On 'Immortal Songs', Lee Seung-ki reveals his ambition to win as he awaits the birth of his second child.

The episode airing on the 30th on KBS 2TV's 'Immortal Songs' will feature 'Immortal Songs - Composer Kim Do-hoon Part 1', reinterpreting the legendary works of composer Kim Do-hoon. To this end, Bada, Gummy, Lee Seung-ki, Im Jin-gak (Im Han-byul X Monday Kids (Lee Jin-seong) X Heo Gak), SeeYa, K.Will, Lee Seok-hoon, Park Hyun-kyu, ONEWE (Wonwi), and xikers (Psy-cus) will take the stage.

Among them, Lee Seung-ki draws attention by highlighting his special relationship with competitor Lee Jin-seong. Lee Jin-seong has revealed that he is Lee Seung-ki's senior from high school. Most notably, Lee Seung-ki expressed gratitude, saying, "Senior Lee Jin-seong was the one who selected me as the vocalist for the band club." In response, Lee Jin-seong shared, "I was in my third year of high school, and Seung-ki was in his first year when he came to audition because he wanted to form a band. I was supposed to select based on his singing, but I had already passed him just by seeing his appearance. Even in his first year, he looked exactly as he does now," further piquing interest. At this point, Kim Jun-hyun reportedly made a perfect analogy, saying, "Isn't this the same situation as when singer Jeong Jong-cheol passed the KBS public casting comedy actor exam the moment the door opened?" This comment reportedly left the audience in laughter.

Meanwhile, Lee Seung-ki's ambition for the championship trophy elicits laughter. As he prepares for the birth of his second child, he expresses his desire to win the 'Immortal' trophy as a memento, even jokingly requesting, "I need your pitch to be off." He reportedly went so far as to say, "I hope your pitch drops by about three semitones, to the point where you wouldn't even qualify as a candidate," causing others to laugh uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, on this day, Lee Seung-ki performs "We Should Have Been Friends" in front of the original artist, Gummy. Impressed by Lee Seung-ki's sincere and passionate performance, Gummy reportedly praised him, saying, "I've heard many male singers cover this song, but your version, Seung-ki, was the best." With Lee Seung-ki having moved the original artist, attention now turns to whether he can achieve his long-awaited victory.

Lee Seung-ki and Lee Da-in ended their two-year public relationship with marriage in April 2023 and welcomed their first daughter in February 2024. Later, Lee Da-in announced in February that she was expecting her second child. A representative of Lee Seung-ki's agency stated, "Lee Da-in is in her fifth month of pregnancy. The couple, Lee Seung-ki and Lee Da-in, are prioritizing the mother's health and stability while focusing on prenatal care."
