Broadcaster Lee Hwi-jae breaks his long silence of 4 years and grabs the microphone again. The stage is KBS 2TV's flagship entertainment show 'Immortal Songs'.
On the 5th, the production team of 'Immortal Songs' officially announced that Lee Hwi-jae will participate in the recording taking place on the 16th. This recording will be themed '2026 Celebrity King of Kings Special', and Lee Hwi-jae is expected to showcase his hidden singing talent after a long hiatus.
The special will feature a lineup of stars including Lee Hwi-jae, Jo Hye-ryun, Hong Seok-cheon, Park Jun-hyung, Song Il-gook, Oh Man-seok, and Moon Se-yoon, who will all engage in fierce competition. Among the glamorous lineup, Lee Hwi-jae stands out, drawing attention both inside and outside the broadcasting industry due to his return to terrestrial television after about 4 years.
In the past, Lee Hwi-jae gained national love by appearing on 'The Return of Superman' with his twin sons Seo-eon and Seo-jun. However, he faced trials due to various controversies, including his wife Moon Jeong-won's advertising label controversy and noise complaints. Ultimately, he stepped down from all broadcasts in 2022 and left for Vancouver, Canada, entering a long break with his family.
Recently, as his wife Moon Jeong-won resumed her social media activities, rumors of his return began to surface, and Lee Hwi-jae chose 'Immortal Songs' as his comeback project, signaling the official start of his return to the entertainment industry. Now that he has wrapped up his life in Canada and returned, it will be interesting to see what stage and stories he will use to once again touch the hearts of the public.
