‘20th Century Hit Song’ introduces songs that decorate the last minute of karaoke.

On the 258th episode of KBS Joy‘s ‘20th Century Hit Song’ today (28th), ‘April Fool’s Day Special! 21st Century Hit Song’ will be broadcast. This broadcast will introduce hit songs of singers who were active from 2001 to 2010.

Starting the broadcast, Kim Heechul said, “I think I should give a serious greeting today. He made a surprise announcement of his marriage, saying, “I, Kim Heechul, am finally getting married,” but he followed up by saying, “You guys, I‘m lying,” revealing that it was a joke, causing laughter in the audience.

On that day’s broadcast, TVXQ‘s ‘Spell-MIROTIC (2008)’ will be revealed. The song is famous for TVXQ’s sophisticated melody and addictive chorus, known as ‘the beginning of the 2nd generation idols.’ As soon as the song started, Im Joo shouted, “I really liked this song,” and both of them watched the stage with bewitched expressions.

When Kim Hee Chul introduced the song, saying, “It‘s about wanting to dominate everything about a woman you fell in love with at first sight,” Im Joo responded cheerfully, saying, “It was so successful. It’s like I‘m under a spell.” She then confessed her affection, saying, “I loved you back then.”

When Kim Hee Chul explained, “The lyrics of this song were changed from ‘Under My Skin’ to ‘Under My Sky’ and ‘I Got You’ to ‘I Chose You’ because it was rated as ‘harmful media for youth’,” Im Joo responded, “‘I Got You’ is more touching. Don’t choose me. Take me,” making everyone laugh. For that reason, it is also reported that the original lyrics were only broadcast on late night broadcasts at the time.

Also, a song that was greatly loved overseas for its dreamy electro pop will be released. The song is introduced with phrases like, “Lyricist Kim Eana wrote the lyrics in 20~30 minutes”, “This one song made about 10 billion won in music revenue”, “It‘s choreographer Bae Yoon-jung’s dance”, and “Everything is unconventional”.

Lee Mi-joo said, “She‘s so sexy” after seeing the performance, and Kim Hee-chul also made everyone laugh by drooling and saying, “My mouth keeps watering” after the video ended.

In addition, you can check out the singer who topped various charts within two days of releasing the song with the support of G-Dragon, the only girl group to have ranked first in every era from 2000 to 2020, and the song that created a wave and trend that is unparalleled in the history of popular music, on the 5th anniversary special broadcast of ‘20th Century Hit Song’ that airs today (the 28th) at 8:30 PM.
