The first season of
Immortal Songs
was co-hosted by former
Country Kko Kko
partners
Shin Jung-hwan
and
Tak Jae-hoon
. Although the show initially had various co-hosts,
Kim Sung-eun
became the final permanent host alongside Shin and Tak. The special guest for the week is their "vocal coach," usually a famous Korean singer, although sometimes record producers and composers have appeared as the special guest. During the course of the show, the special guest's top singles (as voted by netizens) are revealed and the "students" must sing
karaoke
-style. At the end of the show, the best singer/student is chosen by the special guest and receives a special prize. This segment started from Kim Won-joon's episode where he brought in presents on his own accord. The show has typically showcased older singers from the past who may or may not be still active in the entertainment industry, including
Lee Seung-chul
and
Kim Heung-gook
. However they have also had episodes featuring more recent artists, including
S.E.S.
, in recognition of their 10th anniversary since debut, as well as
Sung Si-kyung
just before he left for
military service
in July 2008. This show aired its final episode on September 14, 2008 and was replaced by
Kko Kko Tours Single♥Single
.
