On November 4, 2021, KBS announced that it will reopen their music shows to a live audience for the first time since January 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic began. Kim Shin-young also left the show in November and Lee Chan-won was named permanent host on Novemso him and Kim Jun-hyun are now the only 2 official waiting room hosts. He was replaced by trot singer Shin Yu in July 2021 but he left the show in October and was replaced by a series of guest hosts (see below). The show's third waiting room host, Kim Tae-woo, left on June 2021 after 3 years. Moon Hee-joon & Jung Jae-hyung both left the program after being part of it for 9 & 8 years respectively and it was announced that Kim Jun-hyun and Kim Shin-young will be replacing them. Starting August 22, 2020, the show was re-branded as Immortal Songs. They scored the artist, but the score was not shown on screen and instead a light was used to indicate the winner. Starting February 15, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the votes were done by 20 special judges (mostly KBS employees). The performer with the most votes on the episode wins. The order of performances is decided randomly by presenter Shin Dong-yup drawing a ball containing the performer's name, and the 500-member audience vote after each round for their favorite performance. Guest singers are seated in a waiting room with the three hosts, where they introduce themselves to viewers. A noted feature of the new format is the "special episodes" which revolve around specific themes, such as festive or commemorate events. As before, they each perform their own reinterpreted versions of famous songs by the legendary singer of the episode.
Each episode now features seven singers or groups from diverse backgrounds and years of experience, ranging from members of popular K-pop idol groups to legendary solo artists. After restructuring in 2012, the show returned on April 7 as an independent program and rebranded as Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend.
Originally broadcast as Immortal Songs 2 as a part of KBS Saturday Freedom, each episode featured six idol singers who would perform songs by the singer of the episode. The program airs a new episode every Saturday on KBS2, and re-airs it with English subtitles on KBS World a week later in the same time frame. It is a revival of Immortal Songs (2007–2009), and each episode features singers who perform their reinterpreted versions of songs. Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend ( Korean: 불후의 명곡: 전설을 노래하다 RR: Bulhu-ui Myeong-gok: Jeonseoreul Noraehada), also known as Immortal Songs 2 ( Korean: 불후의 명곡 2), is a South Korean television music competition program presented by Shin Dong-yup.
