In the semi-finals to decide the 10 people who would advance to the finals, there was a first round "one-on-one genre battle" with 400 points at stake, and a second round "final" with 860 points at stake.
The top nine people who received the combined points from the "One-on-one Genre Battle" and the "National Support Vote" with 140 points at stake will go straight to the finals, while the bottom five will be selected for release.
The contest was a multiple-choice contest in which two active singers chose the same genre and had to share 400 points, creating an even more tense atmosphere than usual.
First, Jaeha and Shin Seung-tae, who competed in the "Ballad Trot" song, are best friends, so it was a fun and entertaining experience that only happened when they were in a match.
The nerve-wracking battle drew laughter. When Shin Seung-tae said to him, "I'll beat you," Jae-ha replied, "Just because you open your eyes wide and sing a ballad doesn't mean you can sing well."
Shin Seung-tae tried to relax as much as possible while singing "Rain Water," while Jae-ha sang a high note in "Why Me." Shin Seung-tae focused on relaxing his eyes.
Despite the concerns of the masters who were disappointed that he was not able to demonstrate his skills to the fullest, he scored 293 points and won the match against Jeha.
Choi Soo-ho, who chose "Semi-Trot", was praised for his bold expression and rough dance moves.
The band exudes a contrasting charm as a "treasure trove of Noh," and is reminiscent of D-LITE's (BIGBANG) "Look at Me, Queen." Enoch ignites his fighting spirit with a punk-infused "Love is Innocent."
With high jumps and energy that dominated the crowd, they put on a performance that rivaled a Broadway stage. Choi Soo-ho won the competition with 237 points to 163 points.
In the "orthodox trot" battle between Roh Jihoon and Kim Jun Su (Xia), she chose "Taedong River, full of grudges" with the help of her close senior, "Queen of Trot" SONG GAIN.
Mu Jun Su (Xia) received 254 points, beating Roh Jihoon who received 146 points. Na Tae Joo and Kim Soo Chan put on a hot performance with their specialty "dance trot",
Kim Soo-chan, who sang "Love's Name Tag," showed off his magic by transforming the stage into a club in an instant, earning 271 points, beating Na Tae-joo who got 129 points.
Park So Jin and Kang Moon Kyung, who competed in the "traditional trot" genre, reduced the studio to tears with a song about their mothers.
So Jin left a strong impression with her heart-wrenching singing that matched the lyrics of "Motherly Love" and her narration that moved viewers to tears. Kang Moon Kyung, who appeared in a traditional Korean dress, was a young girl who took care of her parents when they were busy.
While singing "Late Mother," a song dedicated to her late grandmother who had looked after her until recently, she made the audience and the celebrity judges' panel all teary-eyed with her movements that seemed to clear the sadness.
In the next stage, Fany performed "Anata to Isshoni" with a unique R&B vocal, and then transformed into a Michael Jackson-esque power dance and sexy dance.
From the sexy hip-hop dance to the stylish ad-libs and heavy metal-level high notes, the group created a frenzy like a concert hall. Fany said, "The tone of the music, the way it feels,
The group was met with a storm of praise, with comments such as "The theory was very fresh and good, and it was wonderful," and "If they pay attention to the new trot, they will be able to show their originality," and the group received 325 points, following the perfect score from the celebrity judges.
With a high score of 100 points, she won by a large margin over Kim Kyung Min. As a result of the first round, Fany, Kang Moon Kyung, and Kim Moon Kyung were in the "stable zone" to move directly to the finals.
Mu Soo-chan, Kim Jun Su (Xia), Shin Seung-tae, Choi Soo-ho, Shin Yu, Jin Hye-seon, and Enoch were in the finals.
Jaeha, Roh Jihoon, Na Taeju, Park So Jin, and Kim Kyungmin came in 14th place, shocking the crowd. Next time, the results of the first round will be announced in the second round "Final Showdown" where 860 points will be at stake.
It is interesting to see whether this will be overturned. Also on this day's broadcast, the top 7 results of the 8 weeks of "National Support Vote" were revealed. The 8 weeks of "National Support Vote" combined results were: 1st place was Park So Jin, 2nd place was
