"The 754th episode of KBS 2TV's variety program 'Immortal Songs' (directed by Kim Hyung-seok and Choi Seung-beom, hereinafter 'Immortal'), airing on the 2nd, will feature Part 1 dedicated to lyricist and composer Joo Young-hoon.

"However, Choi Jin-hyeok revealed with a laugh, 'Actually, I came to Seoul because I wanted to do music. I wanted to join the band club because I loved rock, but my mother threatened to 'kill me' if I did, so I gave up.'

"Choi Jin-hyeok chose the late Choi Jin-young (SKY)'s 'Eternal' for his performance. At the beginning of the show, he stated, 'This year marks the third anniversary of the passing of my closest friend who sang this song with me. I will show you my sincere singing.' He then delivered an emotional performance.

"It is also reported that Choi Jin-hyeok reddened his eyes backstage after finishing his performance. Attention is focused on his 'Immortal Songs' stage, which was filled with sincerity.

"Meanwhile, Joo Young-hoon revealed the background behind the creation of the late Choi Jin-young's 'Eternal.' As the lyricist for 'Eternal,' Joo Young-hoon disclosed, 'At the time, it was actress Ko So-young who recommended me as a lyricist to Choi Jin-young's agency,' sparking curiosity. He also promised to share behind-the-scenes stories of the creation of masterpieces such as 'Lovely,' 'Somnolence,' and 'Don't Give Up,' raising expectations for the broadcast. The episode airs at 6:05 p.m. on the 2nd."
