Singer K.Will delivered an emotional tribute to the late Wheesung on the June 6 episode of KBS2's 'Immortal Songs', performing the ballad "I'm Missing You" at the request of legendary composer Kim Do-hoon. The performance marked K.Will's first appearance on the show in eight years and came nearly a year after Wheesung's passing, with both the audience and fellow performers visibly moved to tears.
The episode, themed "Composer Kim Do-hoon Part 2," originally aired at 6:05 PM KST on June 6, 2026. Kim Do-hoon revealed that he had declined an earlier invitation to appear on 'Immortal Songs' years ago because Wheesung was seriously ill at the time, stating he would only participate when his close collaborator recovered. This episode was Kim Do-hoon's way of finally honoring Wheesung's legacy, and he personally requested that K.Will sing Wheesung's song for the special occasion.
For K-pop fans, this tribute carries deep emotional weight because K.Will and Wheesung shared a close friendship that spanned decades, with K.Will crediting Wheesung's music for launching his own career through impersonations that earned him variety show appearances and public recognition. The performance serves as both a farewell and a promise that Wheesung's music will continue to be remembered.
"Wheesung is a singer who influenced not only me but many other singers. I hope his songs will be sung more often." — K.Will
