'Rolling stone! The No. 1 in the hit song is Koyote's 'Passion (2000).'
The KBS Joy program '20th Century Hit Song' aired on the 20th at 8:30 p.m., introducing hit songs from singers who gained great popularity after member changes.
On this day, the 10th place was Turtle's 'Bingo (2004).' Lee Mi-joo noted, 'Turtle began to gain popularity starting with the second album 'Come On' and 'Why This Way' after Kumbi Corporation joined,' while Kim Heechul explained, 'They became the top choice for university festivals, participating in up to 27 events a month.'
The song 'Sexy man (1999)' by Space A, of which the singer The One was a founding member, was ranked 9th. Space A, which replaced all members except Kim Hyun-jung from the second album onward, reportedly ranked high on music broadcast charts and was known for having the highest event pay among mixed groups at that time.
Meanwhile, 'Tell Me Tell Me (1999)' by S#arp was ranked 8th. Following the addition of two new teenage members, UP's 'Ppuyoppuyo (1997)' ranked 7th, having won awards at various ceremonies and music programs.
In addition, Jewelry's 'Again (2002),' the girl group with the most member changes in Korea, ranked 6th. The group, which saw a total of 10 members from the 1st to the 4th generation, reportedly rose to the top spot two months after releasing their second album. Kim Heechul revealed, 'Seo In-young was street-cast a week before the second album activities.'
The 5th place was taken by DJ DOC's 'Murphy's Law (1995).' Lee Mi-joo explained, 'As soon as Jung Jae-yong joined, they had their first number one with the second album, received a top 10 award, and reached the peak of commercial success with the third album,' while Kim Heechul added, 'During the first album, there were many male fans. It is said that female fans increased tremendously with Jung Jae-yong's arrival. There was even an incident of intruding on stage.'
'In My Life, Spring Days (2001)' by Can was introduced as 4th place. Originally, Can was a duo consisting of Lee Jong-won and composer Yoo Hae-jun, but Yoo Hae-jun left after the first album activities, and Bae Ki-sung joined from the second album onward. Lee Mi-joo discussed how they not only dominated the music charts but also received 5,000 album orders a day and were featured in more than 10 regular programs, becoming the 'tap water group' when the TV was turned on.
Following that, Cool's 'Small Waiting (1995),' which became a hit after member changes, ranked 3rd. Cool was originally a four-member mixed group at its debut, but after the departures of Yoo Chae-young and Choi Jun-myung, they restructured into a trio with the addition of Yuri. Lee Mi-joo noted, 'The third album became a big hit. They won their first number one and a golden cup award, significantly impacting H.O.T.'s consecutive number ones,' adding that Kim Sung-soo and Lee Jae-hoon treated Yuri with utmost respect. In a related video clip, Koyote's Shinji commented with laughter, 'I'm still envious, and I will probably be for life,' and 'So that's how female members are treated.'
Baby V.O.X's 'Get Up (1999),' which claimed the number one spot on Music Bank shortly after the addition of Yoon Eun-hye and even shot their first advertisement, was named 2nd.
'Rolling stone! The coveted number one goes to Koyote's 'Passion (2000).' Kim Heechul joked, 'The rolling stone is Jang Min, who got married recently.' In fact, Koyote originally consisted of three members: Cha Seung-min, Shin Ji, and Kim Gu, but after the second album activities, Cha Seung-min left, and Kim Jong-min joined as a guest member during the third album activities. Lee Mi-joo explained, 'Sales reached 300,000 copies two months after the album was released.'
