During the show, MC Lee Chan Won pointed out, “SF9’s Inseong is in his seventh year since his debut and Boohwal is in their 37th year. There is exactly 30 years’ difference between them.” Boohwal’s Chae Je Min said, “We were able to meet because of music. If you think of soccer, it’s like if Cha Beom Geun and Son Heung Min were to play together. That can’t happen in sports. But you can do that in music.”

Inseong said, “The Boohwal seniors are really like dreams to me. We were rehearsing together, and I couldn’t believe that we were in the same space together.” He added, “My mom came to watch. She’s a Boohwal fan. She even asked if she could take a photo.”

Boohwal and Inseong performed Kim Hyun Sik’s “Making Memories.”

Hyolyn talked about her relationship with choreographer Lia Kim, saying, “I think that she’s leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else. She was my teacher for a long time. We’re meeting for the first time in 10 years thanks to ‘Immortal Songs.'” Jo Kwon added, “When Wonder Girls’ Sunye and I were in middle school, Lia Kim would come to JYP Entertainment and give dance lessons. She’s someone you couldn’t hope to match her talent in dancing. Nobody could come close to her.”

Hyolyn and Lia Kim performed Lee Hyori’s “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.”

About his own partner, Lim Jeong Hee, he said, “I first met her in 2001, so it’s been 21 years. She was my first vocal trainer. I’d been a trainee for a long time, but she also went through a long training period. It was thanks to her that I was able to hold on for so long. I learned patience from her. She’s the queen of queens in my heart, always.”

Jo Kwon and Lim Jeong Hee performed Park Jin Young’s “Farewell Under the Sun.”
