'Immortal Songs' host Joo Young-hoon shared the behind-the-scenes story of Kim Jong-kook's 'Sarangseureowo'.

The the 2nd broadcast of KBS 2TV's 'Immortal Songs' episode 754, titled 'Songwriter and Composer Joo Young-hoon Part 1', spotlighted the musical world of Joo Young-hoon, known as a hit song manufacturer.

On this day, So Ran selected Kim Jong-kook's 'Sarangseureowo' among Joo Young-hoon's hit songs to create a stage. So Ran added to the charm with sweet vocals and a cute animal band.

After watching the performance, Joo Young-hoon surprised everyone by saying, "Actually, 'Sarangseureowo' was a song I created for a four-member Japanese girl group."

He continued, "It was a song composed with chord progressions tailored to Japanese tastes. Contrary to expectations, the agency rejected it. So, whenever I was asked to write a song, I tried to sell it as an add-on, but they kept rejecting it. I was about to throw it away, but I gave it to Kim Jong-kook along with another song I had written for him. However, he rejected the original song I intended to give him and chose to perform 'Sarangseureowo' instead."

Joo Young-hoon recalled with satisfaction, "I asked Kim Jong-kook, who is muscular, if he really matched the song, and he said yes. I recorded it with the mindset of just trying it out, and suddenly the song became a huge hit, winning the love of many people, and Kim Jong-kook was blessed with winning the Grand Prize at the Music Awards that year."
