Trot survival show "Active Singer King 2" has finished the first round of the finals, "New Song Mission - Battle for No. 1," which was even more like a TV series than the TV series. It's a shock, a reversal, and a hit all at the same time.
The 12th episode of MBN TV's 30th anniversary commemorative "Active Singer King 2" aired on the 18th, garnering a peak audience rating of 13.6% and a nationwide audience rating of 12.6% (according to Nielsen Korea), making it the 1st
Not only did it set a new record for the highest combined viewership rating for a program aired in that time slot across all terrestrial, general programming, and cable channels for one consecutive week, it also ranked first in viewership ratings for variety shows aired on all channels on Tuesdays.
The show also featured the TOP 10, selected through the semi-finals, Kang Moon Kyung, Shin Seung Tae, Fany, Jin
- Hyesung, Kim Jun Su (Xia), Shinyu, Kim Soo Chan, Park So Jin, Choi Soo Ho, and Enok advance to the TOP 7 national team in the final battle, the first round of the finals, "New Song Mission - 1st Place Competition"
The first round of the finals, "New Song Mission - Battle for the No. 1 Spot," is a round where the TOP10 will compete with new songs that they will be performing for the first time on "Active Song King 2," and the singers who will be paired with current singers will compete.
The first round of the finals, with a total of 1,100 points at stake, included 630 points from the celebrity judging panel, 70 points from the composer judging panel, and 400 points from the public judging panel.
The contest was run using a push-out system, and only the final winner received a benefit of adding 100 points to their score.
First, he was a candidate for ejection from the semi-finals, but he narrowly escaped death and advanced to the finals.
Enoch said, "We absolutely must move forward. There is no turning back now." As Enoch began to sing EuReKa's "Daejeon Station Blues," the audience heard the sad voice.
He drew admiration with his excellent acting skills and explosive high notes that were filled with sad emotions. D-LITE (BIGBANG) said, "I think this is the taste of Enoch. It's a taste that will make you go crazy."
Enoch was the first to take first place with 876 points. Park So Jin took on the challenge of a grand piece with Jeong Eui Seong's "Road to Namdo."
"I chose this song because I wanted to try out a deep genre that I hadn't tried before and a vocal color that I hadn't been able to use before," said Park So Jin, who is working hard to practice his voice again in order to get a strong sound that suits the song.
Park So Jin received 779 points and praise from Seol Un Do, who said, "There's such a side to Park So Jin?", but failed to reclaim first place.
Next, Kim Soo-chan will sing "When is Heung-boo?", Shin-yu will sing "Samba with you", Kim Jun-su (Xia) will sing "I'll forget it and have a drink", and Jin Hye-sung will sing "I'll forget it and have a drink".
Fany challenged Enoch with "Ultima noche" but failed to regain first place. Shin Seung-tae, who took the stage next, was hidden by composer Ryu Sun-woo's "Evidence".
Shin Seung-tae unleashed the humor he had been preparing for. He used his secret weapon, reading glasses, to add a witty touch and his relaxed, refreshing singing voice brought out a loveliness never seen before.
Shin Seung-tae was in a close race with Enoch, who was seven points behind him, with the praise of "He's like the kind of person who gets sick if he doesn't go on stage," but in the end, his chances of regaining first place were dashed.
Enoch, who had his first first place in the first round of the finals, held on to the top spot until the very last round, never losing it. Enoch's score of 876 points was 100.
He received 100 points for Benefit and took the lead in the first round with a total of 976 points, and went from being a candidate for release in the semi-finals to taking the lead in the first round of the finals, showing a dramatic comeback that was very moving.
Second place was Shin Seung-tae with 869 points, third place was Kang Moon-kyung with 837 points, fourth place was Choi Soo-ho with 830 points, fifth place was Kim Jun Su (Xia) with 829 points, sixth place was Jin Hye-seon with 798 points, and seventh place was 7
Park So Jin won with 79 points. Meanwhile, Kim Soo-chan with 776 points, Shinyu with 758 points, and Fany with 745 points were ranked 8th, 9th, and 10th, respectively, as candidates for expulsion, falling out of the stable zone of the national team's TOP 7.
In particular, Fany, who had been leading the way, came in last in the first round of the finals, which was quite a shock.
Under these circumstances, the second round of the finals, which will be broadcast live on the 25th, will see the score of the first round.
The fact that 3,900 points, three times the number of points, are at stake creates a sense of tension. In addition, the second round of the finals will feature streaming of the new songs from the first round, which will be released on various music sites on the 19th.
With the addition of the live mail voting scores and the results from the live broadcast, it is expected that the situation will become even more unpredictable. The long-awaited national TOP7 will be revealed next week, and the glorious 2nd active singing king will be crowned.
There is growing interest in who will be the next leader.
