The number one song in the 'male singers acknowledged by men' hit song list is Shin Seung-woo's 'Toward Tomorrow.'

On the broadcast of KBS Joy's '20th Century Hit Song' on 6th at 8:30 p.m., various songs by singers who demonstrated their talents were introduced under the theme 'It's a foul~ It's a foul~ Maximum ability! Hexagonal singer hit song.'

Before introducing the songs, Lee Mi-joo said, 'Can you guess what we call someone who sings well, is good-looking, and dances well? It's a hexagonal human. She mentioned BTS's Jungkook, BLACKPINK's Jennie, actor Jo Jung-seok, and singer Lee Chan-won.' In response, Kim Hee-chul noted, 'In the past, people said that if you were good-looking, you couldn't do anything else. However, these days, good-looking people also have great abilities.'

On that day's countdown, the number 10 spot went to Jo Sung-mo's 'Do You Know' (2000), a representative song of soothing male voices. Kim Hee-chul said, 'It is said that when he sang at karaoke during his school days, he received attention from others,' referring to Jo Sung-mo's popularity. Lee Mi-joo then confessed an anecdote about a time after her debut when she received side dishes from a man at a neighboring table while drinking with friends. It turned out that the man did not know she was an entertainer and had given them to her because he liked her. Lee Mi-joo added, 'I felt my pride hurt because he said he didn't know,' and revealed that she paid for that table instead and left, generating laughter.

Park Myung-soo's 'Foolish Love' (1999), released before the popular techno songs of Lee Jung-hyun, Baek Ji-young, and Chae Jeong-an, took the 9th spot. It was explained that the album containing this song was produced by Park Myung-soo at his own expense of 20 million won.

YDG (Yang Dong-geun)'s 'Alleyway' ranked 8th. Lee Mi-joo revealed, 'Beenzino mentioned in several interviews that he wanted to collaborate with him,' and then shared, 'The reason he had been inactive in hip-hop was due to parenting.' She continued, 'He was scheduled to guest at Beenzino's concert, but on the day of the performance, his wife left the house taking their child after a couple's quarrel. At that time, Yang Dong-geun appeared on stage wearing a baby carrier with two puppies.'

Kim Soo-cheol's 'A Flower That Blooms Unseen' (1983) came in 7th, while Lee Jung-hyun's 'Jul-lae' (2000), noted for her stage presence, planning skills, acting, self-management, and cooking skills, took 6th place. In particular, it was explained that Lee Jung-hyun was 'cast after overcoming a competition ratio of 3000 to 1 in her debut work, 'Petals,' and won the Best New Actress Award at the Blue Dragon Film Awards with this work.'

Ranking 5th was Sung Si-kyung's 'Miso Angel' (2001), one of his few dance songs that garnered attention, and 4th place went to Lee Hyori's 'Hey Girl' (2003). Kim Hee-chul remarked about Lee Hyori, 'It's rude to quantify her in terms of hexagons,' and mentioned that when she started endorsing commercial advertisements after about 11 years, she received love calls from various brands, stating that she earned about 4.2 billion won in just five months at that time.

Jeon Young-rok's 'Please Write Love with a Pencil' (1983) ranked 3rd. It was introduced that besides this song, Kim Hee-ae's 'Don't Forget Me,' Yang Soo-kyung's 'Love Is Like Raindrops Outside,' and Lee Ji-yeon’s 'Stop the Wind' are also immensely popular songs composed by Jeon Young-rok and given to other singers.

Kim Won-jun's 'Always' (1993), noted for his various talents such as visuals and acting, was selected as 2nd. Kim Hee-chul explained regarding this song, 'Kim Won-jun created this song himself expressing the painful feelings after breaking up with his first love.'

The ultimate number one in the theme 'It's a foul~ It's a foul~ Maximum ability! Hexagonal singer hit song' is San Ul- rim's 'Your Meaning.' Kim Hee-chul praised San Ul-rim as 'a living history.' He also shared that San Ul-rim member Kim Chang-wan debuted as a poet by writing poems, and that Kim Chang-wan drew the pictures on the cover of the San Ul-rim album and has such excellent skills that he recently held a solo exhibition.
