Shin Dong-yup, made a big decision, but... First broadcast accident in 14 years, ‘Extreme tension’ (Immortal Song)

Shin Dong-yup, Kim Jun-hyun, and Lee Chan-won, the three MCs of KBS2‘s ‘Immortal Songs’, will appear on stage as a trio.

Shin Dong-yup, Kim Jun-hyun, and Lee Chan-won will form a special trio as the MCs of ‘Immortal Songs’, which is celebrating its 700th episode. As the veteran of ‘Immortal Songs’, Shin Dong-yup will overcome the burden and extreme tension and go on stage to work with Kim Jun-hyun and Lee Chan-won. The three of them open the show with Lee Moon-sae’s ‘Old Love’, pouring out their combined skills of ‘60 years since their debut’.

In the middle of this, Shin Dong-yup arouses curiosity by confessing a behind-the-scenes story during the opening stage of the ‘3MC Trio’. After the duet stage of Choi Baek-ho and Roy Kim, Shin Dong-yup said, “Seeing the two of you on stage reminds me of the stage from earlier”, and “While the three of us were singing, Lee Chan-won looked at me. The whole time I was thinking, ‘Why does he keep staring at me?’. Since I‘m not a singer, it was hard to empathize with the emotions”.

Lee Chan-won seemed upset and said, “I kept looking at Shin Dong-yup, but he only looked at Kim Jun-hyun. So I thought, ‘Oh, what do comedians have going on?’ and he stuck his mouth out, making Shin Dong-yup sweat. To Lee Chan-won’s confession of feeling left out, Kim Jun-hyun said, “He didn‘t even look at me properly” and “Because comedians act cool and sing, and when our eyes meet, we burst into laughter”,“ adding to the warm chemistry as he tried to appease the youngest. Also, although their opening stage was full of eye contact and pupils dilating, it was said that it was a richer and more enjoyable opening stage than ever before.

The three are said to be leading the talk show scene with their fantastic teamwork that they have built up over the years. Finally, Son Ji-chang of The Blue applauded Shin Dong-yup’s overwhelming talk build-up, saying, ”He‘s really smart,“ raising curiosity about the 700th episode of ‘Immortal Songs’.

Meanwhile, in this ‘700th episode special - 7 Legends: The Next Wave’, the 7 teams of artists who are the main characters of the 14-year history and 7 teams of super luxurious guests will appear, raising expectations.
