KBS2 "Immortal Songs" representative rivals Kim Gi-tae and La Poem join forces to form the so-called "Gipoem."
KBS2 "Immortal Songs" (directed by Park Hyung-geun, Kim Hyung-seok, and Choi Seung-beom) has been the undisputed best music entertainment program for nearly 14 years, holding the number one ratings in its time slot. The 707th episode, airing today (24th), will be presented as a two-part special titled "2025 Oh My Star."
In this special, keen attention is drawn as Kim Gi-tae and La Poem, who have been engaged in fierce competition, unite as one team. MC Shin Dong-yeob noted their meeting as "sleeping with the enemy," introducing how those who had met as rivals declared a truce and came together as one team.
Both Kim Gi-tae and La Poem, strong candidates for victory, form a team named "Gipoem," shocking everyone. Despite sharing the same goal and cheerfully shouting their team name, Gipoem soon elicits laughter by bickering. At this moment, La Poem's Yoo Chae-hoon instantly calls for Ha Do-kwon, saying, "If we collaborate once, I think our vocal tones will match well, creating synergy," which visibly upset Kim Gi-tae sitting next to him. Kim Gi-tae humorously pushed his chair aside, playfully pouting, asking, "Can I cancel this?" leading to a burst of laughter at the scene.
Meanwhile, Gipoem, the official nemesis of "Immortal Songs," expresses their determination to showcase the best harmony they’ve ever had on stage, raising curiosity. Gipoem revealed that they chose to perform Seo Taiji and Boys' "Hayeoga," confessing they faced significant deliberation before selecting the song. They stated, "We pondered over 20 songs and ultimately decided to go with something bold," clenching their fists. Yoo Chae-hoon added, "There are many points to watch, including Kim Gi-tae's performance of 'The Howl of the Wolf' and La Poem's rap challenge," building excitement.
In particular, Gipoem, having each won six trophies from "Immortal Songs," boasts a total of 12 trophies, making them a formidable contender for victory. Thus, interest is heightened regarding whether their bold stage can secure another victory trophy.
On the other hand, the second part of the "2025 Oh My Star" special is garnering expectations with a strong lineup that has led to the phrase "hell party" being coined. Additionally, with the score disclosure system revived for this special, it has been reported that the competition was decided by a mere two votes, already raising anticipation for the live broadcast.
Meanwhile, the special event "2025 Oh My Star" from "Immortal Songs," which is a signature special, is continuing today (24th) with the second part at 6:05 p.m. on KBS 2TV following the first part that aired on the 17th (Saturday).
