Legendary diva Patti Kim, who last month announced the end of her 54-year singing career, burst into tears on a special feature tribute show.

On a special edition of KBS 2’s singing contest show “Immortal Song 2,” which aired on Saturday, the 74-yearold couldn’t hold back her tears when singer Sonya performed her song “Oath of Love” with accompanying sign language.

“Her effort to learn sign language was beautiful,” said Kim, who is currently preparing for her farewell concert in June. “It just reminded me of the feeling I had when I auditioned in front of Americans when I was 20 years old. My tears just came out, reminding me that it has been 54 years since I first started singing.”

The 31-year-old Sonya said she prepared the song with sign language so that the hearing impaired could also understand the lyrics. “I just don’t know how to react after a great singer like Kim gives me such praise,” Sonya said.

At a press conference in Seoul, Kim, 74, said, "Starting from June of this year, I will hold a number of farewell performances for one year both in Korea and overseas, and then retire from the stage."

After she debuted in 1958 with a performance for U.S. troops stationed in Korea, many of Kim's songs became hits.

Starting with a concert in Seoul on June 2, she plans to tour major cities in the country then move on to Los Angeles, New York, Sydney and other cities with huge Korean populations. Each performance will feature over 200 people, including her colleagues in the industry and Korean idol groups.

Kim vowed not to stage any profit-making concerts or comebacks after she retires, but said that she may feature in charity events. "If I really want to sing, I'll do it in front of the mirror," she said.
