Singer Park Jaebeom remade Kim Wansun’s ‘Feel Good Day’ in his own R&B style.

On KBS 2TV’s ‘Immortal Song 2: Singing the Legend’ which was broadcast on the 27^th, the contestants competed by singing the songs of Kim Wansun, ‘The 7^th Legend’.

Jay Park performed first among the six idol members. The song he was assigned was Kim Wan-sun’s ‘Feel Good Day’.

Jay Park bravely chose to go first against all odds, although he had the advantage to choose his turn as a reward for winning in the preliminary rounds last week. He explained, “There hasn’t been anyone choosing to go first so far; I wanted to challenge going first for a change,” when asked why he chose to go first.

He performed ‘Feel Good Day’ with his own color, full of the R&B feel. He remade the song sweetly, placing his own special English lyrics strategically in the song. Kim Gura was also amazed by the new mood of ‘Feel Good Day’ and said, “The song was totally changed.”

Kim Wan-sun said, “The rearrangement was beyond my imagination. ‘Feel Good Day’ is originally a really bright and cheerful song. I knew he was a good R&B singer but it’s still amazing that he sang the well-rearranged song this good,” praising Jay Park.

However, Jay Park lost to Jun Jiyoon due to Immortal Song judges’ votes and he failed to proceed to the next round.

Jay Park will also leave Immortal Song 2, following Hyorin, G.O. and Kyuhyun.

According to an affiliated staff of KBS 2TV’s Announcing Freedom – Immortal Song 2, Jay Park has decided on August 25th to leave the show to prepare for his new album. He will leave to the US on August 29th after recording his last competition.

Before him, Sistar’s Hyorin, MBLAQ’s G.O. and Super Junior’s Kyuhyun has also decided to leave. Their withdrawal is inevitable due to album preps and international activities. Huh Gak will remain on IS2. 4minute’s Jiyoon has not made a decision yet.

The staff commented, “Their leave is regretful but we will be able to create a new format through this opportunity. The IS2 staff are trying their best in casting new members so that it won’t feel empty.”

Hyorin, G.O., Kyuhyun and Jay Park are continuously practicing for their last recording on the 29th. After letting them go, IS2 is planning to meet the viewers with new special episodes.

Singers Jay Park and Kwon Riseh have collaborated after being chosen as a couple model for a casual clothing brand.

In early August, Jay Park and Kwon Riseh released their couple photoshoot for ‘denizen from Levi’s', a denim casual brand. They are gathering attention this time with a couple song, named “The Denizen Song”. Jay Park, whose singing abilities have been proven on IS2, and Kwon Riseh, who showed off her talent as a singer on A Great Creation, had fun at the recording by showing interest and creating harmonies together.

The “Denizen Song”, a remake of the denizen theme song, was remixed in Jay Park and Kwon Riseh’s styles. In addition, denizen is doing a promotion to support university students with their tuition at the same time. (omit)

Celebrity Boom was released from the army on the 22nd. Singer Jay Park also welcomed him back. Netizens are cheering for him as well by saying, “We anticipate the future activities of ‘ssanti’ Boom.”

Boom (Lee Min-Ho), entered the army in October 29th, 2009 (omit). Back then, Boom commented, “I’m half-nervous and half-excited. The army is another society. I will leave the name Boom behind and do my best as Lee Min-Ho.” As he had stated, Boom returned to his fans after finishing his duties well.

On August 14th, Boom wrote, “It’s finally my last vacation. Excitement!! Shaking!! I’m finally getting one of these. I cannot believe this moment. Like like like” on his twitter, revealing his feelings close to the discharge.

(omit) Super Junior’s Lee Teuk, Eunhyuk and Shindong came to Boom’s discharge ceremony, keeping their friendship. Jay Park participated in the ceremony as well and emphasized his friendship (with Boom). The ardent relationship between Boom and Jay Park are well known. In 2009, when Jay Park left 2PM due to the internet controversy, and flew back to the US, Boom was the only one that showed his support publicly, though it was hard to do so at the time.

Back then, Boom wrote to Jay Park, “My heart hurts as if it is ripping in two as (Jay) is a dongsaeng I love very much. I know that he will return as a better person as I believe in and love my brother. This hyung will try harder so that when you return, I will protect you and give you a hug.” To keep this friendship, Jay Park came to visit Boom at his discharge ceremony.

(omit) Boom already has broadcast recording schedules. He will return to Strong Heart on this coming 25th and make a comeback to variety programs. He will also start as the new DJ for the SBS radio, Young Street. In the army, Boom was active as an MC and he will show off his skills to the listeners every night.

At the discharge ceremony, Boom revealed, “I can’t believe (that I’m discharged). Thanks for the warm welcome. My duty now is to give laughter to the public. I will give the passion and the energy I learned from the army to the viewers.”
