The 276th episode of KBS Joy '20th Century Hit-Tsong', which aired at 8:30 p.m. on August 8, introduced the songs of singers who pushed their own beliefs under the theme of 'Wildly stubborn~'Hit-Tsong'.
At the beginning of the show, Lee Mi-joo asked Heechul Kim "Have you heard a lot of stubborn sedans?" and Heechul Kim "I heard a lot "I did what the company designated me from head to toe" and "It's the first time in 20 years since my debut." In response, Lee Mi-joo "Don't grow up. Then he will die," he said, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
Psy's 「Father (2005)」 was introduced in the 10th place on the day. Psy was originally a successor to a semiconductor company, studying in the U.S. at his father's will and entering Boston University's business department, but he was said to have been opposed. On the data screen, Psy explained why he started music, saying, `I actually wanted to get out of my father's shadow rather than my passion for music.' Five years after his debut, it was explained that his father's mind was relieved after the announcement of 'Father'.
Pinkle's 'Eternal Love (1999)' was ranked 9th. The Heechul Kim admired Lee Hyo-ri in the stage video, saying "So pretty," while Lee Mi-joo also added "Beautiful."
Rain's 'How to Avoid the Sun (2003)' came in 8th place, while Resurrection's 'Lonely Night (1997)' came in 7th place. Lee Mi-joo introduced the fact that she recorded the entire fifth album for 700 hours, and Heechul Kim added that "Park Wan-gyu called Kim Tae-won 'the Devil in the Recording Room'."
Meanwhile, in 6th place was Turbo's 'Cyber Lover (2000)'. Kim reportedly insisted on Mikey over 3,500 audition applicants when he was looking for members to fill the vacancy after Kim Jong-nam left. Meanwhile, Heechul Kim said, "I fell in love while doing Lineage in the past as well" and "It was really heartbreaking because I lost contact with you." I think that was the most exciting time," he said, sharing his memories of online games when he was a high school student.
In fifth place was Eun Ji-won's 「Drunk in Melody (2003)」, who was stubborn about hip-hop. After her Sechs Kies career, Eun Ji-won worked as a hip-hop singer, her dream since high school, but she was introduced to visit Drunken Tiger to learn hip-hop ahead of the release of her third album due to lower-than-expected performance.
Created and produced by Shin Hae-cheol and N.E.X.T.'s Kim Young-seok, the group Emerald Castle's 'Step (1997)' was ranked fourth, and Lee Jung-hyun's 'Wah (1999)', known as 'Concept Queen', was ranked third.
Brown Eyes' `Already One Year (2001)' was released in second place. The Heechul Kim introduced "More than 700,000 albums were sold, probably because they were faceless singers, had no performances, and had never been on a music show." "Yoon Geon woke up at 4 a.m. and made the song because the melody came to mind," he said. "I played this song to my colleagues around me, but 9 out of 10 people said it wasn't very responsive."
The long-awaited first place was Lee Seung-hwan's 'For 1,000 Days (1995)'. The Heechul Kim revealed the behind-the-scenes story of the composition, saying, `It is said that Lee Seung-hwan wrote the lyrics while drunk when he returned home at 7 a.m. after going to a nightclub.' Lee Seung-hwan was about to perform, and he tried to remove the appendix in advance because he was afraid that he would have to cancel the performance if he had acute appendicitis. I was scolded for insisting on removing the appendix from the doctor.", referring to Lee Seung-hwan's anecdote.
