Broadcaster Lee Hwi-jae is set to return to broadcasting after four years. He will be on the stage of "Immortal Songs" and will be in front of viewers for the first time in a long time.

Lee Hwi-jae will participate in the recording of the KBS 2TV entertainment program "Immortal Songs" at KBS New Hall in Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the 16th. It has been about four years since he left the KBS 2TV entertainment information program 'Yeonjung Live' in April 2022.

Lee Hwi-jae once served as a top MC. Starting with the one-act drama "TV Life Theater" of MBC's "Sunday Sunday Night" in 1993, he enjoyed great popularity by leading big entertainment programs such as SBS's "Nam Hee-seok Lee Hwi-jae's Great Meeting," KBS 2TV's "Sangsang Plus," "Sponge" and MBC's "Three Wheels." In particular, he received a lot of love through KBS 2TV's "Superman Is Back" starring with his twin sons Seo-eon and Seo-joon, and was honored with the 2015 KBS Entertainment Awards.

However, since then, the image has been hit by allegations of noise conflicts between neighbors and "eat and run" over his wife Moon Jung-won. The method of progress shown at past entertainment shows and award ceremonies was also on the cutting board. Afterwards, he stopped his activities after "Live during the Year" and broke up with his former agency Cube Entertainment after it was revealed that he left for Canada with his family. In the process, rumors of retirement were raised.

Lee Hwi-jae hasn't been updated for a while since he went to Canada, but Moon Jung-won recently resumed his SNS activities after about four years, drawing attention again. He is said to have been living in and out of Korea and Canada.

Lee Hwi-jae's appearance is expected to be an opportunity to gauge his chances of returning. The recording of "Immortal Songs" is expected to be decorated as a special feature of the "2026 Entertainment World King's Fair." The producer in charge of "Immortal Songs" explained to Star News, "The concept is to set up a stage for entertainers who released an album but were not full-time singers."

In fact, Lee Hwi-jae was a singer in 1995 with his first album "Say Good Bye" and his second album "Blessing You" in 1997. Attention is focusing on what kind of story Lee Hwi-jae will bring up and what kind of stage he will perform on the broadcast stage in about four years. Attention is focusing on whether he will express his position on the controversy that has been raised so far.

Meanwhile, various stars, including Lee Hwi-jae, Cho Hye-ryeon, Hong Seok-cheon, Park Joon-hyung, Song Il-guk, Oh Man-seok, Moon Se-yoon, and Lalal's "Gag Concert" team (Park Sung-kwang, Jung Beom-gyun, Sanghoon Lee Seo Sung-kyung), will join the recording.
