In the 613th episode of KBS2's 'Immortal Song', which aired on the 1st, part 2 of 'The Last Song' was aired. Following Moon-tak Seo, Forestella, Ki-tae Kim, Seong-yun Yun, and Dong-hyun Kim who took the stage last week, Jang-hyeok Cho, In-jeong, Youn-ha, Pil Kim, and Jun-su Kim sang the last song with the trophy in the second part.
Younha was called as the protagonist of the first stage. Younha, who did not hide her desire to win, took the stage by selecting BTS' song 'Spring Day'. Younha greeted, "I received a lot of love through 'Immortal Song'" and "I want to give back the love I received." Younha radiated her unique and elegant tone and presented a stage reminiscent of a beautiful animation. All the famous song judges smiled with emotion. Regarding Younha’s performance, Go Woo-rim admired, “It was a song like sunshine on a spring day.”
Kim Junsu went on stage for the second time and sang 'Han Gyeryeong'. 'Hangyeryeong' said, “I started pansori at the age of 11 and practiced in the mountains. Kim Junsu introduced that it was a song that comforted me when I wanted to give up. In particular, he made full use of his main skill by arranging with elements of Korean traditional music. The roaring ending at the end of the stage was enough to arouse everyone's admiration. Yoon Seong praised, “It was a stage with a depth of 20 years of Korean traditional music,” and Jo Jang-hyeok said, “It seems like that to have sounded.” Younha defeated Kim Junsu and won 1st.
The third was Jung-in's 'For You' stage. Jung-in calmly started singing, saying, "It's really like the last stage." Jung-in, who sings to the piano accompaniment, filled the stage with her unique voice. Jung In-man's unadorned and uncluttered voice and sensibility sucked in the masterpiece judges. On Jung-in's stage, even her competitor, Youn-ha, drew attention by shedding tears. Seo Moon-tak said, “It was a stage where you can feel Jung-in’s hard inner side,” and Jo Jang-hyeok commented, “I liked the indie-like feeling that only Jung-in can do.” Younha was once again selected by the Masterpiece Jury and won two victories.
Kim Pil received the fourth baton for 'We'. Pil Kim started singing, hoping, “When you need strength, I hope you can be of strength even for 5 minutes out of 24 hours a day.” Kim felt relaxed and sang comfortably, sending a message of consolation. Kim Pil led the audience with his free stage management, radiating his own color throughout. On this stage, Jo Jang-hyeok said, “I sing songs that follow the soul without paying attention to the public. A courageous young man.” Jung-in praised, saying, “It was so sexy.” Kim Pil stopped Younha from winning 3 in a row and succeeded in winning 1.
Cho Jang-hyeok's 'After Love' was the last song. “If it was my last stage, I wanted to sing a wild chrysanthemum song,” he honestly stood on stage. From the first verse, Cho Jang-hyeok drew everyone's attention with his overwhelming timbre and emotion. The non-flashy arrangement made Jo Jang-hyeok's voice stand out even more. Jo Jang-hyeok and the atmosphere of 'After Love' harmonized and gave the same feeling as one work. Jung-in commented, “I felt like I was number one in the first verse,” and Younha commented, “Next year is my 20th anniversary, and looking at this stage, I feel like a kid.”
The masterpiece judge's choice was Kim Pil, with a difference of only two votes. The stage of Kim Pil, who showed off his own world of music with unpretentiousness and perseverance, was selected by the most famous song judges, and he enjoyed the joy of winning the final.
The special feature of 'The Last Song', which started with the question, 'What song is your last performance as a singer?', was filled with rich stories as songs containing the special stories of the cast members were released. In addition, the stage full of sincerity presented by thinking of the 'last' gave a greater impression to the master song judges and viewers. It is a response that the stage and song with a meaningful concept once again reminded me of the value and importance of the present.
