"Instead of 'Spring Days Are Gone', 'Spring Days Are Coming'... Park Bo-gum Ultimately Cried."
Baek Ki-sung's explosive energy while singing 'My Life's Spring Days' filled the KBS 'Park Bo-gum's Cantabile' set with emotion.
In the broadcast on the 9th, singer Baek Ki-sung performed the classic song 'My Life's Spring Days', and his stage was a moment that proved the 'narrative of his career' beyond just a simple live performance.
On stage, Baek Ki-sung appeared wearing a black and red studded jacket. What captivated the audience was his expression. With emotions conveyed to the tips of his fingers gripping the microphone, he charged towards the camera, exuding a rockstar vibe.
The emotional explosion happening right before their eyes moved not only the audience but also Park Bo-gum, who was watching from backstage, to tears.
Park Bo-gum said, "The lyrics originally say 'Spring Days Are Gone', but the senior sang 'Spring Days Are Coming'. That was moving." To this, Baek Ki-sung honestly replied, "I was gone for 6 years. The next song was 'Go Away'. I was gone for 7 years, not lying," and added, "They say a singer follows the lyrics. So I changed it."
Baek Ki-sung's self-deprecating humor and heartfelt confession touched the audience's hearts, and Park Bo-gum ultimately shed tears, saying, "Why am I so moved?" Baek Ki-sung laughed, surprised, "Is this such a sad story?" but he too was amazed by Park Bo-gum's sincerity, saying, "What do I do with this sensitivity?"
Baek Ki-sung's unique deep voice, cheerful talk, and the weight he carried on stage made this performance a declaration of 'resurrection' beyond just an appearance. Park Bo-gum fully absorbed that emotion, once again imprinting the program's identity.
