"Sing Again 3", the third installment of JTBC's popular reboot audition show "Sing Again", where Lee Seung Gi serves as MC, has started. Returned after 2 years
Many viewers have been eagerly waiting for the show, and just like in previous seasons, it's gathering Hot Topics. In terms of audience ratings, the first episode (broadcasted on October 26th) was 4.8%, but the second episode (broadcasted on November 26th)
The rate has been steadily increasing, with the number being 6.7% (broadcasted on November 2nd) and 7.3% (based on Nielsen Korea, national standards) for Episode 3 (broadcasted on November 9th). The first round has been released up to this EP3,
It clearly showed what kind of hidden talent there is. The difference from previous seasons is that the broadcast day has changed from Monday to Thursday. In addition, the judges'
One example is that the lineup has changed significantly. The head judge was replaced by Yoon Jong Shin from Yoo Hee Yeol, who resigned due to plagiarism scandal. In addition, Baek Ji Yeong replaced Lee Seon Hee, who resigned due to a breach of trust affair.
, Yim Jaebum replaced Yoon Do Hyun. With this, the only senior judge who has appeared since season 1 is lyricist Kim In-ha, and the lineup has completely changed.
Meanwhile, the junior judges are Kyuhyun (SUPER JUNIOR), Sunmi (formerWonder)
Girls), Lee HYERI (DAVICHI) continues, and the cast remains the same. Only one to join the military
In place of MINO (WINNER), who left the show in the middle of Season 2, CODE KUNST will join from this season. CODE KUNST is “SHOW ME THE
He is a well-known producer for the ``MONEY'' (Mnet) series, and is also well known for his close friendship with MINO.
In terms of the relationship between the judges, Yoon Jong Shin and Kyuhyun are ``Radio
This is their first collaboration together in three years since "Star" (MBC). Yoon Jong Shin and Baek Ji Yeong will be judging together for the first time in eight years since 'Superstar K7'. By the way, "Supers"
The winner of ``K7'' was Kevin Oh, who married actress Kong Hyo Jin last year. Although the lineup of judges has changed in this way, the evaluation comments from the judges have remained the same as before.
Regardless of whether they pass or fail, the "gentle audition" is still alive and well, with all of the contestants clearly showing their desire to support the participants with loving praise and advice. This program
It goes without saying that since the first broadcast, many moving scenes have appeared one after another, due to the circumstances of the participants who approached the event with earnest feelings as if it were their last chance.
Nothing has changed. Now, what I'm curious about is the lineup of participants. A total of 77 teams advanced to the final round this season, but only 43 teams made it through the first round. 34 teams have already dropped out. So
There are many former idols among them, including Lee Ah-reum from "T-ARA", Fany from "UP10TION" who left "BOYS PLANET" (Mnet), and "LOVELY".
Lee Suzyung from "Z" and Kim Chae Won from "APRIL" were eliminated in the first round.
On the other hand, Reina from "AFTERSHOOL" and Park Jae-up from "IMFACT" passed.
We decided to advance to the second round. Speaking of ``IMFACT,'' Kim Tae-ho appeared in season 1 and did a great job reaching the top 10, so Park Jae-up could follow suit.
That's one of the highlights. In addition, notable participants include Lim Gang-sung, who is currently active as an actor and whose OST "Wildling" from the SBS Taiga TV Series "Wildling Age" was a big hit;
SungHoon, who left the representative R&B group ``Brown Eyed Soul'' in March, passed the first round and advanced to the second round.
In addition, as judge Lee HYERI also mentioned, this season there will be so-called "tympanic boyfriends" who will soothe your ears with their sweet singing voices.
A large number of people were seen, including the twinkling creatures who have already captured the hearts of the female judges. “Sing Again 3” seems to be getting even more exciting this season. 2nd episode from EP4 broadcast on November 16th
The wind begins.
