The first Korean-Japanese joint band Y2K will present a 'complete stage' through 'Hanil Top Ten Show' after 23 years.
On the upcoming broadcast of MBN's competition program 'Hanil Top Ten Show' at 9:50 PM on the 13th, a special feature titled 'Reply 1999' will revive the emotions of the millennium era from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. Through a competition featuring hit songs from that golden age of the Korean music industry, it will evoke memories and stimulate nostalgia among viewers.
In this context, the first Korean-Japanese joint band Y2K is making a comeback as a complete group through the 'Reply 1999' special, a full-fledged nostalgia project of 'Hanil Top Ten Show' after 23 years, offering a unique emotional experience. Composed of leader Ko Jae-geun, guitarist Yuichi, and bassist Koji, Y2K swept through Korea as a millennium TOP star band, creating a sensation with their long-haired flower boy image right after their debut.
Y2K, now appearing with even more mature flower boy visuals, will perform their hit song 'After We Broke Up,' which gained explosive popularity in 1999, live to cheers from the audience. As the atmosphere at the venue rises with the revival of the Korean-Japanese joint band Sugar Man, anticipation builds for Y2K's 'first complete stage' after 23 years.
Meanwhile, the second reigning king of 'Current King of Singers 2,' Park Seo-jin, expresses tension in his face-off against 'Emotional Ballad Queen' Lyn. In line with the 'Reply 1999' special, Park Seo-jin has chosen the band izi's (Easy) 'Emergency Room,' a song that has consistently been loved as a karaoke favorite among men. Before taking the stage, Park Seo-jin, with his eyes tightly closed, reveals his nervousness, saying, "I feel like I need to go to the emergency room." Curiosity grows about what results Park Seo-jin will bring in his bold transformation with the rock ballad 'Emergency Room' in his duel with Lyn.
Additionally, Kim Da-hyun will evoke cheers with a perfectly reinterpreted performance of songs from that era in the 'Reply 1999' special. Born in 2009, Kim Da-hyun transforms into the doll from Lee Jung-hyun's 'Will You' released in 2000, before she was even born, showcasing a 200% synchronization rate that impresses everyone. Kim Da-hyun's 'Will You' stage, which pays homage to Lee Jung-hyun with expressions, choreography, and a bubbly singing style that makes the doll seem alive, draws attention.
The production team stated, "The fact that the first Korean-Japanese joint band Y2K is showing a stage together after 23 years on 'Hanil Top Ten Show' holds special significance," adding, "The performances of millennium era hit songs by the members of 'Hanil Top Ten Show' will be a time to reminisce."
Meanwhile, MBN's 'Hanil Top Ten Show' will air on the 13th at 9:50 PM.
