Tapgol Park - Best Place to Travel

(immortal songs, singing the legend) (mc shin dongyeop) thank you. we have an artist with a voice and lyrics that reflect his experiences in life.

Tapgol Park, today's legend is a romantic poet who debuted 40 years ago, choi baekho. (romantic poet who sings of life, choi baekho) (he is the epitome of romance)

he showed me how a singer should sing. a song should loosen the knots in people's hearts and move the listeners. that's what a song should do. he is a cool and romantic middle-aged man. i want to age finely like him. (he's a romantic singer) (who sings of life with a deep voice) (choi baekho) the award goes to choi baekho of "about romance".

(he received kbs award for best lyricist in 1996) (he composed and wrote lyrics for numerous songs) (he is a singer-songwriter) (who sings of life with sentimentality) (he has a unique husky voice) (with his deep voice, he created his own music) (with the entire nation cheering him on,) (the romantic gentleman sang of life, love and romance) (choi baekho's masterpieces)

(that will awaken your hearts) (start now) (romantic poet who sings of life,) (men with perfect harmony, sweet sorrow) (a small giant of "immortal songs", park kiyoung) (idol of korean traditional music, nam sangil) (funny and lively band, lazybone) (the rising star, kim bokyung) (son of "immortal songs", son junho)

(return of the queen, lyn) immortal songs, - singing the legend! / - singing the legend! - i'll introduce this artist first. / - who is it? after her wedding two years ago, she finally came back to "immortal songs". let me introduce you to lyn! (newlywed and a sentimental vocalist, lyn) it has been a while.

how have you been for the past two years? i got married, released a new album and spent my time missing "immortal songs". - did you? / - yes. i heard that you are quite popular in china. my success in china is all thanks to a well-made drama. were you the leading actress of that drama? no, i'm talking about the original sound tracks.

- oh, that? / - i wish i was the leading actress. she was the first female ballad singer - to become famous overseas. / - that's right. what are your plans for 2016? actually, i don't have any plans. - you don't? / - no. i want to have a baby in 2017. i plan to have fun this year. she wants to enjoy being a newlywed.

it seems that way. i see how it is. the next artist has said that his rival is hwang chiyeul. what kind of nonsense is that? who has said something so ambitious? sangil, among the rookies who are here today, who do you think could be your rival? hwang chiyeul.

(he picked chiyeul as his rival) everyone must know why i picked him. my looks rival that of his. my goodness. (he is a brazen man) it's nam sangil. (the fun pansori singer, nam sangil) i can forgive nam sangil for saying that. who do you think will be your toughest opponent today?

y. (without hesitation, he picks y) they beat me last time. that's right. (he lost a round to y) they must have prepared a lot for today's performance. i have a secret weapon. - you do? / - i will be performing alone. (he will be performing alone?)

how is that your secret weapon? - that's his secret weapon. / - why? ever since i performed with seonu yongnyeo, i have been traumatized. i saw her yesterday at the lobby of kbs building. she was coming my way, and i panicked. (in a fright) so i came with the determination to make an impressive stage by myself.

are we beneath your notice today as well? he doesn't care at all. of course, you are. (he doesn't care at all) these artists performed on "immortal songs" before and had a groundbreaking win. - please welcome, y. / - y! - we are y. / - we are y. their voices are full of confidence.

- you won last time. / - that's right. (the trio of classical singers) (had their first performance) (their perfect harmony awed the audience) (y became the final winner after four consecutive wins) they are amazing. have you performed at a lot of festivals ever since? we received many inquiries to perform. - i bet. / - we did,

but nothing ever came through. - so / - did you want to perform alone? he did ask me for an advice. "how should the trio split the money?" i can't believe it. the other members didn't know. the other two are sending him looks of betrayal. you should split the money evenly. gosh, stop it.

jungtek, how did people react - after you won the episode? / - i was astonished. - right after the episode aired... / - i still remember how he was so surprised. he made this face. (he was the most surprised of anyone) everyone told me that i overreacted. imagine that you are at the final round. - the result will be revealed. / - get ready.

with a score of 500, y becomes the final winner of this week! he can't hide his happiness. he won't be able to control his face today either. junho, y and sweet sorrow have graduated from the same university. - that's right. / - do you feel a sense of rivalry? we are very worried about competing against them. we have sung diligently

during our four years at university. that's all we did. but sweet sorrow started music by joining the music club. - "maybe we should sing." / - my goodness. - that wasn't a disparaging remark. / - go ahead. sweet sorrow has a member with an impressive deep voice. members of y have a completely different tone.

let's see who can hit lower notes better. both groups are known for their deep voices. (we are professionals now) (we will show you the dignity of vocal music) (song woojin versus kim sangjin) - this is amazing. / - let's go. - how nerve-wracking. / - do. - ti. / - la. - sol. / - fa.

- mi. / - re. - do. / - ti. - la. / - sol. - fa. / - mi. who won? sangjin won. they declared victory even before the results came out. - i saw it happen. / - he did that. we won.

were you in tune? - i was. / - that's a good question. let's have a rematch. let's have a fair match. shall we see who can hit the highest note? - highest note? / - let's do that. (no foul play, please) (we will prove to you this time) (seong jinhwan versus kim sangjin)

- la. / - ti. - do. / - re. - mi. / - fa. - sol. / - la. ti. do! re! (his voice squeaks) he won!

- he wins the game! / - congratulations! it doesn't matter if you majored in music. the music club won. i will choose the first performer. it's only beginning of the show, and a very strong group will be performing. first of all, they have great teamwork. - it's a team. / - it's not me. - it's not me. / - lazybone, y or sweet sorrow.

- it'll be one of those three. / - right. these singers control the stage with their powerful voices. they have won the final round before. (this team has won the final round) - y? / - sweet sorrow? they are three men. (three men!) they're the best vocal music trio.

here comes the first performer, son junho. (the first performance by son junho) (the members majored in music!) - no! / - we are y! we're not in sync. - in the case of sangjin, / - yes. - you just had a battle, / - this is bad. and you have to go sing now. - that's right. / - i'm in trouble.

you look depressed. please say a few words for us. we prepared a fun stage. people will be able to clap along. we'll do our best and enjoy ourselves. - yes. / - we are - y! / - nice! - good luck! / - go for it. - let's go! / - you got this!

- good luck! / - go for it! let's enjoy ourselves. why did you make me do it? - it's okay. / - it was fun. - let's be honest now. / - okay. you are better singers, aren't you? - right? / - don't you think? - say it. / - to be honest, you can actually - sing lower. / - right.

but i didn't try to win. (he wanted to maintain peace) no wonder you lost so easily. - i knew it. / - what about jinhwan? i should've gone easy on him. (i was too ruthless) - you were mean. / - you should've stopped. i thought he could sing one more note. - okay. / - that's right.

- i see. / - he was actually caring. what do you think of choi baekho? - he's a gentleman. / - that's right. he's a real man. you can tell by his songs. his unique tone is very charming. i used to mimic him a lot. - what will you sing? / - what did we choose? - "run". / - it's "run". it might be the most exciting song

among today's performances. you're right. that's what we aimed for. i think people expect us to perform something in a classical or formal manner. we wanted to show people that we can sing something upbeat and exciting that gives off good energy, so they can have fun with us. - we prepared a lot. / - we did.

we are - y! / - y! ("run" is included in choi baekho's debut album) (it is an upbeat song) (it was a huge hit when it was released) (other than the phrase "i am sad",) (the rest of the lyrics are comprised of dialects) (you guys are great!) (we look forward to their great harmony)

("run" by son junho) 'run through the pouring rain' 'oh, what a wonderful feeling' 'forget about your worries and run' 'doodoodoo, doodoodoo' 'soak your dry heart in this pouring rain' 'let all these sad stories disappear' 'scatter at my feet' 'nananana'

'disappear' 'scatter in this rain' 'at my feet' 'in this rain' 'doodoodoodoo, doodoodoodoo' 'doodoodoodoodoo' 'doodoodoodoo, doodoodoodoo, doodoodoodoo' 'forget about your worries' 'and run'

(an overpowering, perfect harmony, "run" by son junho) - thank you. / - thank you. (it was a dynamic performance) - wow! / - that was great. that was an amazing first stage. - their voices were overwhelming. / - i know. - what did you think, lyn? / - i've been interested in classical singing lately. i was listening to their performance

and i felt like i was being overpowered. i'm sure that the audience must have felt the energy and enjoyed the stage. - you've come back after a while. / - yes. so we should see your talent. - talent? / - what's that? - out of nowhere? / - we have to see it. let's see lyn

impersonate herself. - tell us how we should do it. / - teach us. i cringe my face a lot. i cringe like this. - yes, she does that. / - and then, i keep moving my eyebrows like this. i shake them. - she's interesting. / - sometimes i shake too much and make myself dizzy. i didn't know you were doing that on purpose.

i thought you had a magnesium deficiency. her eyelids were trembling. - she was twitching. / - yes. - it was on purpose. / - it was. you have to look up at a 45-degree angle. - a 45-degree angle? / - you have to look up as if you're thinking about someone. - but has disappeared? / - right. 'please don't do that'

(that's exactly it) 'you still love me' her voice melts my heart. - it's your turn, bokyung. / - yes, let's see. - try it, bokyung. / - go. it's very difficult to do. - you're right. / - look at a 45-degree angle and... vibrate your voice. - she sings so well. / - she sounds similar.

- wasn't that good? / - that was really great. - she did so well. / - that was really good. she sang very well. now let's have sangil try it. - sangil can try it. / - i bet he can do it. - that's right. / - this is sangil's style. he sings all songs that way. i will choose the second performer. sweet sorrow, you guys should be next.

- sweet sorrow should be next. / - get ready. - i hope sweet sorrow is next. / - get ready to go. no way. there are babies who don't stop once they start crying. this singer had a strong voice ever since he was young. he was born with such a voice. he sang pansori for five hours. (he can sing pansori for five hours)

but his voice was still fine afterwards. he's an idol of korean traditional music. (the second performance by nam sangil) - we're competing against him again. / - what do we do? (a special voice, nam sangil) - no! / - is today the day - for your revenge? / - oh, no. (a memory he wants to forget) people are moved by my music more

after hearing a few pop songs. but now i am one of the first singers. - nam sangil, let's go! / - let's go! (he goes to compete against y) the song is called "about romance". it's a popular song in korea. i feel more pressured to be singing a song that many people know. i hope my performance brings back memories

and gives strength to many fathers who are feeling down in 2016. "about romance," here i go! choi baekho's "about romance". ("about romance" by choi baekho) (it's a song that was played in a very popular drama) (in 1995 called "men of the bath house") (the song became more popular because of the drama) (it brought another prime moment)

(to choi baekho's career) (it's a trot song that expresses the emptiness of life) (and of the past) (it is a popular song among middle-aged men) (and reminds us of the memories of romance) here comes the second performer, nam sangil. ("about romance" by nam sangil) 'on a gloomy rainy day' 'sit in an old-fashioned coffee house'

'sip a glass of balloon flower whiskey' 'and hear the rich sound of the saxophone' 'with red lipstick' 'the madam has adorned herself' 'while you make small talk' 'hear the rich sound of the saxophone' 'i know i'm now too old' 'to feel the sweetness of the pain' 'but now a part of my heart is empty'

'that of which i lost' 'late night at the harbor' 'at the ferry dock' 'thought there's no one coming back for you' 'hear the sound of the sad boat horn' 'my first love' 'is she now as old as i am?' 'the years gone by are now too sad' 'to regret my past youth'

'about those that i will never get back' 'but now, but now' 'about romance' (our sorrows dwell within the loneliness of middle-age) (nam sangil's "about romance") (the sound of korean traditional music) (makes you fall in love) - that was amazing. / - what happened to sangil? sangil is determined

to defeat y today. i think he prepared for today with victory on his mind. i am very sorry that i didn't recognize sangil. i feel sorry and respect at the same time. i think he will score higher than 400. will he score higher than 400 - and win the first round? / - yes. he did well. (son junho versus nam sangil) today's powerful opening song, "run", is

from choi baekho's debut album. you wrote the lyrics yourself. since the song has aspects of rock music, i was curious to see how classical musicians would perform the song. i felt like i was watching a perfect musical performance. i was very moved. (it was like a musical performance)

thank you very much. all right. on the other hand, you also said that sangil's "about romance" was like a gift from above. you mentioned this previously. i believe that "about romance" made me who i am today. ("about romance" made him who he is today) how could he sing it like this? he produced a sound that was something i couldn't

ever imagine, even a bit. i was very shocked. as the composer of this song, i want to thank you. you did very well. (a great performance that made him feel grateful) what will the result be? let's see who the audience has chosen. (the result) will son junho and his friends win?

or will nam sangil beat them and win, compensating for his loss last time? ("run" versus "about romance") (who will be the winner?) (the splendor of vocal music?) (traditional vocals drenched in emotion?) (son junho) y wins with 388 votes. y beats sangil for the first win.

(today's first win goes to the trio) he has to shake hands three times. now (i lost again) please give these four another round of applause. it's a rare occurrence for all of us to be wrong. - right. / - that's true. he's picking the third ball. - i think it will be sweet sorrow. / - it must be them.

- sweet sorrow has to be picked. / - it has to be them. i heard this person looks forward to the recording day of "immortal songs". people say that watching this person perform is like taking a multivitamin pill because her performance is dynamic and diverse. it's the master vocalist, park kiyoung. (park kiyoung) - park kiyoung. / - wow.

- park kiyoung. / - you got this! it's park kiyoung. i will go and attack some hearts. kiyoung, - let's go! / - let's go! (an emotional thief, kiyoung, moves to the stage) sangil is back with us. (he swiftly returns after a great performance) - you were amazing. / - we all enjoyed it.

everyone in this room today - was expecting you to win, / - right. but the results came out differently. the next time i come out, i think i'll ask someone to come with me. - is it the person we hope for? / - seonu yongnyeo? what? no! don't say that. or will it be ahn sukseon?

i never said anything to her. but one day, she called me over and grinned. then she said, "immortal songs?" and smiled. ("should i perform on immortal songs?") i think deep inside she wants to come on our show. - she left room for possibility. / - right. sukseon, we will be waiting for you.

today's legend, choi baekho, had a lot of artistic talents since he was young. so even after becoming a singer, he opened art exhibitions that displayed his own works. we'll take time now and have everyone here reveal their hidden talents. - i can sew. / - sewing? i can sew so well it looks like it was done by a machine.

- really? / - with your hands? - yes, with my hands. / - that's awesome. - i've made gaming device cases / - that's cute. and tissue box pockets as well. sangil, what is your hidden talent? i make designs for hanbok. i hand-make every little part of the garment. that's incredible. if you take a close look, you can

- see the three lines. / - the three lines. that's the printing on his shirt underneath. he's wearing something underneath. you're so dumb. he is my favorite male musician. i'm very nervous today. i'm extremely nervous. when i think of choi baekho, i am reminded of sting.

so naturally, i rearranged the song into jazz. to be honest, no matter how you sing or rearrange his songs, (nothing can beat the original) you can't do better than the original. right? it's the song i'm going to sing today, "right". the fact that i can sing this song

makes me very happy. (singing in front of the legend gives her happiness) i'm happy. really. ("right" is a dialect from the gyeongsang province) (baekho's unique dialect and tone) (add depth to the song) (it's a simple song about two lovers who) (miss each other while they are separated) here comes the third performer, park kiyoung.

(the third performance by park kiyoung) my heart is pounding at the thought of being able to sing in front of choi baekho, the legend of my dreams. i don't know what to do, but i will try my best. (seeing her so nervous makes us look forward even more) ("right" by park kiyoung) 'what should we do when spring comes?'

'we are still too far apart' 'what should we do when flowers bloom?' 'but if we get on the same page' 'and promise not to change forever' 'i guess a bit of loneliness would be all right' 'because we love each other so much' 'because we love each other' (longing embedded in a jazz melody) (park kiyoung's "right")

how does she sing like that? (her performance leaves people in awe) - it was park kiyoung's "right". / - "right". her voice sounded like the most exquisite - musical instrument. / - i agree. youngwoo, how did you like her performance? towards the end, she did a scat with the trumpet.

her voice and the trumpet echoed like cries while the contrabass hummed steadily. it goes like this. what are you doing? you can make the sound of a contrabass with your nose and lips. (contrabass) - like this. / - that's impressive. lyn, as a female vocalist,

how did you like her performance? i realized once again that baekho is amazing. the song has such sublime lyrics and sentimentality. - and despite difficult rhythms, / - that's right. park kiyoung added her own twist to the song and made a beautiful performance. i don't know how the time passed. her voice was like a beautiful musical instrument. there is a traditional form of korean music

called sinawi. - it is improvised and shamanistic. / - that's right. when a rhythm is given, a musical ensemble improvises the performance like in jazz. - it's the same thing. / - it's like a jam session. and the style of singing i showed you earlier accompanies the performance. - something like this. / - an ad-lib.

this is called vocal sinawi. - how cool. / - i was reminded of that. vocal sinawi is a form of music for the deceased. her performance felt like a modern version of it. it was almost mythical. music really transcends cultures. - how impressive. / - it connects different cultures. sangil,

i think this moment calls for a story time. (tell us a story) tell us about the myth of dangun. he knows everything. can a bear really turn into a human by eating garlic, teacher? garlic from uiseong and seosan are the best. i knew it. you know, he always replies even when i make absurd remarks.

he's a kind man. (the two teams put on wonderful performances) how did you like their performances? listening to the songs, i couldn't believe that i wrote them. i see. i almost shed tears. it felt like i was watching a movie. thank you so much for singing my songs with excellence.

(thank you so much) you know, when kiyoung had an interview with the production team, she said that she really wanted to meet baekho. - yes. / - was there a specific reason? i imagine that he must have encountered many temptations while pursuing his career.

but he took a firm stand and continued to make good music. and i find his gray hair very sexy. all right. then you will find many sexy men at tapgol park. i'm serious. the park is filled with sexy men. kiyoung, if you give me a call,

i'll wait at tapgol park. (he is a charming man) whether it be a man or a woman, sexiness isn't restricted by one's age. sexy people have charms beyond bounds. let's see who the audience has chosen. (son junho versus park kiyoung) they are

one of the most popular groups on "immortal songs". will y have a second win with a score of 388? she is an enchanting woman who transforms every week. will kiyoung beat y? - let's see! / - let's see! (let's see!) i didn't see that coming. son junho wins! congratulations. kiyoung is congratulating them.

with a score of 388, - y earns their second win in a row. / - wow. (y wins two times in a row) who will challenge y this time? i say it's sweet sorrow's turn. it's time to take y down. - i bet lazybone will go next. / - i think so. - i think lazybone will win today. / - they keep - putting us against them. / - they really are.

i will choose the fourth performer. (who will be the fourth performer?) there is a special place that this artist likes a lot. it's the bathroom. this artist sings very well. but when she sings in the bathroom, she feels as though she sings perfectly. a video of her singing in the bathroom was released once and became the talk of the town.

(a video of her singing in the bathroom) she's a sentimental vocalist, kim bokyung. (the fourth performance by kim bokyung) it's your turn. do you really sing in the bathroom? i can hear myself better when i sing inside the bathroom. - really? / - yes.

- the sound resonates well. / - that's right. she is a confident woman who shows unexpected charms - on stage. / - she's so charismatic. bokyung, - good luck! / - you can do it! good luck! (running) the song i will sing today

is choi baekho's "my heart has nowhere to go". when your heart has nowhere to go, anger may surge within you. and even the tears you cry are hot as they spill out of you. so i decided to express that heat with a drum performance. i hope my song will refresh the audience's hearts. wish me luck.

("my heart has nowhere to go") (is choi baekho's debut song) (it was released in december of 1976) (he wrote this song for his mother who had passed away) (his debut album sold 6,000 copies) (in less than three months) (and made choi baekho a well-known singer) (in the music industry) here comes the fourth performer, kim bokyung.

("my heart has nowhere to go" by kim bokyung) 'don't leave me in the fall' 'it's more depressing when leaves drop' 'wait until it's winter' 'then i can walk on the snow' 'and forget about the past' 'the streets are now dark' 'there i see a single streetlight' 'and when rain falls depressingly'

'my heart loses its way' everyone, sing! (what a powerful performance!) - bokyung was able to / - that was cute. make it sound like a 70s and 80s rock song. she made me burst out and say "she is so cool." she has such great energy. i think she's very cool.

- what about the drum? / - i think - that was cute. / - she went like this. she was so cute. she looked like a doll. (she looked like a cute doll) (if you wind it,) (this white tiger will play a lullaby for you) when she uncovered the drum, wasn't that cool? - that was cute. / - really?

that should've looked cool. (ta-da!) "here's my drum!" she's adorable. "ta-da! it's a drum." - i will hit it. / - that's a cute expression. (son junho versus kim bokyung) when this song was released,

the sales for the album skyrocketed within three months. i heard you had someone special in mind when you wrote the lyrics. yes, that's true. this song is about my mother who passed away in autumn when i was 20 years old. i sang it as if i was whispering,

"please don't leave in the autumn." bokyung sang it like she was grabbing onto someone very tightly and not letting go. it was great. thank you. (thank you for the great performance) you look like a white tiger. (her clothes make her look like a white tiger) a white tiger? right. ("baekho" means "white tiger")

- okay. / - during my interview, the producer said i looked like a caterpillar. i was a bit hurt. but he's right. it's a white tiger. (i'm a white tiger) you played the drum during your performance. did you think of it yourself? yes. i wanted to make it sound like a thunderstorm.

i wanted to make it sound like the sky was falling down. really? you've won twice already. - junho. / - yes. what did you guys talk about backstage? - we are constantly nervous. / - i see. we are worried about our light turning off. let's see

who the audience has chosen. they just might win again. will y win three times in a row? a powerful band performance was put on by bokyung. will she win against y? - wow! / - wow! (kim bokyung, a score of 419) a score of 419!

that's amazing. (bokyung wins against y) congratulations. bokyung - that's very high. / - received a score of 419. that's a very high score. - she won against y. / - she won! - congratulations! / - she did well. - great job. / - that's awesome.

i will choose the fifth performer. (who will go next?) a lot of the performers said baekho was their role model. they said they liked him since they were young and have always wanted to meet him for a long time. some say that they have been

impersonating baekho. the four men with a beautiful harmony, it's sweet sorrow. (the fifth performance by sweet sorrow) - sweet sorrow, go for it! / - go for it! (sweet sorrow goes to the stage) - we'll be back. / - you can do it! (he's warming up) - i hope you win. / - let's go.

they won twice in a row today. they are now returning with vigor. y is back! - welcome back! / - come on over. - we're y. / - hello. you won twice in a row. he said he would do the vocal challenge again when he's back in here. i wanted to.

let's do the challenge again. - let's do it. / - okay. - i'm sorry, but / - let's do it. we decided to put a stop to it. (that's too bad) - what? / - you guys act like comedians. did you plan it? - no. / - no, we didn't. jungtek, i heard your mother cried every time the light

came on last time. - that's right. / - why? - i didn't tell her the result. / - i see. i told her to watch the result on television. - you're so cruel. / - my mother thought i would lose right away. - she didn't think i'd win. / - i see. i heard she cried a lot - every time we won. / - oh, my.

when i heard that, i was a bit sad, but i was also happy. but you came in here and went (they make funny sounds) i think your mother - would stop crying right away. / - right. - we were in sync. / - we were. - we're in sync. / - we're in sync.

this is our new phrase. - what about me? / - what? today we're - in sync. / - in sync. - it's great. / - we're in sync. - y is / - y is - in sync. / - in sync. they have such deep voices. today, we will sing choi baekho's

"the night before army enlistment". we have memories with this song. we have great affection for it. without a moment of hesitation, we thought this would be a good opportunity to sing this song. many people who listen to this song may think, "i sang this song when i enlisted in the army." "i cheered for our youth with my friends"

"as we held our drinks up." i think this song will bring back those memories. (a representative army enlistment song) (of the 70s and 80s that many people sang) (it was a popular song to sing) (before enlisting in the army) (this song was a favorite of many) (based on a poem written by a college student,) (choi baekho added a melody to make it into a song)

here comes the fifth performer, sweet sorrow. hello. - we're sweet sorrow. / - we're sweet sorrow. (we're sweet sorrow) the four of us met in a music club in college. it was a male singing group called "glee". the group has a tradition that's been passed down since the 80s.

on the day before a member enlists in the army, as we all eat dinner together, we would sing this before drinking our first shot. 'now here we are' 'for our glee' 'hold up your glasses' - bravo! / - bravo! - bottoms up! / - bottoms up! (chuckling)

this tradition still continues to this day. people at other tables would clap for us. this song that we enjoyed singing almost every day during college is choi baekho's "the night before army enlistment". i hope you enjoy it. (how will sweet sorrow portray this song?) ("the night before army enlistment" by sweet sorrow) 'for our youth'

'raise your glass' 'a night full of regret but also satisfaction' 'filled with white cigarette smoke' 'i see your round face' 'i see your smile in my drink' 'looking back into the past' 'we went through so much' 'now you open up your heart' 'and together we promise our friendship'

'we may be saying goodbye now' 'but we will meet again' 'until that day' 'until the day we meet' 'for our youthfulness' 'for our love' 'my friend' ("the night before army enlistment") (sweet sorrow's song of friendship)

that was great. (wow!) that was really nice. - they'll win for sure. / - that was "the night before army enlistment" by sweet sorrow. i was reminded of a time at a fritter restaurant before enlisting in the army. i remember singing this song with all of my friends.

- really? / - how about you? am i the only one who knows this song? - it was at a fritter restaurant. / - really? he usually doesn't talk a lot. you must have really loved it. i'm surprised you don't empathize. - have you heard of college bars? / - no. - college bars? / - what are they? - did your school sell alcohol? / - for students?

don't all colleges have bars? at least you didn't say a tavern. a tavern? you're not helping me! do you know how many barmaids he is friends with? (he knows many barmaids) he would call the barmaids. do you know anything about gukbap? - give me one gukbap, please! / - he was a regular at numerous bars!

(is he that old?) do you remember this song, sangjin? - yes, of course. / - how was sweet sorrow's song? - i'm curious, too. / - can i be honest? - please be honest. / - tell us honestly. i hope bokyung will win. we have already lost. i hope they will lose and sit here. (he hopes they will sit next to him)

- that's exactly how i felt. / - right? - do you want him to lose? / - yes. you're both much older but very childish. (the older you get, the more childish you get) i was very moved by their performance. it was very touching. if he was moved, he must be rooting for sweet sorrow. no, i think bokyung will win. i have no doubt about that.

- you think bokyung will win? / - she was better. they are incredible musicians, but they are very narrow-minded. (they are very narrow-minded) - let me ask sangil. / - okay. he's the im jinmo of korean traditional music. let's talk to sangil, who critiques all performances as objectively as possible. i carefully predict that sweet sorrow will win.

- oh, really? / - that's what i thought. what score do you think they will receive? i think a score of about 424 or 425. did sweet sorrow do that well? (sweet sorrow versus kim bokyung) "hold up your drinks for our youth." we would toast while singing this. this song popularized toasting. how was this song made?

i made this song when i was 27 years old. but to be honest, i was so young and inexperienced back then that i couldn't make it perfectly. - really? / - even after it was made, it was a song that was very imperfect. but sweet sorrow has rearranged the song so perfectly that i was deeply touched while listening to their singing.

i was reminded of the day before i enlisted in the army. i want to deeply thank sweet sorrow for showing me an amazing performance. (thank you, sweet sorrow) by the way, jinhwan, didn't you mimic baekho's voice before? - yes, i did. / - i see. (three weeks ago, he bravely mimicked baekho's singing)

- that was his best mimicry yet. / - really? - really. / - i was surprised. you've mimicked his voice on your own up until now. why don't we give that an upgrade? let's have him sing with the legend. - what? together? / - that's right. they will take turns singing. will you do that for your junior? but you know,

i don't sound like how i used to. that's not true. for us, your voice is always the same voice that we love. (his voice is always beautiful) i'm more nervous than when we performed. i'll start. (hesitating) (he sounds just like choi baekho)

- wow! / - thank you. it's my first time crying from listening to a mimicry. goodness. i got the chills. really. what's really incredible is that jinhwan sounded older than the original singer. (his voice sounded older) wow.

do you think he sounded like you? yes, he sounded like me when i was younger. - congratulations. / - thank you. now, let's find out what the audience thought. will kim bokyung win for the second time with her strong, charming voice? the four men who sang of memories from youth... will sweet sorrow

exceed bokyung's score and take their first win? (surprised) (sweet sorrow, a score of 424) a score of 424. amazing. (sweet sorrow take their first win with a score of 424) - sangil can tell the future! / - oh my goodness. he guessed correctly by how many votes sweet sorrow will win.

sweet sorrow beats kim bokyung and takes their first win with a score of 424. (he looks serious) now, i will choose our sixth and the last but not least, our seventh performers. we have lyn and lazybone left. right. this is what this performer said during the interview. (what could it be?)

"i have a wish that" "i'd like to fulfill through immortal songs." (the performer had a wish) "i don't care if i win or lose." "but" "i want to" "at least know what my score is" "even if i do lose." when one loses, the light turns off

so it's impossible to see the score. will he be able to see his score today? it's the band, lazybone. (the sixth performance by lazybone) lazybone. (naturally, the last performer will be) - wait. / - i have to go last. we just heard that you are curious about your score. do you think you will find out today?

we talked about it earlier, and we think sweet sorrow will win. (cheer up) lazybone, - go! / - you can do it! you can do it! - yes! / - do well! let's go. please win at least once.

go get them. 'let's go break the glasses' kim bokyung is back with us. (immortal songs' white tiger is back) i'm back. good job. - it was cute. / - your performance was cute - and tough at the same time. / - thank you. what's funny was that the ladies

- thought that you were cute. / - thank you. - thank you. / - you were so cute. we were talking about the dreams that we have. junho, what about you? yes, i have a new dream. my dream is for the three of us to sing on stage together and make good music. what about your wife, kim so hyun? we will invite her as a guest from time to time.

(we will invite her as a guest) - you know how so hyun laughs a lot? / - right. i think she'll be laughing while she watches this from home. (he mimics her) (laughing) "i should lock our front door." (she won't let him come home) you're in trouble.

- she already knows. / - what are you going to do? she does lock me out of our bedroom these days. we've grown to be optimistic after talking this through - among ourselves. / - that's true. we performed three times, but we couldn't win once. it was a stormy, winless march. (the first time, they lost to park kiyoung) (the second time, they lost to y)

(the third time, they lost to kim jungmin) i think it's a great record. if there's anyone experiencing a slump, compete against us. we will help you overcome it. we will help you win. that's our goal this year. the song we will perform today is choi baekho's "the friend from yeongil bay".

this song was made for us. our group is made up of people who came back to sing to have fun again. so the lyrics to this song are about us. it's a song that encourages one's friends. we prepared the song in our own unique style. ("the friend from yeongil bay") (was a song released in 1979) (it was sung at college towns)

(this song is still popular to this day) (choi baekho has said that he wrote this song) (in order to give young people hope and courage) (in 1995,) (the citizens of pohang, gyeongsangbuk-do erected) (a memorial stone for this song at yeongil bay) here comes the sixth performer, lazybone. we will try our best and show our deep respect for choi baekho.

(we will do our best to give you the best performance) ("the friend from yeongil bay" by lazybone) 'in a hut by the sea' 'is where my childhood friend lives' 'drinking the blue waves' 'he wakes up to the morning of the wide sea' 'no matter what people say' 'my friend's home is the sea' 'on the wings of a seagull'

'he writes a poem' 'let's hoist the sail that soars to the horizon' 'with the beating heart of our youth' 'sail the rough sea' 'my friend from yeongil bay' my dear friend, let's run into the blazing sea! dear friend, play the guitar!

hey, come on! come on, everybody! (let's play together!) (lazybone's "the friend from yeongil bay") they will win. it seems like they will win. our score is too low to make us the final winner. (how unfortunate) yes!

they are so lively. their interpretation of "the friend from yeongil bay" reminded me of meeting a very lively friend. lazybone is amazing. - and they sampled a famous song. / - that's right. watching their performance made me miss my friends. - your friends? / - i want to write a song for them. i should stop talking about alcohol, but i'm really craving salted oysters and soju.

- you want salted oysters. / - i really do. - i love it. / - salted oysters. salted oysters are the best among pickled dishes. i'm sure she will drink soju - after today's show. / - right. - lyn, it's your turn now. / - right. give us words of determination. it's the last performance. the trophy is within your reach.

my rearrangement isn't worthy of the trophy. i'm just happy for the chance to sing in front of choi baekho. while preparing this song, i learned about the heart and love of my father. it's a meaningful song to me, and i'm glad that i can sing it for everyone. all right. the artist who will perform last in the choi baekho special is lyn.

- good luck! / - good luck! (good luck, lyn) you can do this. earlier today, lazybone said that they wouldn't mind if they set a world record for not winning. how did you like their performance? during my interview, they asked me who i thought would win today.

so i told them that i just want lazybone to win. that's what i said. out of all of their performances that i've seen, i think this was one where they truly connected and became one with the audience. let's hear from the expert who - has correctly predicted today's results. / - he has. sir, who do you think will win? i have a feeling that lazybone will win today.

- you think lazybone will win today. / - yes. you haven't even watched lyn's performance yet. i say this because that's the vibe i got from the audience. and there is another crucial factor that i based my prediction on. unlike their past performances, today's performance was refined. - their performance today? / - that's what i felt.

- and they danced in sync. / - they danced in sync. my guess is that the audience will look kindly upon their efforts and give them the trophy. (here is a trophy for you) - that's plausible. / - that sounds right. (sweet sorrow versus lazybone) (let's win today) someone gave you inspiration

for "the friend from yeongil bay". - i heard he was your friend. / - yes. among my friends who lived in yeongil bay, there was a man named hong sujin. - he passed away. / - i see. i composed the song and wrote the lyrics while drinking with him. you must have really enjoyed your time with him to write a song about him.

back then, i didn't know i was happy. it was only after time had passed that i realized those were the days of happiness. - you're right. / - age has given me that clarity. how did you like lazybone's stage? (what did he think of lazybone's performance?) i was at a loss for words. - was it that great? / - yes, it was. it was splendid.

they added depth and complexity to a simple song. it was truly breathtaking. seriously, i would like to thank all the singers who have performed today. (he is thankful) as always, the audience applauded quite loudly

after lazybone's performance. but even though the audience always gave them a standing ovation and sang along, the light usually went off for lazybone. - that's right. / - it could be that the audience was tired and lacked the energy to press the button because your performance made them go wild. it's fine, really. it's good enough that we,

who came together through music, can enjoy ourselves and have fun on stage. our performances are fun, right? - yes. / - yes. okay. let's see who the audience has chosen. (a strong friendship and a deep, resonating sound) (will sweet sorrow take two consecutive wins?)

will sweet sorrow take their second win in a row? (a fun party with good friends) (will lazybone take their first win?) will lazybone finally be able to see their score? (let's see) (will it be a cheers with friends?) (will it be a party with friends?) (lazybone) (the audience finally chose lazybone)

lazybone! (they excitedly check their score on the screen) (it's the moment everyone has been waiting for) it's lazybone's first win on "immortal songs". - wow! / - this is amazing! with a score of 430, lazybone was able to check

- their score for the first time. / - that's awesome. - they took their first win. / - congratulations. (we congratulate lazybone on their first win) sweet sorrow is offering them sincere congratulations. (we congratulate you) please give them another big round of applause. please stop savoring your win and exit the stage. thank you. (okay)

- this is unbelievable. / - we won a round. i didn't know what to do when i found out that we won. - so this is what it feels like. / - it feels great. (they return to the waiting room to calm down) how incredible. my goodness, i'm crying. - congratulations. / - you did well. - you guys did well. / - congratulations. we are acting as if we won the trophy.

- i can't believe it. / - we did it. it was amazing. now that we won a round, - we only need to win once more. / - let's go up. let's get a trophy. - in one, two, three, let's go! / - let's go! (let's go, lazybone) lazybone got to check their score for the first time. and it was a high score of 430.

wow. i'm getting goose bumps. here comes the boys who dreamed of winning. they dreamed of winning. welcome back, sweet sorrow! (welcome back, sweet sorrow) (cheering) - you were amazing. / - really. - we thought you would win. / - i know. lazybone did an amazing job.

the members of y seem very happy to see us return. - how did you know? / - really? hojin had such a happy expression while looking at jinhwan. (jinhwan!) he was singing like this. (when you look back) (can you see my heart?) he was singing like that.

- it's because... / - i wondered how he could do that. - even junho and his wife don't sing / - i was... with such an expression. his was 200 times more expressive than that. i was acting a bit while singing. but it must have been too much. - he exaggerates too much. / - it was too much. how do you know baekho? when i was a rookie,

i went on a radio show with him. after listening to him singing live, i wept. i realized that singing is something that fills and stimulates one's heart. singing is what moves people's hearts. i realized that for the first time as a rookie. what song will you sing today?

the song i will sing is called "father" by choi baekho. i listened to this song a lot during my honeymoon. it could be because it was right after i got married, but it really touched me. the song reminded me of my father and his love. so i love this song. (choi baekho embedded his own style) (in a trot song for the first time)

(he claimed to have written the song after seeing) (the sadness in the eyes) (of the brides' fathers at a wedding) here comes the seventh performer, lyn. (the last performance by lyn) (she has returned after a long time) (she's pretty) hello, it's good to see you. i'm lyn. it's a song called "father".

i'm very nervous, but i will sing for you. (i will sing it with all my heart) ("father" by lyn) 'my heart is as dry as a rice paddy during drought' 'do you get how i feel now?' 'it's like a tree standing alone' 'in an empty field during a storm' 'that's right, you couldn't be more beautiful'

'you in that white dress' 'i wish you luck' 'be happy' 'that's all that i wish for' 'it only seemed like yesterday when you first walked' 'but now you're old enough to get married' 'years have passed like the flowing river' 'but i still remember them with my heart' 'that's right, don't cry'

'you'll ruin your pretty dress' 'don't cry, don't cry' 'that's all i want from you' 'that's all' 'i want from you' (trying to understand her father's heart) (father) everyone is crying in the waiting room. even the writers are crying.

regardless of whether you are married or not, the song portrays the relationship between fathers and daughters. i think any daughter would cry at the word "father". - even sangjin... / - even sangjin cried a lot. - why are you crying? / - aren't i embarrassing? - no way. / - we cried, too. who were you reminded of?

i usually don't cry easily. - but my father passed away early. / - i see. my mother had a difficult time after that. so i was reminded of those things. this song must have reminded you of your mother. - yes, i also thought of my father. / - you're right. i never had the chance to meet my father-in-law - because he passed away. / - i see. i think my wife and mother-in-law will

- cry while watching this. / - i'm sure. - i think so, too. / - right. while she was singing, - she bit her tongue. / - she bit her tongue. i think she was about to cry. she was making a face she has never made before. while everyone here is crying and taking to heart all the emotions that lyn expressed through her song,

why are you so cold-hearted, sangil? why aren't you crying? (he feels guilty) i would like to take back what i said about lazybone going to win. our fortune teller here couldn't cry because he was worried that his last guess might have been wrong. what do you think will happen?

- i think lyn will win. / - okay. we all share the same sentiments - for our parents, right? / - of course. i also thought long and hard as to whether i should sing "about romance" or "father", but i gave up singing "father", even though i wanted to. - why? / - i was worried i'd cry. you were worried you'd start crying while singing.

because back when i performed simcheongjeon, - my role was the blind father. / - that's right. and shortly before i had to perform, my dad passed away. - oh dear. / - and as we all know, the blind father cries out in sorrow as he lets his daughter go. he says, "i'd rather sell my eyes and buy you than sell you"

"and see the world. what purpose does that have?" "please don't leave me." at that moment, all the members knew that my father had passed away, and we had to stop the play because i was crying so much. so i really wanted to sing "father", but i gave up. i respect lyn for

singing perfectly until the end, even while she was crying. - you're right. / - i think that makes her a very gifted singer. i'm not married, so i don't have my own kids yet. but when my younger sister got married, i walked in with her in my father's place since i am the head of our household.

i wonder if what i felt that day comes close to a father's heart. when i let go of my sister's hand, i felt something surge up my throat. my sister and i both cried a lot that day. after i let her go, i had to hug my brother-in-law. as i hugged him, i got so emotional that i nearly choked him. he told me

he couldn't breathe. i was embarrassed. i remember apologizing to my brother-in-law at the wedding. (today's final performance) (lyn versus lazybone) baekho, don't you have a daughter? - yes, i do. / - right. "father" must be a special song for you.

how did you like the performance? i am a personal fan of lyn. - i like her songs. / - okay. while listening to her sing today, i made up my mind not to let my daughter get married. she sounded so pained that i kept choking back tears. i loved that feeling. thank you. (thank you)

the word "father". every time we hear that word, it strikes our chests and penetrates our hearts. i've been married for two years now. i was constantly reminded of my father's face at the wedding. he looked very happy, but i kept wondering how he must have felt deep inside. only the final result is remaining.

a romantic poet who sings of life, the choi baekho special. at the moment, lazybone is keeping their status as a potential winner after winning for the very first time with a score of 430. will lazybone take their second win today and also the trophy? or will lyn, our last performer, dramatically take her first and final win?

(two very different performances) i'm very curious. (a match between singers of very different styles) let's see who the audience (fatherly love versus joyful friendship) (they fulfilled their earnest wish) (now they aim for the final victory) (the heartbreaking sentiment of fatherly love) (that made many daughters cry)

(next week) today's legend is the hero of the melodies that we loved. he has touched many of us with his beautiful lyrics and sweet melodies. he was loved for numerous songs including "my love by my side" and "between love and friendship". today's legend is oh taeho. (today's legend, oh taeho)

(love, the distant longing) ("even if a memorable day comes" by jung in) (a soft voice that captivates the audience) ("between love and friendship" by lee yejoon) (the perfect harmony of four men) ("humble confession" by sweet sorrow) i want to pat you on the back. i am personally proud of jimin. (she received high compliments from the legend himself)

("if only i began" by hong jimin) (a sorrowful story that resonates our hearts) ("my love by my side" by jung dongha) (a beautiful lady's extreme transformation) ("a night's dream" by park kiyoung) (an exciting performance for everyone to enjoy) ("farewell unlike farewell" by dickpunks) (they will come visit you at this time next week) (our glorious days from youth, composer oh taeho)

(lyn) lyn received a score of 437. (final winner, lyn) i knew it. lyn is the final winner with a score of 437. congratulations! she's the best. please give both

lyn and lazybone a big round of applause. (choi baekho, a romantic poet who sings of life) ("medicine" by baek zyoung, feat. verbal jint)
