Actor Park Bo-gum, along with dancers Hyojin Choi and Rihey, will gather in one place for Lee Seung-chul's 40th debut anniversary.

In the music show "Never Ending Story - Lee Seung-chul," part of the 2026 KBS 2TV Chuseok Special "Your Life Is a Never-Ending Story - Lee Seung-chul" broadcasting on the 24th (Thursday) at 7:30 PM, special collaboration stages that will newly complete Lee Seung-chul's 40 years of masterpieces will be revealed.

First, actor Park Bo-gum will take the stage to celebrate Lee Seung-chul's 40th debut anniversary. The two share a special connection through Lee Seung-chul's "I Love You a Lot" music video in the past. The connection between the two, formed through music, adds special meaning as it continues to Lee Seung-chul's 40th anniversary stage.

In particular, Park Bo-gum will personally play the piano and sing "I Love You a Lot" as a duet with Lee Seung-chul. The connection between the two, which began with appearing in the music video for the song in the past, leads to a duet on one stage during the 40th anniversary performance. Park Bo-gum expressed his respect and affection for Lee Seung-chul, saying, "I feel grateful to be able to join and celebrate the 40th anniversary commemorative stage," while also offering warm Chuseok greetings to the audience visiting the venue. Expectations are high for the special duet stage that will be completed by the meeting of Park Bo-gum's piano melody and Lee Seung-chul's voice.

Hyojin Choi and Rihey will lend their strength to Lee Seung-chul's "Girls' Generation" stage. "Girls' Generation," which has been loved for a long time across generations, will be reborn with a different color through the intense energy of the two performers. It is said that the atmosphere of the arena was instantly raised as Hyojin Choi and Rihey's performance was added to Lee Seung-chul's explosive live vocals.

Large-scale directing that maximizes the narrative of each song also adds fun to the performance. From the opening that begins with a 7m high cube descending, stages that actively utilize the arena space, such as aerial lifts, giant air balloons, and large LED screens, will unfold in succession. The diverse directing, which even involves drones, unfolds different scenes for each song, providing rich visual spectacles as if opening "gift boxes" one by one.

At the center of the spectacular sights is, ultimately, Lee Seung-chul's voice. Songs that have been loved across eras, such as "Heeya," "The Last Concert," "Western Sky," "My Love," "Today, I Again," "Shout," "Never Ending Story," "Jasmine Flower," and "Fate," will unfold even more grandly as they meet the Hwangje Band and a 30-piece string orchestra. Combined with a three-dimensional sound system utilizing approximately 200 speakers, the heat and vivid resonance of the venue, attended by 12,000 spectators, are expected to be delivered intact to living rooms.

Following the documentary and variety shows, the finale "Never Ending Story - Lee Seung-chul" of the 2026 KBS 2TV Chuseok Special "Your Life Is a Never-Ending Story - Lee Seung-chul," which is finally completed with Lee Seung-chul's true essence, "Live," will be broadcast on the 24th (Thursday) at 7:30 PM.
