On the 10th, TV CHOSUN aired Golden Beats Friday, staging a tribute performance for Kim Se-hwan.

Choo Hyuk-jin selected Kim Se-hwan's "What Can I Do About Something Good." He said he was drawn to the song for its pure timbre and poetic lyrics. With his signature soft tone, Choo immediately held the room; the delicate delivery paired with an upbeat rhythm lifted the set's energy.

The audience responded with warm applause and cheers. After Choo's set, Choi Jae-myung took the stage with "Sitting by the Road." He opened the song by channeling the fresh, earnest innocence of that era.

Listeners tapped along to his bright, honeyed voice. Even singers from the C'est Si Bon era smiled as they watched the lively performance. Choi's breezy interpretation evoked a wave of nostalgia across the crowd.
