Kim Hee Chul "Viewer love is my health food"... Remake of a masterpiece
KBS Joy '20th Century Hit Song' will broadcast a remake special to celebrate Chobok. The tiki-taka between Kim Hee Chul and Mi-ju, along with a surprise appearance by Go Young-bae, has been teased.
"Viewer love is my stamina food" Mijoo bursts into laughter at Kim Hee Chul's cheesy compliments
Between Chobok and Jungbok, when the sweltering heat is at its peak, a "eardrum stamina boost" is coming to refresh the viewers' ears. Episode 322 of '20th Century Hit Song', airing on KBS Joy at 8:30 PM on the 18th, will re-examine legendary songs that defined eras under the theme "Eardrum Stamina! Bone Broth Remakes."
The recording session began with the pleasant "tiki-taka" between MC Kim Hee Chul and Mijoo, who brought up summer stamina foods as a topic. When Mijua revealed she ate Samgyetang for Chobok, Kim Hee Chul, as if he had been waiting for the moment, delivered a sly, cheesy compliment, saying, "I am full just from the love the viewers give me. Viewer love is my stamina food." In response, Mijoo immediately shot back, "I guess today's theme is cheesy compliments," turning the studio into a sea of laughter.
The core of this special, the Remake Masterpiece Chart, was selected based on the number of sound sources registered with the copyright association. This method goes beyond simply picking popular songs and proves through numbers how consistently they have been reinterpreted and loved by the public. Music that spans generations, from Park Sung Shin's hit songs infused with Latin rock rhythms to the late Kim Kwang Seok's sorrowful ballads and the representative songs of Kim Choo Ja, Korea's first sexy diva, were named as the stars of the chart.
Go Young Bae's surprise appearance and the 1-second intro quiz... A 'Hidden Song' battle of pride
Mijoo's admiration continued as the musical depth increased. Having previously only encountered original songs through versions remade by junior idols, Mijoo expressed her awe at the unique texture of the original sounds, saying, "I feel overwhelmed" and "This is the true taste of a remake." Kim Hee Chul also showed off his unique musical knowledge whenever the charts were revealed. He led the atmosphere with his unrestrained wit, saying things like, "This is a winning song that ensures I won't lose at karaoke," regarding a specific track, or telling a certain composer, "This hyung could quit composing after just this one song."
An unexpected variable appeared during the program's popular segment, 'Hidden Song.' While a high-difficulty quiz was underway, where participants must guess the song after hearing only a one-second intro, a song by a singer with a special connection to Kim Hee Chul was presented. At the moment tension rose as Kim Hee Chul briefly fell into a 'mental breakdown' due to the unexpected difficulty, Go Young Bae, the vocalist of the band SORAN, made a surprise appearance as a guest.
Upon Go Young Bae's appearance, Kim Hee Chul was seen expressing a jokingly disappointed sentiment, saying he thought RESCENE would be coming. However, in the subsequent 'Hidden Song' battle, Go Young Bae and Kim Hee Chul are set to provide laughter to viewers by engaging in a relentless psychological warfare, declaring it a "battle of pride" beyond mere entertainment. '20th Century Hit Song', which draws empathy across generations through popular music from the 1980s to the 2000s, will take time to reinterpret familiar melodies through a new perspective through this remake special.
