[OSEN=Reporter Ha Su-jeong] The production team of KBS2's 'Immortal Songs' is drawing attention by revealing the behind-the-scenes story of the public recording ahead of the special broadcast of 'Immortal Songs - Lim Young-woong and Friends'.

KBS2's "Immortal Songs" (directed by Park Hyung-geun, Kim Hyung-seok, and Choi Seung-beom/hereafter "Immortal") is the undisputed best music variety show, holding the top spot in viewership ratings in its time slot for nearly 14 years. The special "Immortal Songs - Lim Young-woong and Friends" will premiere on Saturday, the 30th. It promises to be a special time, featuring Lim Young-woong's unwavering performances, as well as dream collaborations with Lee Juck, Lyn, Roy Kim, No Brain, Jeon Jong-hyuk, Choi Yu-ri, and Jo Jazz, who share a special bond with him.

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." Furthermore, as replays and VOD services are not provided, interest is focused on the one-time main broadcast.

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.

The production team said about Lim Young-woong, who poured his passion into this special to the point of not scheduling any other schedules, "It was as if Lim Young-woong was two people. Before he starts singing, he is playful and easygoing, but once he gets on stage, he is an artist in his own right, and you can see why everyone, regardless of generation, loves him." This raised interest in the main broadcast that will contain Lim Young-woong's colorful stories.

Meanwhile, this special will feature Lim Young-woong's new song performance revealed for the first time on TV. Audience members who witnessed the performance live through the public recording are sharing comments such as, "No matter what you expect, it exceeds it," "This song is a must-see on stage," and "It's thrilling. I want to hear it again soon." Anticipation is skyrocketing for Lim Young-woong's new song performance, which will premiere on the "Immortal Songs: Lim Young-woong and Friends" special.
