(twice as happy and moving when with a friend you love) (the special summer trip that'll fulfill your souls) (it all starts now!) (sing happiness with loving friends) (immortal songs, singing the legend) before we get started, i need to say a few words of gratitude. our show has become the first korean show that won an international award.
"2015 banff world media festival," one of the three international media festivals, has awarded us with the best music and variety award. also back in april, we won second place at the 48th houston international film festival. it's all thanks to everyone who tunes into our show, and those that come here despite their busy schedules each week.
thank you so much. they say that the best mirror is an old friend. that's why we put this special together. friends that you wouldn't have imagined will perform on stage today. immortal songs, singing the legend. let's kick off the show. immortal songs, - singing the legend! / - singing the legend!
today on immortal songs, we put together a very special episode. - he made his debut here... / - that's right. as a classical singer, and today he's accompanied by a world-renowned soprano. please welcome park youngkyu and lee yungyeong. it's great to be here. (deep breath) are you nervous?
- i'm incredibly nervous. / - really? you're much like how you were the last time we saw you. your neck is making a statement. (today, last time) (but in reality, he's just midal's dad) i'm trying to get that look going for me. i want to lose my comedic side as midal's dad. "my stomach!" why are you trying to forget about the good days?
don't act so fake. just sit back and relax. i'd like you to relax your voice as well. you're trying so hard with your neck, which is making me uncomfortable! - will you sing another classical song? / - sure. but today i'm with a world-renowned prima donna. yungyeong is currently performing in operas in italy, but i asked her to be here for me today.
whenever i'm in seoul or on my way to see him, he always picks me up no matter what. he picks you up himself? he would personally drive me around when we meet, and he would take me to my next destination afterwards. everything we did together has been building up - as a source of... / - source or sauce? (ketchup, fish, worcestershire, soy sauce, mustard) the viewers at home all understood me.
(you're the only one who didn't get it.) i was the only clueless one? i'm so sorry! sir, i'm so sorry. anyway, we look forward to your performance. all right. these next two celebrities - attended the same high school, / - is that so? and i heard he didn't shave for his performance today. - are you sure about that? / - just for today's show?
please welcome jeong hanyong and kim seunghwan! welcome. hanyong wanted to come here today unshaved in this "godfather" look. - "godfather"? / - yes. i don't have any work these days, so i haven't been shaving. seunghwan said that this is the first time he has heard hanyong sing while sober.
he only sings after a few drinks? yes, he always drinks before singing. he's never been above ground after 8 p.m. so always in a basement? so... wait, are we underground? - no. / - we're above ground. youngkyu, you used to be like that too, but you're not these days, right? - like what? / - no, forget that i said anything.
these days, i never go to a basement floor. (mr. park youngkyu, a new man) - without a drink he... / - talk about you, not me. (sure...) why are you talking about me? i really put a lot of thought into my outfit today. i even have a pair of normal glasses here. - with this... / - you look amazing! there's the actor we all know!
i look like a government employee. i feel less afraid with these on. that is most important. do the sunglasses make you feel like you're in a basement? (it is familiar) because it's dark! he usually sings in basements! so if he creates that environment,
things might get more comfortable for him. we'll look forward to hanyong and seunghwan's stage. she's known in the theater industry for her incredible talent. please welcome seo leesook and dk! these two majored in vocal performance, and these two are actors from the same high school. but then we get to you, and it seemed like you were forced to perform together!
did you know each other? no, we met because of this. you saw him for the first time... - during rehearsals? / - yes, i did. but thanks to this show, we became friends. you became friends? the thing i was most surprised by was... was it because she was much older than you thought? or was it because she's so tall?
(he's so annoying!) dk probably pictured someone like hyeongyeong! he was hoping for someone like hyeongyeong but... she wasn't the one he pictured. is it true? no, of course not. this is a list of the tv dramas she's been in. "the heirs," "empress ki," "you're all surrounded," "unkind women," "jejoongwon,"
"the duo," "feast of the gods"... youngkyu, i think she's been in more dramas than you. wouldn't you agree? don't you think she's been in a lot of dramas? are there still more to the list? yes, there are. - there are loads more! / - there are more! is this really your first time on a variety show? yes, it is.
that's why i was blushing a lot. well, we look forward to what you guys prepared. she loves our show so much that she came to watch in the audience. these two went to the same high school. it's lee dongwoo and oh hyeongyeong! when you came in through the door, i got to see the glow of a miss korea. you really are incredibly beautiful.
most miss korea winners have a glow behind them, but hers is up front. she glows from the front, not from the back! how come you're so beautiful? they say that beauty is given. (witty) (she's pretty with a sense of humor) dongwoo, what do you think of that statement? - i'm sorry. / - as her friend of 25 years,
- what do you think? / - hyeongyeong... a student sitting in a classroom should look natural, but she didn't look like she fit in. why not? she wasn't someone who should be there. she was glowing every time i opened the classroom door. - i get that! / - were you surprised? she was not supposed to be sitting in a classroom! did you have a crush on her?
excuse me? come on. be honest with us. i'm sure that many are thinking the same thing. why didn't you have a crush on me? she could be upset by that! who will be the first pair to perform? i'm going to choose right now. - here he goes. / - is this really random? - yes, it's right on the spot. / - really?
oh, no! she's such a talented actress, and i've been eyeing her for quite some time. did you know that she has a unique past? she got into college way after her time but still mastered pansori, gyeonggi folk song... she mastered them all. it's the charming actress seo leesook & dk of december! leesook and dk will be performing first!
wow, this really isn't scripted! i thought that the first and last to perform - were somewhat decided. / - oh gosh! we haven't done that since the fifth republic! we don't fake things here on our show. it's time to say something and take the stage. i don't know. i'll just make sure i have a good time. i don't think i've even been this nervous before.
youngkyu, you've performed first before. can you give her some advice? i'm shaking over here too. it's natural to be nervous, however, once it's over, you feel so good. that's right. everybody waiting here is stressed out until the end, but you can get it over with and... - that helped so much! / - all right.
- good luck to the both of you! / - good luck! good luck! - is it this way? / - it's this way. i couldn't hear the beat earlier and that worries me. i didn't think i'd get called out first! what kind of a show are you running here? i've been performing on stage for 20 years, but i've never been this nervous before. i thought that the musicians were exaggerating,
but they weren't. hyeongyeong, i heard that - you had scenes on set to shoot today. / - yes. they don't let you skip a day like that, but still she made it here. i did have a lot of scenes to shoot today, and i was worried that i might not get time off. but this is the first time dongwoo asked me, and i also wanted to make memories with him.
so i just honestly told my producer everything. the actors and actresses here all know what it means to get time off - when you're shooting on set. / - it's impossible! it's something that never happens. it just shows how good i've been. (thank you for your leniency) the military is a special place for men, and these two became friends there.
it's ydg and jung jun! both of them started their careers as child actors too. i knew who he was, but we never really crossed paths. he was like an idol to me though. to child actors, ydg was like... - the textbook of acting. / - that's right. he was one of the best child actors. ydg, you're looking really cool today.
he is. i'm sorry. i just meant to child actors. - just child actors! / - i'm sorry. jun was talking just now and... hello, i'm an actor, seo leesook. and i'm dk of december. it's great to be here. (a bundle of emotions and a sorrowful voice) (the ballad artist who drenches your heart, dk) (skills harnessed in the theater)
she used that opportunity to gain favor (charismatic actor that adds flavor) you blame it on your weakness. that stupid girl. i'm so upset. she played a lot of different characters, but the one i remember the most was her portrayal as the charismatic court lady. her eyes were just...
but in person i saw that she has thick double eyelids and big eyes. her personality was like a young girl, too. - she's also an amazing singer. / - no, i'm not. she's good, and we had great chemistry. what will you sing today? today we're going to the sea to lie in it. it's "lie down in the sea." ("lie down in the sea")
(the song by the woman-man duo, "nopeuneumjary") (it won the 1985 mbc college music festival) (the upbeat rhythm and the refreshing tone) (of the female vocalist is what stands out) (it instantly gained popularity upon its release) (the lyrics were written by the poet, park haesu) (the songwriter, kim jangsu, fell in love with it) (so he came up with the song in five minutes) i'm happy, but i don't suppose you are.
no, i'd love to lie in the sea. - i could get a tan... / - save it. you're too late. first up are seo leesook and dk! (the cheering and clapping helps with the nerves) - hello! / - hi! hello, i'm dk of december. it's great to be here. i'm an actor, seo leesook, and i'm happy to be here. dongyeop, how could you choose me first when i'm a big fan of yours?
we're going to have fun though. tell them what we're singing. right, the song. today we're singing nopeuneumjary's "lie down in the sea". we'll lie down for you today. let's go. we'll do our best. ("lie down in the sea" by seo leesook & dk)
it finally sparkles less. to the rising tide, millions of stars all sleep separately. my heart just flows like the water. it's all good, but i don't see it flowing. singing is another form of acting. you should portray various emotions. now do it again. - now? / - what you did was too weak. i'm sweating like crazy over here.
should i quit being a singer? no, it's not that bad. it's too early to give up so have some confidence. i prepared one to sing at an actual beach. - can i try that? / - sure. would that be all right with you? i brought with me some good looking friends, - so i'll bring them out. / - okay, let's do this. guys, come on! let's go!
that's great. this is what i'm talking about! hang on! okay. it's all good, but there are just too many of them. - where are you going? / - no, i can't... wait, don't do this to me! i'm born and i lie down in the sea and see the sunset. the waves drenched in the unripe sun
get washed away like tears. maybe i'll lie down in the sea and become a lonely waterfowl. will the port know the deep heart of the water? i'm so exhausted. i can't sing anymore! you're tired because of that? come on, get up! did you think acting was that easy? - let's change it up. / - okay. - i'll show some more emotions. / - that's right.
- here i go. / - let's hear it. - dip diriri... / - that's great. sing with us! one, two, three, four! maybe i'll lie down in the sea... lie down in the sea! (the charismatic actress and a singer full of emotions) - thank you. / - thank you. let's go to the sea!
(it was like a scene from a musical) (can you imagine how much work went into this?) i think there's something he wants to say. when he sits up, it means that he wants to say something. for a team that was suddenly put together, they had great chemistry. - that's right. / - it was energetic. it didn't look rushed at all.
it seemed like that they had been performing in night clubs for a long time. (his words took a slight curve) - he means other events. / - he threw a curveball! now i'll choose the next pair to perform. he sang a song full of hope for his daughter, and he left many of us in tears last time he was here. today he'll move us again with his friend of 25 years.
you guys are up next. - hang on. / - hang on a second. wait a minute. were you expecting this? we don't care when we perform. really? - are you that confident? / - yes, i am. nobody can sing as well as you can? you'll be shocked!
i'm certain that this team will win! oh hyeongyeong and lee dongwoo, - let's go! / - let's go! she's so beautiful and elegant. you're right. he has cast the music and tv entertainment industry. it's song jieun and sleepy! - you mean he's on tv shows a lot? / - what did i say? those who cast celebrities are producers and writers.
jieun was on immortal songs in the early days, on the second and sixth episodes. it's been four years since you've been here. did you think that our show would end soon? or were you too busy with your group, secret? when i was here, i had the lowest points. thanks for comforting me. sleepy said that he's going to take everybody down. he was like, "you had the lowest points?"
"i'll take everybody down." does that include these veteran actors, like youngkyu and hanyong? i opened my mouth not knowing who the opponents were. what's youth without confidence like that? of course, you should be here with your guns out. it's because she said she came in last both times. we'll drop dead for you today so do your thing. no, don't be like that!
what about your partner, yungyeong? - i'll be fine. / - yes, we'll be fine. i'll die for them too. you must want a trophy - since you're here. / - that's right. who do you think will be your biggest rival today? well, i'm a rapper so... so it's ydg and jung jun? jun will play jieun's role in this team then!
i mean if it was a one-on-one matchup. (the superman who sings about hope, lee dongwoo) (a father's song dedicated to his daughter) (he's here for the second time) (1989 miss korea winner, oh hyeongyeong) (a beautiful face worthy of the title) (she's even a talented actor) i'm displeased to find your stuff in my husband's room. (the loyal oh hyeongyeong)
(now she's here on immortal songs!) hello, i'm lee dongwoo. hi, i'm oh hyeongyeong. thanks to dongwoo, i'm getting a chance to sing on a show where only talented artists perform. it's an honor. how did it feel when dongwoo asked you? it wasn't easy making the decision to come here. when dongwoo was about to lose his eyesight,
he told me about his condition and asked if he could capture how i look for the last time. he called up a lot of his close friends just like that. but i brushed him off without really thinking, and i still feel guilty about how i handled that. i was ashamed that i wasn't more understanding when i too was sick once. i asked if it was okay even though i can't sing, but he said that it was
and i should focus on how amazing this memory would be. it's "wanderer." it'll be sung by two old friends, so i hope people can relate to... the passing of time and life we portray. i'm going to lose myself in the music, reminisce my time with dongwoo, and think of our time to come in that moment. (wanderer)
(it was the theme song) (of the 1964 kbs radio series "wanderer") (the show comforted those exhausted with their lives) (both the show and the song were a huge hit) (in 1966, a movie of the same title was released) (it did well overall and had 100,000 viewers) (the lyrics were written by kim seokya) (after he felt the joy and sorrow of those) (traveling across the cheonan three-way intersection)
(and a monument was placed there to commemorate it) next up are lee dongwoo and oh hyeongyeong. (what do these two old friends have in store for us?) you're so pretty! ("wanderer" by lee dongwoo & oh hyeongyeong) life is a wanderer's path. where are we from? where are we going?
a naked body. we come empty-handed. and we leave empty-handed. just like a cloud floating away, we drift along the path so don't be bound by emotions. don't leave any regrets. life is a wanderer's path. it just floats by without a destination. piano!
i love hyeongyeong. like a river flowing, on its way of streaming away, don't be bound by emotions, life is a naked body. it flows without a sound. it flows without a sound. it flows without a sound.
(a friendship stronger than what any two men have) thank you. (the high school friends of 25 years!) bravo! that was so nice. hyeongyeong sounded like a little girl. what about me? you sounded sexy. - why are you laughing? / - it was powerful. i'm sorry.
(a standing ovation) everyone is up even though we didn't plan this, except youngkyu. this was a game, and you just lost. i was clapping with my eyes closed. that's how you sing a song. - from the heart? / - you could just feel it. who do you think will win this round? both teams were amazing,
but i think the latter will win. what do you see them getting out of 500 points? i say just slightly over 400. you see them getting a high score. that's not good for the teams waiting to perform. - i don't care. / - he's right. so what if we lose? yes, of course. i thought the same thing the last time i was here,
but losing did make me a bit angry. - you get angry if you lose! / - you can't help it. ydg, what did you think? i'm sure that others felt this too, but there was a moment where the lyrics told their story almost perfectly. i'm so lucky to have witnessed that in person. artists are so focused just singing songs these days, so to hear one that portrayed their lives was...
i was trying to focus, but jaehyung was so distracting! he was moaning at the sight of her. she's so cute! - he really likes her! / - what's wrong with him? i was trying to concentrate, but he kept getting on my nerves! he's never acted this way before! (seo leesook & dk versus lee dongwoo & oh hyeongyeong) leesook?
(feeling sorry) were you upset that i chose you first? i was very upset, and i was a big fan of yours. likewise. so now you don't like me anymore just because i picked you to sing first? i'm still fond of you, but not as much. i think it'll get that way. - that's how nervous being first is. / - okay.
you must have practiced a lot with dk. what do you find so charming about him? he's very diligent, and he thinks he's still not famous enough, which is why he always works hard. (laugh) that's why his songs are so genuine. he also sweats a lot, so it looks like he's the only one who performed.
i heard that leesook suggested that you try acting. i saw him acting in his music video, and i loved his vibe. that's because there weren't any lines. why don't you guys do a few lines for us? "dk, you're way too young for me." "we can't be together!" then dk goes, "no, i'm not going to treat you like someone older" "leesook. leesook!" say things like that.
okay, let's do this. they're doing this on the spot. "dk, i really can't do this." "i like you too," "but we can't be together." "people will throw stones at us." "we shouldn't do this." "who cares about our age?" "i only need you."
"i only need you, leesook!" you're doing it all wrong! (he saw too many classics) (cringe) promise us that you'll just focus on your singing. now let's go over to hyeongyeong. hello. hi. - hi, dongwoo. / - hi! hi, dongyeop.
the three of us are friends. in high school, dongwoo was the perfect student like lee seunggi. the older girls would tell me to stand up when dongwoo got on the school bus and i did. (the battle to get the perfect boy) hyeongyeong isn't one of the best singers out there, but she did great today. i think i could do better if i did it again.
no, you were good. now i know you like to rap too. - do you want me to do it right here? / - yes. i sent you away that moment. i guess i was too in love with you. i want to say it. i want to say it. so where are you? all right! just leave on your own accord! i'll forget our days together.
i'll forget them with you. believe it or not, love is back and forth... i don't know the rest! (she's not a bad rapper either) you can't mess with the audience today. at first, they were clapping to encourage you. but after a few lines, they started to clap faster so that you finish early. now let's see who the audience has chosen.
(they were good for a team that improvised) (both singing and acting were splendid) (she changed her schedule for her best friend) (the one that was fun versus the one that was touching) (neck and neck) - let's see. / - let's see. seo leesook and dk! with 374 points, seo leesook and dk take the lead! please give them another big round of applause!
what did we get? we got 374 points. (am i dreaming right now?) what if we won by one point? that could be the case. it's time to choose the next pair to perform. i feel like he always plays a rich man on tv dramas.
he's either a rich man, a conglomerate or a director of a hospital. (both actors look like rich men) he ended up getting a good image, but in reality it became a burden because people kept saying that he should pay. they're the actors, jeong hanyong and kim seunghwan! (what a relief) he did take on the role of many owners.
(sigh) why are you sighing all of a sudden? the lyrics... i was thinking of what the lyrics were and... it's time for you to take the stage. would you like to say something? i'm doomed. seunghwan, how about you? i've never seen him so nervous before.
shooting ten tv series would be much easier! jeong hanyong and kim seunghwan, - let's go! / - good luck! - we're doomed. / - i know. i'm sort of out of breath. why am i like this all of a sudden? i'm as nervous as i was when i first debuted. let's now see what talents our friends have. first up is sleepy.
he's been entertaining us on variety shows lately. he got this new nickname, "sleepy zombie," from doing a military exercise that became the talk of the town, and i was hoping we could see that here today. the actors here are going to be so shocked! come on. show us! i was doing my best, and i guess that was hilarious. let's see you do your best here too. once you do about 3,000 of these...
(snort) (sleepy zombie) so that's how that happened! that was amazing! i did that in the military too and 3,000 of those... i know. it's not easy, right? sleepy and jieun, you guys sang a song together, but secret is known for their song "madonna." can we ask you both to dance to that?
(sleepy comes out to dance because he was asked) (but it looks so sad) (moving) (hot! hot! hot!) (he does his best) (sexy) that was cute! dongwoo and hyeongyeong are back! could there be a song more moving than yours?
during your song, seunghwan cried and i yelled. we'll never get to see a performance like that again. can i sing a few lines again? (she's not satisfied with her debut performance) - it was amazing. / - it was so cool! in fact, jaehyung was... would you like to partner up with me next time? i think he wants to do it! during your song, he was saying how cute you were.
sleepy, get in line! she'll do a duet with you if you do! i'd love the opportunity to perform with you. if i was a judge of the grand bell awards, i'd give you guys the award for best motion picture. it was that touching. - thank you. / - that's enough for me. - it's true. / - my rap was pretty poor though. i haven't done it in a while so i forgot the lyrics.
don't you rap too? no, it's the only thing i can do. that's how i get the kids to play with me. why don't we hear you rap again? we've been showing off our talents here. - right now? / - yes. one, two, three! hot, hot, hot. hot, hot, hot. my heart is on fire.
i forgot the lyrics again! she really is good. we should get a karaoke machine in here next time. she really is a good rapper, but if we rapped instead of singing that song, i don't think it would have been that touching. - we should dwell on that. / - he's right. hello, i'm jeong hanyong. hi, i'm kim seunghwan.
people would be wondering what our connection is. we actually graduated from the same high school. we're ten years apart. (snap!) i'm sorry. we're not that far apart. - it's only a couple of years. / - a couple of years. it's "i who lost love" by lee gwangjo. ("i who lost love") (a song from lee gwangjo's sixth album)
(released in 1985) (an emotional pop ballad that showcased) (the poet of the 80s) (kwon inha who wrote the song and the lyrics) (debuted as a singer after releasing this song) this is an opportunity to show a different side of me, so i'll do my best. i hope you show us your support. one, two, three.
- let's go! / - let's go! next up are jeong hanyong and kim seunghwan. the song we're singing is "i who lost love." no one knows it, right? it's a great one to sing when you're lonely, so i hope you all join us. ("i who lost love" by jeong hanyong & kim seunghwan) in a small cafe where black curtains are drawn i look so pale between the faded lights.
i have to forget our innocent memories, so i fill my pale figure in the glass. in my heart where i failed at love is full of sadness that never dries. sending you away i lost love. i lost love. (only those who loved know this loneliness) it was like a theme song from a honk kong movie. the way hanyong sang was like
ten percent of sound and 90 percent of air. (all air) it was like this! i was able to get that deep scent of a real man. he drew us in completely. it was like a noir. youngkyu, what did you think? that's his character. hanyong has that vibe, so it really suited him.
he looked good in those sunglasses too. i'm sorry, but can you say that with more soul? weren't you the one who called me out on that earlier? so it really suited him. "he looked good in those sunglasses too." will they be able to beat leesook and dk? i think hanyong's team will win. hanyong and seunghwan? yes, i think they'll win.
what score do you see them getting? can't you ask the questions over there? this is the last one before we wrap things up. the last one? i think about 390 points. 390 points is a really high score. - i think they're going to win but... / - yes? didn't you tell me to turn to them? that's why i turned around.
but go ahead. i guess he has something left to say. do you want me to go? okay, i got permission. - ydg! / - ydg! - ydg! / - what did you think? today's episode somehow turned into an "actor special." it's a "friends special" as well as an "actor special." when he sang the last line "i lost love,"
i too began to think who the real "me" was when i've been playing so many different characters. i felt like i'd be singing that song when i'm his age. i could relate to it and understand his worries. it was a song about his worries as an actor. he's not at all like when he sings on stage. - do you mean ydg? / - yes. when he sings on stage, he's like a young boy. - but when he talks, he sounds so mature. / - right.
both sides of him really caught me off guard. are you done being surprised? if you are, i'll now move on. all right! he's done being surprised! what a relief! finally, he's done being surprised! now it's jun's turn to talk. people have been telling me since i was young that i'd look like hanyong when i get older.
so i was told to look up to him as a role model. when i'm his age, i'd love to sing here with my sunglasses on too. i hope this show is still on until then. what's it like now that you're done? i don't remember if we did okay or not. i can't remember how i even sang the song. i advise you not to. it's probably for the best. seunghwan said to our producers in our pre-interview
that you tune into our show often. yes, i haven't missed an episode. - i'm a huge fan of the show. / - i see. when you're watching, do you normally guess who's going to win the round? yes, i normally get it right. - is that so? / - yes. it's because i always watch the original broadcast. what do you think about this round?
- us? /- yes. i'm sorry. i think we're going to lose. (a man of integrity) hanyong, is that what you think? i bet there are those who felt what i was singing so... you never know. it's really hard to tell. if things get a little dark, just think that it's because of your shades to make things easy.
let's see who the audience has chosen. (seo leesook & dk versus jeong hanyong & kim seunghwan) (seo leesook & dk's "lie down in the sea") (jeong hanyong & kim seunghwan's "i who lost love") the cougar couple is at 374 points. will leesook and dk be able to win another round? or will the lonely two guys in a film noir, jeong hanyong and kim seunghwan take the lead? (startled)
(the audience's choice, seo leesook & dk) how amazing is that! congratulations to you once again. with 374 points, leesook and dk win another round! the one that moved us and the film noir lost. singing from the heart doesn't work. - today is all about having fun. / - yes, energetic! i told you that was what i wanted to do! the next pair to take the stage is...
they are truly best friends. they are. but one of them said that he was confused so deeply because of the other. he was so good to him that he thought it was more than just friendship. (is it us?) they're one of the best partners in the industry. - ydg? / - yes? is the song you're singing a fun one?
it's "oh, happy day." that's pretty energetic. we're singing it in hopes that every day is like today. don't sing it from the heart though. - he's right. / - you really shouldn't. - the heart doesn't work today. / - keep it light. jun, would you like to say something too? i'm going to do my best today. even if i miss a beat, i'm going to keep going.
you two are the same age. it's a performance by two friends. ydg and jung jun, i'm so looking forward to this one! (ydg & jung jun) i love the music that ydg does, but i didn't really want to sing on stage with him. - you never pictured this? / - not this picture. i was just a fan, but now it's come to this.
you guys must be on the same page since... - we're not. / - we're completely off. we're almost polar opposites. so what will the two best friends sing? it's "oh happy day." the reason i lived for 37 years. the reason i first started as an actor... in the 1987 kbs drama "tamri." it was enough to make me feel that
i lived 37 years just to perform this song today. it has that much of an impact. so i'm already starting to shake. oh, happy - day. / - day. next up are ydg and jung jun! who am i? do i have to do it too? - jung jun! / - jung jun!
i didn't think you'd do it so thank you. today we're singing "oh happy day." ("oh happy day" by ydg & jung jun) (special guest singers, heritage) come on! it's not easy to live your life. you can't be happy alone so open your eyes. were you searching for the answer at a crossroad?
friend, let's sing. this is your destiny! i'm h.a.p.p.y and with heritage. we are friends singing together. whenever, wherever, we walk eyeing the same place. let go of hate, fight, jealousy, envy trust, hope, love, especially love! one, two, one, two, three! one more time! everybody, one, two, one, two!
(the song was more cheerful since we sang it together) let's give them a big round of applause. they are heritage and the mass choir! and hyoongbae! it's like a performance that you end shows with! with everybody joining in, right? aren't you only supposed to perform in pairs? are they all friends? that we should investigate.
we should find out if they're linked. this special is supposed to be about friends! we can't invite business related people here. life is all about business anyway. he gave us another wise saying today. "life is all about business anyway." - i feel much better now. / - what do you mean? i still was messed up from our previous stage, but this healed me completely.
immortal songs should do things often. the music was very finished and polished. i was thinking that they're the ones to beat. the performance was so elaborate and perfect although they did have a lot of help. nobody seems to be letting that go. i can't imagine how much they must have rehearsed. it was an amazing performance. yungyeong, i noticed that when you're excited,
you talk in a dialect. no, i don't! you know what's hard though? it's not because i'm nervous, but because i can't laugh out loud. - i can't have a hoarse throat. / - that's right. it was so fun, but i couldn't really enjoy it. hang on. wasn't she adorable just now? she's in a dress and...
youngkyu is not like this because he wants to look cool. he's making sure that - he's relaxing his throat. / - he's taking care of it. he's trying to calm it down. we should have gotten chosen first. then i could get back early and do this! right now, i can't even talk! ydg and jung jun are both 37 years old,
but they've been in the industry for 29 and 25 years. you were amazing. how does it feel now that it's over? jun, let's start with you. i've never been on a stage like this before, so i just tried to have fun. i don't know what the audience thought but... leesook, what did you think of their performance? we had more fun than we did with our song. it was amazing.
- we were both jumping up and down. / - we had fun. i'm covered in sweat once again, and leesook got more excited than she was with ours. it was such an amazing stage. i know that ydg is great at arranging performances, and i think this showed off his skills. let's take a look at the result. (seo leesook & dk versus ydg & jung jun) (ydg & jung jun's "oh happy day")
will the couple with a twist, seo leesook and dk win again with 374 points? or will the show unlike no other in scale and style stop their winning streak and take the lead? (who is it?) (surprised) 429 points! 429 points. that's amazing! please give them another round of applause!
i'm speechless. now it's time to see who will perform fifth and sixth. youngkyu is so nervous that he can hardly breathe. they got too much of a high score. no one knew that these two had this much chemistry. recently they released a song with an addictive melody and relatable lyrics about a sweet romance blooming in a summer night that has been ranking high up in the charts.
they're here to cool us from this heat. it's the hot rapper sleepy and song jieun of secret! song jieun and sleepy! they're colleagues signed with the same agency. jieun, how about a few words? i think we really should do our best. honestly, i'm feeling the pressure. ydg's performance was so big and perfect. should we make some calls right now?
we should call everyone that we know! they were prepared to win this week. i'm sure they called those that they don't know too. there's no way that they know all of them. after hearing that jieun came last twice, i said that i'll take them all down. "i'll take everybody down today." but i don't think i can. no!
he's suddenly gotten all weak! - but... / - but? but? but we also worked hard on our performance today. of course. if you're still anxious though, we can all hop onto the stage for you. dongwoo, what a great idea! if you get anxious, we'll all join you.
so don't worry. keep in mind that we've got your back, and do your thing. song jieun and sleepy, - good luck! / - you can do it! you're all here with your close friends, and now we're going to have you tell us a secret that only you know and we don't. you were praising hyeongyeong,
but is there anything you want to reveal about her? i'd love to talk about her flaws, but it's so frustrating because she's just perfect. we talked about drinking earlier, and one of the reasons we drink - is to lower our inhibitions. / - that's right. however, she's never like that. 25 years ago in school and even now, she's always pretty and perfect.
i guess that could be her flaw though. after three bottles of soju, she's got it together? i can't drink three bottles! she says that she's too full to drink three. she has a small stomach. looking perfect isn't necessarily a good thing. what are some of your flaws? she doesn't have any, which is why she has to think. - let's wait for her though. / - sure.
- why don't we give her time to think? / - okay. i have a lot, but none really comes to mind. there's a lot, but she can't think of them right now. does dongwoo have a flaw that you've noticed? it doesn't matter if it's something small. i don't like how he talks. why? she didn't even hesitate. he has a philosophical view of life,
and listening to him makes me solemn. you have to reflect on yourself, too. that's why i drink. that leads to two bottles in total! (their friendship was built on alcohol) seo leesook and dk are back! you guys easily won two rounds. leesook, you look brighter than before. do you know how much we tried to comfort them?
look at them! look at hyeongyeong's expression! darling, you've still got your face. i'm not even satisfied by that! seunghwan just drank his water as if it were alcohol! you won twice in a row thanks to us. (we won't forget your kindness) (their song "cool night" is at the top of the charts!) (the amazing collaboration of a sweet couple) (be cool with us tonight)
(sleepy & song jieun) the last time i was here, i was just so nervous, and i was always upset about that. i still think about it to this day. but today i'm with a senior colleague of mine, so i don't think i'll be that nervous. i've never been among the top search of websites, but now i am and i couldn't be happier. i saw that you chose a song perfect for summer.
yes, today we're singing, "let's go to the beach." jieun came in last the last time she was here, and i'm here to avenge her. let's show our spirit. - for a win? / - a win! - it's not a debate. / - no, it's not. - what if we lose? / - if we lose? soju? ("let's go to the beach")
(a song by key boys from their second album) (released to celebrate winning the fan favorite award) (of the national vocalist group competition) (it has comfortable and addictive melody) (also the gentle lyrics are especially memorable) (it's known as the best summer song) (brings out the emotions from when we were young) next up is sleepy and song jieun! hello.
i'm sleepy of untouchable. hi, i'm song jieun. it's great to be here. hello! today we're singing... "let's go to the beach" by key boys. you all know it, right? - yes. / - yes! sing along if you know it and have fun with us. (are you ready to go to the cool summer beach?)
("let's go to the beach" by sleepy & song jieun) let's go to the beach where stars fall. let's go to the beach where it's full of youth. whisper to me about sweet love. the waves keep crashing over the bright sunlight. i don't like the hot summer, but with those blue waves i don't mind. sexy girls are wearing bikinis. are you ready? let's go. action!
run across the searing sand. soak your heavy body in the cool sea. colorful beach umbrellas, talking in the crowd. close your eyes from the exhausting world. forget for a moment the sound of cars. now! let's go! we get to go the beach once a year. let's go to the beach where there's youth, love and happiness!
go to the beach where couples are. even though you don't say you love me, i'll be buried in happiness. for the first time, i tasted those lips on fire. leaving behind endless footprints of love. let's go! let's go to the beach! your lips on fire showing me your deep love. leaving behind endless, i hope this night is forever.
in hopes of this happy moment pausing you say to me, i wish this isn't a dream. go to the beach! even though! everybody say, "hey! hey!" let's go to the beach. hey! hey! everybody say, "let's go to the beach." (let's go on vacation!)
(a refreshing performance!) weren't jieun and sleepy's performance so fresh? hyeongyeong, what did you think? i think i saw you sing along. i should have gone up there. what did you think of their performance? being so young, it was full of energy. it was lovely and pretty. also, jieun looks very fragile.
so how can her voice sound very mature like that? - it was really charming. / - wasn't it? sleepy is a guy that has flabby arms. flabby? but he looked so cool out there. he's not a zombie on stage. - i know! / - he's a rapper. he looked cool. leesook, what did you think?
it was just entertaining to watch. it was very fresh and amazing. i'm so jealous of them. there were lyrics like "your lips for the first time." now i know who leesook is! - now? / - yes. before... you're much younger than the characters you play. we're nearly at the end of the show!
the show is nearly over! i was really surprised! when seunghwan gets excited, he sounds like youngkyu. - "i was really surprised!" / - i was really surprised! "i didn't realize it earlier!" doesn't he sound like you? the man just wants to laugh out loud! i'm going crazy. he desperately wants to talk.
(sleepy & song jieun versus ydg & jung jun) aren't you guys signed on... - with the same agency? / - yes, we are. it's why you released a song together, and people have been responding well. i heard that you got much closer while putting this cover together. i was a little bit afraid of him at first. he does hip hop so i was slightly scared,
but he's actually a nice guy with good manners. i learned that during our recent time together. you're doing great. he's not scary at all? he takes care of me like a brother. he does tend to spit out words, but they're nothing but nice. you guys entertained us with your song too, but the song performed before yours was really strong.
i'm sure that those left to take the stage were feeling defeated. how were things in there? they had like a hundred people on stage. we had about a dozen too but... we didn't even have a chance. (the result) ydg and jun came out with many friends. will they win another round with 429 points?
or will the fresh and vibrant summer song by sleepy and song jieun take the lead? (which duo will win?) please give them a big round of applause! youngkyu and yungyeong are now off to take out ydg and close the show. can you say a few words? he looks depressed. youngkyu can get 300 points
- just by walking onto the stage. / - yes, 400... i hope that a lot of those in their 50s and 60s are in the audience today. 50s and 60s? i think he just glared at you. - i think he just glared at you! / - sir, i'm sorry. they're here. i asked my mom and aunt to come. can you do your line "my stomach" for us? - just this once! / - because of your throat?
i'll do your voice so just lip-sync. that's a good idea. that way he gets to save his voice. one, two, three! my stomach! park youngkyu and lee yungyeong, - good luck! / - thank you. i so want to talk, but i can't just in case i wear my voice out. i'm the one who asked yungyeong to be here and...
no, i know how hard the wait was for you. (the charismatic actor, park youngkyu) rectify injustice at this instant! (his dream of becoming a classical singer) (came true on this very stage) (won the 2002 national classical competition) (also won the 2008 japan-italy classical competition) (soprano lee yungyeong is acknowledged by the world) (get ready for a beautiful classical performance)
since i'm learning classical music, i go to shows and concerts when i can. when i saw yungyeong sing, i couldn't believe that there was a soprano like her in korea. once we got talking, i found out that she had watched me perform on immortal songs. i couldn't believe that he even thought of that. it was classical music that could appeal to the public.
we would also love to do things like that, but it's not easy to do - just as a classical singer. / - right. but a well-known actor like him sings a classical piece on a show like this, and even those who were clueless about the genre was able to enjoy it much more easily. the song you chose is... it's "granada."
granada is a beautiful seaside city in spain, and it's a song about how touched you are of the beautiful scenery of the city. ("granada") (a spanish song written by) (a mexican composer, agustin lara) (it's loved by people all around the world) (there are versions in english, italian, german, etc.) last but not least,
it's park youngkyu and soprano lee yungyeong! ("granada" by park youngkyu & lee yungyeong) granada, the land of my dreams. my song for you became one for a gypsy. the song i sang for you in fantasy, the song of the flower of sorrow, i come to give it to you. granada, blood-stained from bull fights. a mysterious woman with the eyes like wilderness.
i dream of you, rebellious and covered with flowers. the kiss sweet like an apple on your scarlet mouth i call love. granada, the noble songs sung by a granada manola. i can't no longer give you roses or anything else. like a rose with a sweet scent. like the sand or mountain now red. granada is full of passionate and fiery women. on your scarlet red lips i call love.
i can no more give you roses or anything else. (a friendship built on their passion for music) adios! adios! what did you think of that? i was moved deeply. what more can i say? it was beautiful how he was so warm and nice. those are the things that we really focus on. who do you think will win? this summer special episode.
mr. park youngkyu. you could tell in his voice that's he's in love with classical music. i now understand why he was sitting like this. that's probably the right way to sing. the lyrics alone tell you how much he has practiced. i don't think he's particularly gifted with languages. i'm sure he memorized it all though. it must have been so hard.
(park youngkyu & lee yungyeong versus ydg & jung jun) you sang a classical song last year, which surprised me, and i'm not familiar with today's song "granada." i heard that it was a tough one though. - how is it? / - the song is hard to sing. it's difficult because many high notes need to be long. many people find this song difficult, and i've never sung it before either.
it's mostly sung by tenors... - with great stamina. / - then how come... he told me that he wanted to try the song. it was more than i could chew, but i made it through thanks to yungyeong. since you're here today, can you sing us some other songs? even though you don't know classical music, you can still enjoy the beauty of it.
can yungyeong sing something else for us? (the beautiful voice that's known worldwide) ("les filles de cadix" by lee yungyeong) we saw a bull, three pairs of boys and girls. to the sound of our castanets, they danced the bolero. can you tell me how pretty i am? tell me if my skirt looks good with this morning?
do i look slender to you? (a clear but alluring tone) (her voice draws us in) (the fresh sound of a soprano) (like the rain we've been waiting for) there's no way we're going to give up this opportunity. - sounds good. / - we'll invite our team - okay. / - and listen to them sing too. one, two, one, two.
lean on me when things get rough. i'll always be by your side. so that you don't feel alone, i'll hold your hand. thank you. let's give them a big round of applause! immortal songs, 2015 summer special. "sing happiness with a loving friend." let's see who the audience has chosen! (a beautiful duet, park youngkyu & lee yungyeong)
(a grand choir, ydg & jung jun) the two best friends of the same age! will ydg and jung jun win the trophy with 429 points? or will the duo, park youngkyu and lee yungyeong, who were brought together by classical music, win? (bromance that brewed since their time in the military) (they invited all their friends) (fun and upbeat, "oh, happy day") (wishing for three consecutive wins to the trophy)
(more passionate than anyone about classical music) (mentor and best friend, top soprano lee yungyeong) (the alluring performance of "granada") (only one win will get them the trophy) (who is today's winner?) (friendship of classic versus friendship of men) (a beautiful duet versus a fun show with a choir) incredible! they're friends who are of the same age.
ydg and jung jun are the final winners! congratulations! please give it up for them once more. yes! we chose the right friends. (friends are the best) (because they're with us whether we're happy or sad) i'm one lucky guy to have such a bright and beautiful friend by my side.
it was like a dream to be on the show i enjoy the most. it's a show where we can share our hearts. it's been a while since i've been this nervous, and i really enjoyed it. it was a joyful day and moment. i'm blessed with memories that will last forever, and i'm happy right now even saying these words. (without friends no one would choose to live,) (though he had all other goods, aristotle)
