Comedian Cho Hye-ryeon welcomed the return of comedian Lee Hwi-jae, who resumed his broadcasting career after four years.

Cho Hye-ryeon said on her Instagram on the 30th, "KBS 'Immortal Songs' special part 2 of the entertainment industry's king of the world. Hwijae, I was so touched. All the members were so warm. Please look forward to next week," he said, revealing a photo.

The released photos show the performers gathered at the recording site of "Immortal Songs," including Cho Hye-ryeon, Lee Hwi-jae, Hong Seok-cheon, Park Sung-kwang, Park Joon-hyung, Kim Joon-hyun, Moon Se-yoon, Kim Shin-young, Lee Chan-won and Jung Beom-kyun. In particular, Lee Hwi-jae drew a finger V next to Kim Shin-young with a friendly face, giving an idea of the friendly atmosphere of the scene.

Lee Hwi-jae is known not to have attended the "Immortal Masterpiece" dinner, but he was more comfortable hanging out with his colleagues at the recording site. Cho Hye-ryeon supported Lee's comeback by adding the hashtag "Immortal Songs, Lee Hwi-jae's Comeback, Cheering."

Meanwhile, "Immortal Songs," which aired on the 28th, was decorated as a special feature of the 2026 entertainment industry's King of Music. This special was a stage for Lee Hwi-jae's return, drawing attention even before the broadcast. Lee Hwi-jae sang Choi Ho-seop's "The Mask of Time" on the show.

Lee Hwi-jae said, "I know well in what areas I was lacking, lacking, and making mistakes. I think it was a time to look back on my 30 years of broadcasting life one by one. I can't turn back time for the first time, so I thought I had no choice but to do my best what was given to me now," he confessed.

"Unfortunately, the day I was contacted for a job was the anniversary of my mother's death. I wondered if my mother helped me. I don't think I knew the importance when I worked a lot. "I love the way to Yeouido, and it's so nice to meet my colleagues and get energy," he said with tears in his eyes.
