The Park Keun Tae special of KBS 2TV’s “Immortal Songs” brought generations of hit songs to one stage, with Park Hye Won opening the show with a commanding performance of “Evening Sky.”
According to a KBS Entertainment report published on October 10, the special episode celebrates composer Park Keun Tae, described as the father of countless hits spanning generations. Park Hye Won’s explosive vocals and delicate emotional delivery gave the song’s farewell its tender weight, and the climax soared with powerful high notes and raw emotion.
Park Hye Won went on to record two consecutive wins, fending off challenges from KCM X DK and Daybreak.
Bora and Woori took the stage next with “Friend” (친구여), a song Park Keun Tae released in 2004, promising viewers a “secret weapon” before performing. “I want to hold the trophy in my hands,” Woori said confidently, as fellow cast members wondered about the identity of their special guest.
No official winner of the episode was announced in the report. “Immortal Songs” airs every Saturday at 6:05 p.m., with top singers reinterpreting legendary hits in a music competition format.
The report’s headline also teases a stage by Ok Joo Hyun as an all-time-class highlight of the episode.
