds ♪ – See how people are reacting. / – ♪ I'm afraid ♪ ♪ She will find out ♪ Look what you've done. Go back to your seat. What was that? – Well… / – He felt pressured to do something, but he was very embarrassed. He had his eyes closed! That was cute. You seem confident with your members. We look forward to your performance. Thank you. They are the official couple that represents "Immortal Songs". Here is a musical singer couple, Kim Sohyun and Son Junho. (Son Junho and Kim Sohyun) – We haven't seen you in awhile. / – Sohyun. – Yes? / – Long time no see. – Right. / – Why didn't you appear on the show? It was because of Y. – They did for a long time. / – Do you mean Y? Junho has been great whenever he appears as a member of Y. – Were you jealous? / – To be honest, I was very happy that he won at first. I wanted to give him a big hug, but he didn't come home that day. (He didn't come home that day) – I was so happy.
/ – Did you go back home late? Our son is only five years old. – He asked why I wasn't on the show. / – Right. Then, my heart started to pound and I asked myself, "What am I?" (What am I?) I'd like to ask you to make peace between you sometime today. We look forward to your performance. (We look forward to the couple's performance) I will now pick our first performer.
(Who will be the first performer?) (Hello!) You waited them for a long time. So did I. This spring is going to be sweeter than ever because these three men. They have come together after seven years. This vocalist group came back with stronger talents. It's V.O.S! (V.O.S) – Let's go, V.O.S! / – Go for it! (V.O.S is going to prepare for their performance!) – See you later. / – You can do it! (After a seven-year hiatus,) (They're performing together again) (Choi Hyunjoon, Park Jiheon, and Kim Kyungrok) – Hello, we're V.O.S. / – Hello, we're V.O.S. We finally are back as a whole after seven years. It's good to see you. We are singing "A Promise" today. To express the value of promises to the audience, we added more vocals to the song. We will sing it in a passionate tone. The song touched our heart personally. Even though the song may sound tragic, we agreed on how important and meaningful the promise is to us.
(A Promise is from the debut album of) (The first folk duet, Toi Et Moi) (Along with beautiful lyrics and guitar playing) (The song became popular due to the harmony of) (Park Inhee and Lee Pilwon) Here comes the first performer, V.O.S! (The first performance by V.O.S) – Hello, we're V.O.S. / – Hello, we're V.O.S. (We're V.O.S) It's nice to meet you. It's been a long time. We will sing "A Promise" which she sang when she was a member of Toi Et Moi. It's "A Promise." It's been long since the last time we performed as a whole. Are you happy to see us? – Yes! / – Thank you.

(They've kept their promise to sing as a group again) (After seven years) Jiheon and others did so well. What I felt while watching their performance was that all three members have found their place and that they each fulfilled their own role very well. Kyungjoo, what did you think? – I will now / – Yes? pick the second performer. Dongyeop will now pick the second ball. (He has his arm around her) (Oh, gosh!) For the second performer, most people… Right. Okay. Most people turn off the lights when they sleep, right? I heard some people sleep with the lights on.
But this singer joked that she sleeps with the lights on because the light keeps turning off whenever she performs on "Immortal Songs" these days. So she jokes that she at least wants the lights in her room to be on. Let's see if her light remains on or not today. It's the small giant on the stage, Park Kiyoung. (Park Kiyoung) Kiyoung always shows us the best performances. – Let's go. / – Good luck. – You can do it. / – Go for it! (A high five to wish her good luck) Go for it. – I hope she will make it. / – Good luck. Let's introduce our next performer. She's like a daughter of "Immortal Songs" now. – Son Seungyeon is here with us. / – Hello. (Son Seungyeon) A video on your rapping is popular these days. – Really? / – I released a song recently, – and most part is rapping. / – That's awesome. When I was practicing that part, I found it easier to slow down – after doing it faster than usual. / – Right. – I practiced it in a fast version. / – Then, can we – hear the rapping live today? / – Originally, it's…
♪ Please leave so that I'll never see you again ♪ Make it three times faster. That was about 96 bpm. – Really? / – If you make it two times faster, that would be about 180 or 190 bpm. I'll try it. (Double speed) That's it. (Wow!) I think you are as good as Outsider. – Right. / – I think you can beat him. – I prefer it faster. / – Really? She needs to release the album again then. Why would you say it's better? (She's a talented musician who can even rap) I prepared the song, "As Time Passes" today. The song was made by adding melodies to Park Inhwan's poem.
When I told my mom that I am going to sing "As Time Passes," she was happy that I chose the amazing song. ("As Time Passes" was originally sung) (By Hyeon In in 1959) (In 1976, Park Inhee rearranged the song,) (And it became popular) (Lee Jinseop composed the song by adding the melodies) (To Park Inhwan's poem) (The song is still loved today) Here comes the second performer, Park Kiyoung. (The second performance by Park Kiyoung) ("As Time Passes" by Park Kiyoung) ♪ Right now ♪ ♪ Your eyes and lips are in my heart ♪ ♪ Even when it rains and the wind blows ♪ ♪ I can't forget the night ♪ ♪ We had under the streetlight outside ♪ ♪ Love may go but memories stay ♪ ♪ Lakeside in the summer, park in the autumn ♪ ♪ Leaves fall onto the bench ♪ ♪ Leaves turn into soil ♪ ♪ Though the leaves ♪ ♪ Cover our love and make it disappear ♪ ♪ It's still ♪ ♪ In my cold heart ♪ ♪ In my cold heart ♪ ♪ Love may go but memories stay ♪ ♪ Lakeside in the summer, park in the autumn ♪ ♪ Leaves fall onto the bench ♪ ♪ Love may go but memories stay ♪ ♪ Lakeside in the summer, park in the autumn ♪ ♪ Leaves fall onto the bench ♪ ♪ Leaves fall ♪ ♪ Though the leaves ♪ ♪ Cover our love and make it disappear ♪ ♪ It's still ♪ ♪ In my cold heart ♪ ♪ In my cold heart ♪ ♪ In my cold heart ♪ (The dreamy yet sorrowful song,) ("As Time Passes" by Park Kiyoung) I remember "As Time Passes" and love the song as well.
It's a masterpiece. It was transformed into a new song. IU was famous for her three stages of high-pitched singing. I think Kiyoung showed five stages of high-pitched singing. I was reminded of the painting, Munch's "The Scream." ("The Scream" by Munch) I was reminded of that. – It had a profound beauty. / – A profound beauty. – It was splendid. / – It was powerful. It reminded me of a passionate love you have in 20s.
– That's right. / – I hope that I'm not up next. (I hope that I'm not up next) – Is it much of a burden for you? / – Yes, kind of. Four stages of singing is fine, but five stages of singing is too much. (Five stages of singing is too much) I think the mood was perfect. Singing isn't all about the voice or melodies. It should create a certain mood. – A certain sentiment. / – Yes. She is an immensely seasoned singer. – She is sturdy. / – I agree. (V.O.S versus Park Kiyoung) "A Promise" by V.O.S. It was released in 1970 as the song in the debut album of Toi Et Moi. They were the first Korean mixed folk duet, – and its name was Toi Et Moi. / – That's right. Back when we performed as Toi Et Moi, we used to sing with two acoustic guitars. We performed as Toi Et Moi for about a year and were unable to get back together. I heard that you got back together after seven years. Congratulations. – Thank you. / – Thank you.
In the song, the lyrics say, "The promise we made to never forget each other." I'm really thankful to you for bravely getting back together and showing us a good performance. – Thank you. / – Thank you. – Thank you. / – Thank you. Next, – "As Time Passes" is / – Yes. a real masterpiece, too. In 1959, Hyeon In released the song, but I believe that your version of the song was most beloved. Kiyoung's version is completely different. Many performers rearrange the songs differently from their original version for their performance. Weren't you surprised? As I watched "Immortal Songs" in the States, I wanted to be on this program for the same reason. The performers rearrange the songs amazingly. They are as great and talented as the performers in the world. It felt like watching a whole drama. It was entrancing. Thank you. Let's see who the audience has chosen. Let's see the result! (V.O.S versus Park Kiyoung) Will V.O.S be able to win with their perfect harmony? Will she be able to break her losing streak? Will Kiyoung take her first win? – Let's see.
/ – Let's see. (Who will be the winner?) (Park Kiyoung) Park Kiyoung. (She broke her losing streak) With a score of 389, Kiyoung has finally – takes the first win. / – Right. Now, I will pick our third performer that will go against Kiyoung. (Who will be the third performer?) I think the audience is open to new versions of the songs. I think the audience is open-minded today. Yes, musically speaking. (But still, we'd like to pass) Next performers are really magnificent. I am sure you know they guarantee the success for whatever musical they appear in Korea. (Wow!) (It's our turn) Their singing as well as acting skills are also irrefutable. Just their presence itself is enough to dominate the stage which shows their intense charisma. The leading roles in the musical, "Mamma Mia!" They are Nam Kyungjoo and Lee Hyunwoo. (Nam Kyungjoo and Lee Hyunwoo) Hyunwoo, you just said before that you wished not to go up after her. Are you all right? Such is life.
Is that right? Kyungjoo is the legend of the Korean musical field. He's the pioneer of dance music – with the song "Dream." / – Yes, he is. ♪ When I close my eyes ♪ The two promised to perform together. It's the performance of two legends, Nam Kyungjoo and Lee Hyunwoo. – Good luck. / – Good luck. You can do this! – Good luck. / – Go for it! Today's legend Park Inhee performed as Toi Et Moi, marking the first mixed duo in Korea. She is also called, the singing poet or the first generation folk song diva. I would like to ask you if you have such a nickname or if you want one any.
First, Inbong. What kind of nicknames did you have? – Me? / – Yes. – He performed when he was so young. / – He said, "Me?" There's only one Inbong here. – Inbong? / – Inbong? – Where are you? / – Inbong? Next patient, Mr. Kang Inbong? I think it would be difficult for Inbong to recall his nicknames as it was long ago. You were the youngest of Family of Little Star when you were 13 years old. Also you were the youngest applicant for the Civil Service Examination.
You passed the preliminary exam which made you called a prodigy. That's not right. It wasn't the Civil Service Examination but the national bar exam. And I didn't pass the preliminary exam. – Did you just take the exam? / – I just took the exam. – He's the youngest applicant. / – Yes. If you're just the youngest applicant and you didn't pass the preliminary exam, Minsu can do that, too. – Him, too. / – He can apply. (Can I apply, too?) (He helped make musical popular) (More than anybody else did) (He's the legend of Korean musical, Nam Kyungjoo) (One day, a surprise wedding invitation) (From his daughter arrives) (It turns out) (More than one dad have been invited) It's been so long since I last appeared on television.
I gladly agreed to be on the show because I thought it'd be very exciting. I look forward to having fun on the stage with my junior colleagues. Folk music itself is pleasantly simple. We're going to make the performance like a party. I think we'll have pleasant four minutes on stage. We'll sing Park Inhee's "Wanderer." ("Wanderer" was rearranged) (And released by Park Inhee in 1976) (The original song, "Vagabondo") (Was released in 1970 by Nicola Di Bari) (The song matches really well) (With Park Inhee's clear voice tone) (Because of the huge popularity of this song,) (She was cast as a host of a radio program) The third performers, Nam Kyungjoo and Lee Hyunwoo.
(The third performance by Nam Kyungjoo and Lee Hyunwoo) (Musical, "Mamma Mia!," Nam Kyungjoo and Lee Hyunwoo) Hello, we're currently performing in the musical, "Mama Mia!" I'm Nam Kyungjoo. – I'm Lee Hyunwoo. / – Nice to see you. (They are glowing) I used to sing and listen to this song a lot when I was little. We prepared the song called, "Wanderer." I think this will be a very precious time for both Kyungjoo and me. It'll be like a present. Thank you.

Thank you. That was great! (The stage seems to be a playground to these two men) Without a lot of experience, you can't really have fun on stage.
I feel like they really enjoyed the stage. It looked like this. Some company managers started to have fun at a staff dinner party after a while. At first they'd refuse to sing or dance, but later, they'd finally agree to perform. You could see the chemistry between the two. They're grown-ups, but they were very cheerful and happy. Junho, what did you think about the performance? I wondered how they'd perform. They were true to themselves like they always perform. I was so impressed. They were able to make "Immortal Songs" their show. They overpowered it and made the performance with their colors. I wondered how long it'd take me – to get to that level. / – I know. No matter what kind of stage it is, they look so comfortable on it. That's difficult to do without experience. Right. While we're talking, V.O.S came back after showing their wonderful performance. (He's about to cry) You were really great. The look on your face doesn't look very positive. – I'm confused.
/ – Pardon? I feel confused. What do mean by that? I don't know if I should cry or smile. I'm confused. – I see. / – You were good. It's been a while since we last sang together. We didn't discuss when we would turn – to look at each other. / – Okay. But at some point, we were all looking at each other's eyes. – With Jiheon? / – Yes. When we were having those moments, I realized that even though we did not perform together for a while, we still cared a lot about one another – and we missed one another.
/ – Just like the lyrics. It made me really happy. (Kyungjoo and Hyunwoo versus Kiyoung) All right. It was originally an Italian song. Inhee wrote the lyrics – and released the song. / – Yes. How did you like it? I envy you so much. How could you be free of stage fright and show people everything you have? Shall I call it the nerve? I want to learn from you. I have a concert coming up, and I'm still nervous as well as excited. – Is that so? / – Yes. You should sing duet from time to time. I see that your fans are here behind you. – Do you have a concert coming up? / – Yes. Before this beautiful April goes by, I'd like to meet you and say hello in person. Starting from April 30th, it begins at the Olympic Park in Seoul. I'm going on a national tour. I'm going to have concerts with people who missed me and make it like having a conversation with them.
Dongyeop, please come to the concert. Let's see the result. Let's see who the audience has chosen. (The result is) (Kyungjoo and Hyunwoo versus Kiyoung) It's a battle between two completely different performances. Will Kiyoung win twice in a row with the score of 389? Will Kyungjoo and Hyunwoo win against Kiyoung? – Let's see! / – Let's see! (Let's see!) (A fun performance versus a dreamy performance) (Who will be the winner?) (Nam Kyungjoo and Lee Hyunwoo) Nam Kyungjoo and Lee Hyunwoo won. (Their cheerful performance) (Moved the audience's hearts) Park Kiyoung is congratulating them. – My goodness. / – What an unexpected result! Kyungjoo. – It's thanks to you that we won. / – Don't say that. It's thanks to your spin that we won.
I see a trend here. All performers took a win against the previous performers. That's right. It's a nice trend. I think it will be a good idea to perform right now. If you perform right now, you can secure a win. Make sure you get chosen. – Can we perform one more time? / – One more time. You want to perform one more time? – My goodness. / – The timing is perfect. – This is the best timing. / – Now, Dongyeop is choosing the fourth performer. (Anxious) In the past, (In the past,) these two stuck together no matter where they went. However, the husband of this couple recently became the final winner without any help of the wife. (He became the final winner!) Shocked and inspired, the wife showed cute fits of jealousy.
They are the lovebirds of "Immortal Songs". They are Kim Sohyun and Son Junho. (Kim Sohyun and Son Junho) (What should we do?) It's a match between couples. The pair of men and the married couple compete against each other. – My goodness. / – It's been a while since Sohyun visited the show, so I can't wait to see her perform. We hoped to avoid – competing against Kyungjoo. / – He is their senior.
We desperately hoped we wouldn't perform before or after them. Like Hyunwoo said earlier, such is life. Will you lose then? We will win. – You shouldn't waste the effort. / – That's right. – We are the married couple! / – The married couple! (We are the married couple) (The lovebirds had promised to win the trophy together) (However) – We are Y! / – Y! (Junho had a sudden change of heart) (Instead of his wife,) (He joined Y to win the trophy!) (Will the lovebirds make up) (For their relationship today?) Our success will result in Y's success as well. Preparing for today's performance, I realized once again that it's nice to sing with my wife. It's nice. The song we have prepared to sing today is Toi Et Moi's "Between The Missed Ones." Since we are musical singers, it's hard for us to make the song simple. It was nice to learn how to sing with pleasant yet simple voices. ("Between The Missed Ones" is a song) (From Toi Et Moi's second album) (It was popular) (Because Park Inhee composed it and wrote the lyrics) (It's a masterpiece) (With their fantastic harmony and pure romance) (This album is known as the most well-made folk album) Here come the fourth performers, Kim Sohyun and Son Junho.
(Kim Sohyun and Son Junho) – Hello, I am Son Junho. / – Hello, I am Kim Sohyun. – It's nice to meet you. / – It's nice to meet you. It has been a while since our last performance together, so we are very nervous. Please give us your support. The song we will sing is "Between The Missed Ones." Thank you.

For their performance, they mixed Toi Et Moi's "Between The Missed Ones" and Concierto De Aranjuez. I could feel the passion of Spain from their performance. I have never seen them sing without – looking at each other once. / – You are right. They kept their distance. – They were apart but together. / – Yes, even though they were apart, their voices brought them together.
Didn't their performance remind you of "Saturday Night Movie"? – You are right. / – "Saturday Night Movie." Concierto De Aranjuez marked the start of the show. Are you serious? (No wonder I felt the resemblance!) (He plays the song right away) No wonder I was reminded of "Saturday Night Movie." When the light turned on at the end, I felt like there should've been a rotating statue – in the middle. / – Like a trophy. – That's right. / – It reminded me of that. (Nam Kyungjoo and Lee Hyunwoo) (Versus Son Junho and Kim Sohyun) (Bowing politely) They are the most experienced musical actors, so Junho and Sohyun are politely bowing to them. "Between The Missed Ones." It's a song from the second album of Toi Et Moi. This song is related to Sinmunno-gil at Gwanghwamun. – I know. / – I'm not sure if it still exists. I used to live near there.
It's a street that I walked back and forth for many years. While walking on that street one day, I started humming the melody without knowing what the song was. Both the lyrics and the melody came to me like that. I wrote down the melody at home while playing the guitar. I also wrote down the lyrics hurriedly not to forget about it. That's how I wrote this song. When I composed this song with my guitar, I was thinking about myself walking on Sinmunno-gil as an unknown musician.
However, as I listened to your song, I felt like I was walking on a street made of stones in Europe while wearing velvet clothes. It was beautiful and amazing. – Thank you. / – Thank you. (It was a beautiful and amazing performance) It was a battle between two musical singer teams. We are nervous every time we perform on this stage. However, they didn't seem nervous at all. As if they performed here before. They performed with excitement as if they owned the stage and brought the audience together. Therefore, I respect them and am envious – of their skills. / – That's Kyungjoo's skill. Since they are known to be great singers, I knew what to expect from them. However, I was very impressed by the power of the couple. They were amazing. The two of you also make a great couple.
Let's see who the audience has chosen. Let's see the result! (Lee Hyunwoo and Nam Kyungjoo) (Versus Kim Sohyun and Son Junho) It's a competition among musical singers. Will Kyungjoo and Hyunwoo win for the second time with a score of 395? (Will Kyungjoo and Hyunwoo's "Wanderer") (Win for the second time?) They're the couple representing "Immortal Songs". Sohyun and Junho performed together after a long time. Will they take the first win? (Will Sohyun and Junho's) ("Between The Missed Ones" win?) – Let's see! / – Let's see! (Who will be the winner?) (The male duet versus the mixed duet) (Who will be the winner?) (Son Junho and Kim Sohyun) It's a score of 417.
Wow, that is amazing. (The passion of love is powerful) Kyungjoo and Hyunwoo are congratulating them. Congratulations! Our prediction based on our feelings was not wrong. Junho and Sohyun take the first win with a score of 417. (Sohyun and Junho take their first win) (I can't believe it) (It's unbelievable) Gosh. Good job. I will now pick our fifth performer. This team is very grateful to "Immortal Songs". They say, "Thanks to Immortal Songs," "we finally opened our eyes to fashion." It must be Seungyeon. – It must be Seungyeon. / – That's right. This team used to perform in their own clothes before. However, the team bought matching outfits for the first time to appear on "Immortal Songs". They are a folk music trio. It's Jatanpung. (Jatanpung) Next up is Jatanpung. – Good luck! / – Good luck! (Good luck, Jatanpung!) – See you. / – Good luck! Kyungjoo and Hyunwoo are back. (The wanderers, Kyungjoo and Hyunwoo are back) What do you think about the performance at "Immortal Songs"? To be honest, I imagined it as stages I always go on.
As I mentioned before, I think the audience knows how to enjoy performances on the "Immortal Songs". They were cheering for us, so I felt at home. I think he really enjoyed it. – Is that true? / – He really enjoyed it and said, "Let's try out again." Did you really? I thought he only wanted to win. (He is full of desire to win) – Is that so? / – No. The fact that we won once is already worth it. You're so good with words. I'd like to bring Jungwon and Jimin if I have a chance. They would make the best team of musical singers. (The best team of musical singers) (The folk music trio in Korea) (Is back after two years) (Jatanpung) We will make "Spring Comes The Pathway" the perfect song for spring. ("Spring Comes The Pathway" was released in 1973) (As Park Inhee's solo debut song) (After disbanding of Toi Et Moi) (It was loved by the public) (Due to its beautiful lyrics and sentimental melodies) Here comes the fifth performer, Jatanpung. (The fifth performance by Jatanpung) Are you having a good time? – Yes.
/ – Yes. This is our third performance on "Immortal Songs". However, we've never won once. – We have. / – Pardon me? We won just once. (We won just once) That is why we need your help. When I give you a sign, you all say, "Spring." Then, we will start singing "Spring Comes The Pathway." In one, two, three and four.

/ – Thank you. (Here we announce the arrival of spring) ("Spring Comes The Pathway" by Jatanpung) (Spring has come to "Immortal Songs") Spring has come. (Spring has come to "Immortal Songs") – It really is spring. / – It was nice. It did feel like spring has come to "Immortal Songs". How did you like the performance? – I think the performance was / – I agree.
the closest to Park Inhee's style. Do you think they'll win? I don't know about that. Son Junho and Kim Sohyun were… – He sighed deeply again. / – Well… – No, I didn't mean that. / – He is way too honest. – Of course I should be honest. / – He's right. He could've hesitated for two seconds to be polite, but he said no right away. Sejoon, what did you think? I personally like Jatanpung a lot.
What's funny is that Hyeongsup and Bongju smile while they sing, but Inbong never smiles. – He's a bit scary. / – Right. So earlier today during the rehearsal, I told him to smile, and he said, "Singers smile when they make a mistake." "Singers don't smile" "when they are annoyed by the mistake." So that's why the two always smile, but Inbong doesn't. Bongju smiled the most. (He's guilty the most because he smiled a lot) He must have smiled because he made a mistake. Listening to their song, I really felt like spring has come closer to us. Jatanpung's "Spring Comes The Pathway." What did you think? Watching their performance, I felt that the warm spring has come that I suddenly wanted to go all around the country with my bicycle.
Thank you. How did you feel singing this song in front of the legend? First of all, when I saw the photo of her album, I thought it'd be nice if my girlfriend in college was a girl like Park Inhee. It used to be my dream. Yes, back in the days, all of us felt that way. We thought that way as we looked at the photos of long-playing records. What will the result be? Their performance was calm, but the audience were excited. Let's see who the audience has chosen. Let's see the result! (The result is) Will Junho and Sohyun win for the second time with a score of 417? Or will Jatanpung take their first win with their performance of spring? – Let's see! / – Let's see! (Who will be the winner?) (What will the result be?) (Kim Sohyun and Son Junho) Jatanpung.
Thank you for your performance. With a very high score of 417, Sohyun and Junho take their second win. Congratulations. I will now pick our sixth and seventh performers. At this point, I'm not sure whether Seungyeon should go next – or Sejoon should go next. / – Right. This person uploaded a video of herself rapping quickly. (Double speed song) (Joy and sorrow) Congratulations, Sejoon. The song was two times the original speed, but she had no problem singing and rapping perfectly without making any mistake. The video earned a million views in just a day. It's the indefectible vocalist, Son Seungyeon. (Son Seungyeon) (Next up is a flawless vocalist, Son Seungyeon) It seems like Seungyeon has to defeat the married couple, Junho and Sohyun. I am going to make a new attempt in today's performance, so even I am looking forward to it. – I will try my best. / – All right. – Seungyeon, let's go! / – Go for it! – You can do it. / – Wish me luck. The song I will sing today is "White Shell." What I felt after listening to Park Inhee's songs is that she is very philosophical.
Her music isn't one-dimensional. I could see that she made and sang these songs after approaching them in many different angles. Until now, I performed as they were prepared, but this time, I made it sound raw and unaffected. ("White Shell" was released in 1974) (It was one of Park Inhee's famous songs) (It's famous for the poetic lyrics,) (The sentimental melodies, and her clear voice) Here comes our sixth performer, Son Seungyeon. (The sixth performance by Son Seungyeon) It's such a great honor to be able to see you here. Thank you. ("White Shell" by Son Seungyeon) ♪ I whistle the boat horn ♪ ♪ Oh, white shell ♪ ♪ I miss the sound of the far away sea ♪ ♪ On the sunset horizon ♪ ♪ There's a sailboat ♪ ♪ A white shell ♪ ♪ Shades of flowers seep in ♪ ♪ I take it to my ears ♪ ♪ The white shell ♪ ♪ I miss the sound of my old friend's song ♪ ♪ On the sand at twilight ♪ ♪ Lies a pair of shadows ♪ ♪ The white shell ♪ ♪ Now falls into a dream ♪ ♪ A white shell ♪ ♪ Shades of flowers seep in ♪ ♪ Shades of flowers seep in ♪ (Sending a wave of shudder,) ("White Shell" by Son Seungyeon) She's really good.
She dominated the stage. – I'm lost for words. / – Oh, dear. (Her charming voice seeps into the heart) (Everyone is astounded by her voice) She's terrific. It's like her voice were painted with colors. It's an instrument. I could hear many instruments in her voice. Seriously. What kinds of instruments? Please state three. – Drums? Or what did you hear? / – Don't be like that. – Please tell us. / – You know the effector? Even without it, it sounded like she could change her voice at her will.
Like an effector for a guitar? Yes, it felt like that. How did you like it, Hyunwoo? (How will Hyunwoo's remark be?) It doesn't have to be long. It doesn't have to have a climax and all. Seungyeon's way of expressing her music left a powerful impression even in the short song. Will she be able to defeat Junho and Sohyun? That's a tough question. (That's a tough question) Are you talking to yourself? Was that your answer, or were you talking to yourself? I don't know what to do. I can't talk back since I don't want to be rude. I'm worried for Sejoon. (That was unexpected) Sejoon is sitting right here. – On top of going at the end / – Look how he's sitting. – Look at his legs. / – Well… The children I'll perform with are in the next room, so I went up to check on them. I found that two of the four are asleep. – It's late now. / – Then, just sing with the two. (Just sing with the two!) Just two. (Son Seungyeon versus Son Junho and Kim Sohyun) While listening to "White Shell" by Son Seungyeon, I saw you nodding your head.
How did you find her performance? It felt as if I experienced a completely new world that was unknown to me before. She chose "White Shell," and it is considered the simplest song of mine. As I watched Seungyeon perform, I thought while I expressed a small grain of sand on the beach, Seungyeon expressed the vast sea itself. That's how I felt about her performance. – She gave the highest praise. / – Thank you. (This is the moment when a singer feels most rewarded) (Inhee is so good at expressing her feelings!) Let's see who the audience has chosen. (Who will be the winner?) (Son Seungyeon versus Kim Sohyun and Son Junho) (The greatest duet performance of the lovebirds) – I can't even guess. / – Will Junho and Sohyun take the third win with a score of 417? (With her flawless voice, she made the audience shiver) Will Seungyeon who showed her another charm be able to take the first win? – Let's see! / – Let's see! ("White Shell" versus "Between The Missed Ones") (Who will be the winner?) (Kim Sohyun and Son Junho) They're amazing.
Congratulations. Another round of applause, please. It will be a performance made together with children. Whether we win or lose, I hope that it will be a happy experience. Let's find out how he will perform with children. – Lee Sejoon, good luck. / – Good luck. (He is the last performer) Go for it! Which song will you sing today? I have prepared the song that is usually sung along with guitars. It's "Fire In The Open Air" by Park Inhee. ("Fire In The Open Air" was released in 1973) (After Park Inhee's debut as a soloist) (It was popular among college students) (During the 70s and 80s) (The lyrics show the romance of the youth at that time) (Many singers enjoy singing this song until today) Sejoon will sing "Fire in the Open Air" today, and it used to be enjoyed at campfires during the 70s and 80s.
(Clapping) – ♪ We gather around ♪ / – Was it like this? – What's amazing is / – ♪ A fire ♪ – Kyungjoo is having bread, / – ♪ In the open air ♪ – but he is also taking part. / – ♪ There's no end ♪ – I didn't know you'd join in. / – ♪ To our stories ♪ As Sejoon isn't here, Inbong, could you play the guitar for us? (Let's sing it together) – We used to sing "Pearly Shells." / – What's that? – ♪ Tie sea shells ♪ / – Oh, that! – It's this.
/ – We need to do this together. (They automatically begin to clap as the song begins) – No, it's this. / – There we go. ♪ Tie sea shells together ♪ ♪ Give it to her ♪ ♪ Sitting together by the river ♪ ♪ We talk throughout the night ♪ ♪ A summer night is getting deep ♪ ♪ I can't get sleep ♪ In one, two, three and four. (They end with clapping as they did in the beginning) I just remembered the key point of singing this song. If you sing this song along with a person you just met, – it helps you to get closer easily. / – It makes your – heart flutter. / – Physical contact. Everyone did this innocently, but you went, "This is physical contact." – Were you thinking like that? / – This is fun. Let's continue this and forget about Sejoon. (Let's have fun) (Everyone, we can do this!) Here comes the seventh performer, Lee Sejoon of Yurisangja.
(The seventh performance by Lee Sejoon) I thought really hard to come up with my performance partner for today. I was able to invite the four amazing people that fit perfectly with today's performance. Let me introduce the Ukulele Children Ensemble. Please welcome them with a round of applause. (The girls with ukuleles) ("Fire in the Open Air" by Lee Sejoon) ♪ We gather around a fire in the open air ♪ ♪ There's no end to our stories ♪ ♪ Life leaves ashes after the smoke ♪ ♪ It's like a fire that ends without a fuss ♪ ♪ From the moment it started and till it died ♪ ♪ There's no end to our stories ♪ ♪ We gather around a fire in the open air ♪ ♪ There's no end to our stories ♪ ♪ Life leaves ashes ♪ ♪ After the smoke ♪ ♪ It's like a fire that ♪ ♪ Ends without a fuss ♪ ♪ From the moment it started and till it died ♪ ♪ There's no end to our stories ♪ ♪ From the moment it started and till it died ♪ ♪ There's no end to our stories ♪ ♪ We gather around ♪ ♪ A fire in the open air ♪ ♪ There's no end ♪ ♪ To our stories ♪ ♪ There's no end ♪ ♪ To our stories ♪ ♪ There's no end ♪ ♪ There's no end ♪ (A collaboration of youth and innocence of childhood) ("Fire In The Open Air" by Lee Sejoon) Thank you.
Attention. Bow. (Men and women of all ages) (Have enjoyed the performance) Good job! (Good job, everyone) – Were you nervous? / – Yes. (It was a heart-warming stage that made everyone smile) Sejoon's warm heart and the girls made the performance so rich and full. When kids sing, they elongate the last note. They drag the last note like this. It makes you feel helpless. It just melts your heart. People with children would have voted. – Right. / – That's true. Jiheon, would you have voted for him? Yes, I felt so touched. I was able to concentrate on the lyrics. Which part? "We gather around a fire in the open air." – It's a short phrase.
/ – Yes. I think that's what makes her song unique. – Most of her lyrics are short. / – Right. Still, the lyrics succeed in delivering meaningful message. They make your emotions come alive. I think Sejoon concentrated on that part. I think giving this performance a score is meaningless. I feel like this performance summed up everything today. How did you like the performance, Hyunwoo? I could picture sunlight shining on the water of a brook on a summer day. You know how it sparkles, don't you? – Yes. / – That kind of brilliance.
I felt like I was sitting by a nice brook. And I felt like my mind was getting purified. I had peace of mind. This performance was perfect for today's theme. Hyunwoo, I think you're addicted to using figures of speech. Every sentence you say includes metaphors. Could you please write some down for me? You are great at comparing things. Could you write some down for next week? It's hard for me to say things directly. – Is that right? / – Everything becomes poetic. (What I say becomes poetic) You're right. (Sejoon versus Junho and Sohyun) With the song "Fire In The Open Air," you started your career as a solo artist. How did you like Sejoon's performance? I never expected him to sing from the heart and with all his heart. The four young girls… You are young but I'm very thankful to you. I would love to invite you to my concert as special guests.
Thank you very much. Can I come with them? Of course. I wasn't sure about bringing the girls up here for finding out about the decision. It'd be a great memory for them if we win. I feel like there's a very small possibility. I asked them what they wanted to do. They wanted to be up here. They want to be on the stage even if the light goes out. So I brought them up here. I see. She's back for the first time in 35 years. She'll have a concert very soon. I heard a special guest, Song Changsik, will be at your concert. Everyone is talking about it. I hope to see a lot of special guests at your concert. All the performances are over. How was it today? You sang a lot of my songs here today. When I wrote them, they were only like props. I considered them that way. You've sewn them so well, made them into amazing songs and performed them wonderfully on stage.
Thank you so much for all your effort. I consider all of you as my mentors. Thank you so much. Especially, I want to thank everyone who is here and who remembers my old songs. Thank you so much, everyone. She just delivered a thank you speech to the audience. Okay. All we have left is the final result. Let's see who the audience has chosen.
Let's see the result! (The result is) Will Sohyun and Junho win four times in a row? It was a performance like a summer night's dream. Will Sejoon and the girls win? (They hadn't performed together in a long time) (They are aiming for a victory) (An earnest song) (By husband-and-wife musical performers) ("Between The Missed Ones" by Son Junho and Kim Sohyun) (It was a perfect harmony made) (With a guitar and ukuleles) (A heart-warming stage) (Made by children and an adult) (The final performance) (Brought everyone together) (Will "Fire In The Open Air" by Lee Sejoon win?) (They beat Kyungjoo and Hyunwoo) It's a score of 417! (They won against Jatanpung and Seungyeon) (They are both desperate to win) (What will the result be?) – Let's see! / – Let's see! (Who will be the winner?) (Next week) This person wrote songs that are loved by men and women of all ages.
Let me introduce to you someone who wrote trot songs that transcended generations. Kim Dongchan's here, ladies and gentlemen. ("Sling" by a charismatic rocker) (Kim Kyungho) ("Fire Of Love" by the soulful vocalist) (Kim Taewoo) ("Garden Balsam Feelings") (By a bubbly rookie girl group, MATILDA) ("Love And Seasons" by Song Sohee) (With her cute dance moves) ("Four Beats" by the vocalist of soulful emotions) (U Sungeun) ("Label Of Love" by passionate and seductive) (Bae Dahae) ("Nest" by the guy who is on a roll) (Son Junho) (The sounds of the sincere hearts) (Portray everyday life) (You'll be mesmerized by the charm of trot) (That captured many hearts) (Songs of Our Lives by Lyricist Kim Dongchan) (Sejoon versus Sohyun and Junho) (Sohyun and Junho) Sohyun and Junho! Junho and Sohyun won four times in a row. They are the final winners of the show. Congratulations! The legend of today, Park Inhee is handing them the trophy.
Another big round of applause, please! ("Find Me" by Jun Hyoseong, Featuring, D.Action) .
