Musical actor Hong Jimin turns out to be from a family of independence activists.

The upcoming the 15th broadcast of KBS 2TV's variety program "Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend" episode 769 will feature a special titled "81st Anniversary of Liberation: The Unnamed Devotion, Immortal Songs."

This special marks the 81st anniversary of liberation by shedding light on the lives of six independence activists who are not well known to the public. To this end, a total of six Jang Reu-byeol (CEO) musical teams will perform: Hong Jimin and Yang Jun-mo, Seo Moon-tak, Ji Sun (loveholic), Hanhae and Rapemon, Kim Jun-soo and Ahn Ye-eun, and Im Gyu-hyeong. Additionally, 52 descendants of meritorious independence activists are specially invited as song judges to add significance to the event.

Notably, it was revealed that Hong Jimin is actually a descendant of an independence activist, drawing attention. Hong Jimin stated, "My father is Mr. Hong Chang-sik, who began his independence activities at age 16." To honor her father's noble sacrifice, she has selected Insooni's song "Father," promising a deeply moving performance. Furthermore, Hong Jimin's partner Yang Jun-mo previously portrayed the life of martyr Ahn Jung-geun in the musical "Hero." It is reported that Ahn Ye-eun, before even stepping on stage, surrendered by saying, "There's no competition."

At the same time, the six independence activists to be highlighted in "Immortal Songs" and their selected song lineup were revealed, raising expectations. Hong Jimin and Yang Jun-mo will honor Mr. Hong Chang-sik with Insooni's "Father"; Seo Moon-tak will pay tribute to Mr. Dongpungsin with Kim Soo-cheol's "A Single Flower That Never Bloomed"; Ji Sun (loveholic) will spotlight Mr. An Gyeong-shin with Park Chae-seon and Lee Ryu-saek's "This Turbulent Era"; Hanhae and Rapemon will honor Mr. Kim Yong-hwan with The Poet and Villager's "Thorn Bush"; Kim Jun-soo and Ahn Ye-eun will shine a light on Ms. Kim Hyang-hwa with Kim Kwang-seok's "Get Up"; and Im Gyu-hyeong will bring to life Mr. Yu Dong-ha through Maya's "Shout My Name." They will sing the names that burned quietly yet fiercely even in places untouched by light.
