‘Gomak Namchin’ Sung Si Kyung and a lineup of talented junior musicians filled Friday night with pure emotion, delivering high-quality performances that transcended generations.
The latest episode of KBS2’s ‘The Seasons – Sung Si Kyung’s Gomak Namchin’, aired on the 1st, featured Lee Mu Jin, Kim Kwang Jin, project group moyo, and the band Dragon Pony for a truly sophisticated musical feast.
Kicking things off as the first guest, Lee Mu Jin performed ‘Youth Comic’, a beloved track that has remained a chart favorite for nearly 600 days.
Lee Mu Jin also caught everyone’s attention by revealing that he uses the pseudonym ‘Green Bottle HQ’ when working as a producer, explaining that he wanted to avoid any prejudices associated with his own name. He then teamed up with Sung Si Kyung for a stunning duet of ‘To a Lady’ by Sung Si Kyung and Byun Jin Sub, giving fans a total treat for their ears.
The highlight of the episode was the appearance of Kim Kwang Jin, the original singer of ‘Magic Castle’. He shared a surprising behind-the-scenes story from his time with The Classic, revealing that he balanced his music career with a job as a stockbroker. He recalled a time in 1994 when he headed straight from the airport to the stage immediately after an overseas business trip, hinting at the massive popularity he enjoyed back then.
Kim Kwang Jin’s humility was a standout moment, as he credited junior singers for the continued love that younger generations show for his classics like ‘Letter’ and ‘Fox’. His impromptu live performance of ‘Magic Castle’ brought the audience to tears, proving the timeless class that only the original artist can deliver.
Next up, project group ‘moyo’, consisting of George, Sol, and Tama, made their official debut by unveiling their new song ‘Who Is It’ for the first time. Sol teased Sung Si Kyung by recalling his first impression of him, saying, “I just remember looking up at him because he was so tall and huge,” leaving Sung Si Kyung momentarily flustered.
Closing the show was the band Dragon Pony, who come highly recommended as ‘Yoo Jae Suk’s pick’. Bassist Pyeon Seong Hyeon surprised everyone by revealing that Sung Si Kyung had actually eliminated him during his time as a judge on ‘Superstar K’. However, he shared a heartfelt message, saying, “Thanks to your great advice, I’m still enjoying music today.” Dragon Pony then unleashed explosive rock energy with powerful performances of YB’s ‘I’ll Forget’ and ‘Everything Goes My Way!’.
