Through "Immortal Masterpiece," Yoo Yeol openly conveys his current health status along with the story of a 10-year illness.
KBS2's "Immortal Songs" (directed by Kim Hyung-seok and Choi Seung-beom/hereinafter referred to as "Immortal Songs"), which will be broadcast on the 24th, will be broadcast by a special episode of "Immortal Songs: Artist Yoo Yeol."
Yoo Yeol is a representative of Korean ballads in the '80s, which have produced numerous hits represented by 'flying emotions' such as 'I am as I am now', 'I said goodbye', and 'Gotta Go' since his debut in 1986. Yoo Yeol, who had been temporarily suspended from his activities in 2023 after being sentenced to death for "lung fibrosis," recently announced the resumption of his activities with a healthy appearance. As a result, expectations are soaring for the meeting with Legend Yoo Yeol, who returned from the threshold of death. On top of that, Noh Min-woo, Enoch, Woody, Rapoem, and Liberante (Kim Ji-hoon & Jin-won) are junior artists who will look back on Yoo Yeol's masterpieces, raising expectations further.
Yoo Yeol enters the scene of "Immortal" with a powerful step and draws applause from everyone. "I'm so grateful to meet the fans, and I'm so looking forward to seeing the viewers," he said, smiling, and the masterpiece judges who were watching this shed tears from the beginning.
Above all, Yoo-yeol tells of his life-threatening battle with "lung fibrosis," and frankly confesses his current health condition to draw attention. He said, "I had a lung transplant at the end of July last year, and thankfully, I'm very surprised at the hospital because I'm recovering well. I think I've experienced a miracle myself," he said, leading to a warm round of applause. "About two weeks after the surgery, I made a video call with my son. Until then, I was worried that my son would be shocked because I was doing various devices in the intensive care unit. However, the son said coolly, "I thought my dad would fix it well and use it," and made the scene emotional with his affection for his family, who supported the difficult moment.
Yoo Yeol also reveals memories of the so-called "Masam trio (Lee Moon-se + Lee Soo-man + Yoo Yeol)," which was greatly loved in the 1980s, stimulating deep nostalgia. "At that time, the reporter found what the three of us had in common and wrote an article under the name of 'Masam Trio,'" he said, drawing laughter. "The three of us also performed together, and Lee Soo-man came out of the number of fan bouquets and fell behind Lee Moon-se. If I tease him about this, he would add, "I get an envelope or something," and color the scene cheerfully.
Meanwhile, Yoo Yeol sings the 2026 version of "As It Is" with the same tone and emotion as before the battle against the disease for the fans who have supported him for a long time. In particular, composer Ji Sung-chul will be on stage together, adding meaning to Yoo Yeol's emotional return. MC Shin Dong-yup, who watched the stage, was unable to speak for a while due to emotional emotions, and said, "I listened to it several times with all my heart in fear that I might not be able to control my emotions from the beginning. I was so happy," he said, adding a deep aftertaste.
