The special episode of "Immortal Songs - Lim Young-woong and Friends," which recorded an unprecedented level of competition with approximately 9,000 applications for audience viewing from the recruitment of the Masterpiece Judging Panel, has been raising expectations with enthusiastic reviews from the audience after the public recording on Monday the 18th, such as "an unforgettable stage," "he is a hero as expected," and "overwhelming live performance."

Among these, the 'Immortal' production team is raising interest by revealing behind-the-scenes stories from this special episode before the broadcast. The production team said, "As the title of this special episode is 'Im Young-woong and Friends,' Im Young-woong personally participated in everything from casting to song selection," raising expectations for an unprecedented special stage filled with Im Young-woong's extraordinary passion.

The production team also drew attention by hinting at the guest stage that had previously garnered attention for its solid lineup. The production team added, “Lim Young-woong was especially considerate of the guests he personally invited,” and “He wanted to express his gratitude to Lee Juck, who gave him the title song ‘Can We Meet Again’ from his first full-length album, and he didn’t forget Lyn’s mention on the show that she wanted to do a duet with him, so he prepared an actual duet stage, showing his meticulousness.” In fact, Lim Young-woong chose Pateco’s ‘Samseongdong’ for the duet stage with Lyn, and it is said that he put his desire to introduce his favorite music into the stage.
