‘♥Yang Jae Woong’ Hani‘s shocking transformation, EXID full group appearance after 6 years... Lee Chan Won “The most adored” (Immortal)

The group EXID will be reuniting as a full group after a long time. In particular, Hani, who suspended her activities and postponed her wedding after a fatal accident occurred at a hospital run by her fiancé Yang Jae Woong last year, will appear, drawing attention.

The 697th episode of KBS2’s ‘Immortal Songs’ (directed by Park Hyung Geun, Kim Hyung Suk, Choi Seung Beom), which will air on the 15th, will feature artist Baby V.O.X.X. Among them, EXID is receiving a rousing welcome as they reunite as a full group for the first time in about 6 years since the KBS ‘Open Concert’ in June 2019 for their appearance on ‘Immortal Songs’. The members, including Hani who transformed into a short-haired girl, immediately show off bold and unconventional styling and make a strong impression.

When asked how it was like to work together again after a long time, EXID revealed a sad behind-the-scenes story, saying, “It wasn‘t smooth. My memory was declining and I was constantly in pain. We had to practice once and rest for 5 minutes.”

MC Lee Chan-won confesses his huge fandom for the “military presidents” EXID. When MC Kim Jun-hyun says, “I liked Baby V.O.X. when I was serving in the military,” Lee Chan-won starts off by saying, “It was EXID back then.” He then shyly confesses, “The two teams I admire and love the most in my heart are EXID and Kim Yeon-ja.”

Kim Jun-hyun couldn’t hide his surprise at Lee Chan-won‘s changed appearance throughout the recording. Finally, when Kim Jun-hyun was surprised and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen you host a show with such personal feelings,” Lee Chan-won said, “Actually, I found out that EXID was going to appear 3-4 days ago, and I‘ve been eating only one meal a day since then,” and explained that he even managed his diet in preparation for welcoming EXID.

When asked, “Which EXID member are you a fan of?”, Lee Chan-won seemed at a loss, then said, “I’m going crazy today,” expressing his nervousness, raising viewers‘ curiosity even more. It is said that Lee Chan-won actually showed his love for EXID with his whole body, sweating and turning red all the way to his ears.

Lee Chan-won wishes for EXID to win, saying, “Win today and come out for the first half of the King of Kings again,” and making a selfish broadcast, drawing jeers from the other guests. Another point of interest is whether Solji, a regular on Immortal Songs, can take home her first trophy with EXID.

Meanwhile, Baby V.O.X., the artist featured on this special, is a first-generation girl group that debuted in 1997 and received much love for producing many hit songs until the mid-2000s. Baby V.O.X., who performed on the ‘KBS Song Festival Global Festival’ stage as a full group for the first time in 14 years last December, has confirmed their appearance as ‘Immortal Songs’ artists. Stephanie, Yook Joong Wan Band, EXID, ONEWE, and Jung Seung Won will recreate Baby V.O.X.’s hit songs in their own unique ways. In particular, EXID is raising expectations by resuming group activities for the first time in 6 years on ‘Immortal Songs’.

‘Artist Baby Vox Edition’, where the group appeared on ‘Immortal Songs’ for the first time in 14 years, will air today (15th). It airs every week at 6:05 PM on KBS 2TV.
