Singer and actor Jin-young, a former member of the group B1A4, will serve as a special judge for the Bild Cup.
In the second episode of the SBS entertainment program "Bale Cup," which will air on the 18th, the main stage of the competition by prominent figures and the more intense semi-final contest will be unveiled.
In the following finals, the intense stage of Korea's TOP1 "Gyeongsang-do Steel Seongdae" will be followed by the stage of Philippine TOP1 "Laguna Diva." 10CM, who watched the stage of "Gyeongsang-do Steel Seongdae," praised it, saying, "I got goosebumps several times," while Ailee and Paul Kim praised it as "a skill that has not been shown on the peninsula." The stage of the Philippine TOP1 "Laguna Diva," which was expected to be a vocal powerhouse, will then be unveiled, but the scene is said to be shocked by the unexpected result of the reversal.
In the final round of "Bale Piftin," which will determine 15 people who will advance to the semi-final, 17 successful applicants will be eliminated, and two more of them will be eliminated. Tensions continue amid brutal rules that even successful applicants cannot let their guard down, and there are also unusual events in which countries in which TOP3 is "all eliminated."
An MVP country will also be born in which all of the TOP3 have not received a single elimination button from the judges. The MVP country participants are given "all-time benefits" that can change the game of the semi-final, arousing curiosity. It is said that even the judges were surprised by the strong benefit to be revealed later, and attention is focused on what the benefit will be and which country will take the benefit.
In the semi-final, singer and actor Jinyoung from B1A4, who recently received great love for the drama "Good Woman Buscemi," will be a special judge. Jinyoung, who is active as an all-rounder, such as acting, singing, composing, and producer, will present an in-depth examination centered on the vocals and expressiveness of the participants, drawing sympathy from many.
The semi-final mission to be released is a triple death match in which three participants sing in a team, but only one of the three goes straight to the grand final and the other two are eliminated immediately. It is rumored that both judges and participants are shocked by the cruel mission that signals the elimination of 10 out of 15 people.
Then, as the stage of powerful players who are difficult to determine their superiority in the semi-final unfolds, the judges eventually give up the screening. Henry exclaims, "It wasn't a confrontation, it was like a group," and Ailee sighs, "It's impossible to judge," while 10CM even declares "given," signaling the birth of another legendary stage.
Even, the judges will react with resentment to MC Lee Da-hee, who conducted the draw, raising expectations for which participants will perform which stage.
