Music, who does not like music? Regardless of what the preferred genre of music, everyone would like a music. Whether it's pop, rock, jazz, blues, or traditional genre typical of the region or state respectively, as dangdut, campursari, gugak, pansori, etc. Music is able to give you peace, joy or even compassion for those who listen.

On this blog, I will discuss the tv show of South Korea concerned with music, called Immortal Songs 2. This program is a music competition, where participants who were guests are required to bring the legend's songs or songs from the past, by rearranging the song and later they will sing on stage and will be judged by the audience as jury. Participant or in this case called a guest singer, will compete with each other, and the guest singer who managed to survive until the end is the winner.

This show was broadcast on TV stations KBS2TV and can also be accessed via KBSWorld, or streaming live online at youtube channel KBSWorld. It is a revival of Immortal Songs first season which aired from 2007-2009, and second season began airing in 2011.This show has been going on for several years, so the fan remains possessed of all ages and is one of the famous events in Korea.

Host in waiting room:

  1. Moon Hae Joon: He is a former Idol. Previously he was a leader of the legendary boy band H.O.T which is very famous in the late 90s and early 2000. In the show, he was able to turn the atmosphere in the waiting room with fresh jokes and funny comments so the waiting room will not be boring.
  2. Jo Jae Hyun: He is a Korean pop singer-songwriter, pianist and a film music composer. His name is already known by the public and has a large knowledge of music, so he can give various comments about performance on the stage.
  3. Kim Gura (Former): He is a well-known host who hosted in various programs. He appear in early show and then replaced.
  4. Eun Ji Won (Former): He is a former Idol group named Sechs Kies which is a rival H.O.T at that time. He quit as a presenter in the early 2015's. I still do not know why, maybe because of busy or conflicting schedules.
  5. Yoo Min Soo: He is a member of VIBE and a singer who is respected and well-known with his song Although It is Hateful, Once Again, Liquor, etc. His name began to soar again after he attended a variety show Dad Where Are You Going? With his son. He replaces Eun Ji Won earlier this year. Although he is still new and still rigid in bringing the show, but he was able to give comments which weighs about the guest appearance on stage and can be funny sometimes.

Shin Dong Yup: He is a senior presenter and also a senior comedian. His name is very well known in the entertainment world Korea. He served to introduce the guest to the audience and as a mediator between the guest with the legend guest. The ability to bring the show no doubt punctuated joke entertaining. He also serves as a determinant of the guest singer performing the turn, by taking random balls in it contains the name of the guest singer.

My Favorite Immortal Songs 2 Performance

One of my favorite episode this year is The Late Lee Younghun Special that aired on 7 March 2015 in KBSWorld. In this episode guest singer sings a song written by Lee Young-hun who in his time is a songwriter who wrote songs sung by Lee Moon Sae. This episode is a favorite because of the many guest singer who is the favorite as well, such as the Moon Myung Jin, Yoo Min Soo, and Davichi. The songs are sung in this episode very familiar so sometimes I sing along.
