In the first round of the third round of the "current singer king 3," 10-year-old unknown Koo Soo-kyung ranked first in the middle, while Bin Ye-seo, who is aiming for the youngest singer, faced an unprecedented crisis during the second round.
According to Nielsen Korea, a rating research company, on the 4th, the seventh episode of MBN's "The King of Strings 3," which aired on the afternoon of the 3rd, broke its own record again with a maximum viewership of 12.5% per minute and 11.5% nationwide. In particular, it ranked No. 1 on all channels on Tuesday, including all programs broadcast on terrestrial, general-cable channels.
Game 3 of the finals, the final gateway to the semifinals, was held on this day. The 16 active players who advanced to the third round of the finals opened their doors by bowing to the judges with the sincerity of "I really want to go to the quarterfinals." The third round of the finals consisted of a total of two rounds, and as a result of the sum of the first and second rounds, only the top eight players will advance to the semifinals and the bottom eight will be candidates for release. In particular, the first round was held with "Witch Hunt 2" by legendary witches with 152 years of experience, including Ha Chun-hwa, Jung Soo-ra, and Joo Hyun-mi. It is a "one-song competition" in which two active players share the songs of the legendary witches, and the active players, who have been selected by all three legendary witches, are given 30 additional points, raising tensions.
Geum Jandi and Hai Liang appeared as the first match, and Hai Liang drew attention as she gained another opportunity through a re-voting of masters after Suk Haeng's voluntary departure. Geum Jandi and Hai Liang performed Ha Chun-hwa's "Rain in Masan Port" with extreme charm by adding a performance using umbrellas. However, amid the criticism that "it would have been better not to perform," Geum Jan-di, who received 200 points, won an additional 30 points of benefits for the legendary witches.
The match between Kang Hye-yeon and Hong-ja, which active players picked as the most difficult to predict victory or defeat, continued. Amid the strong fandom's support, the two chose Joo Hyun-mi's "Farewellju" and showed an attractive performance with an in-depth voice, but they were praised as "somewhat unfortunate." Hongja scored 208 points and Kang Hye-yeon scored 92 points, with 116 points difference, raising tensions.
Koo Soo-kyung and Cha Da-hye performed Joo Hyun-mi's "Wait" performance, adding a cute performance while transforming into a groom and bride, respectively. Original singer Joo Hyun-mi expressed regret, saying, "It was a really different stage, but the performance was more colorful than the song." Koo Soo-kyung, who received an overwhelming score of 259, took the first place with 30 benefits from the Legend Witch Team.
The showdown between the MVPs and the strong finalist, Trot Top-tier Hong Ji-yoon, and the musical Top-tier Cha Ji-yeon, sent the heat of the scene soaring. The two took the stage with Jung Soo-ra's "Have You Ever Seen My Love," a highly difficult song, while Hong Ji-yoon sang enthusiastically with a voice completely different from that of trot, and Cha Ji-yeon with a charismatic force. Under the praise of the original singer Jeong Su-rao, "It was more than expected," Cha Ji-yeon received 158 points, narrowly beating Hong Ji-yoon, who received 142 points, to win.
Teenage power Bin Ye-seo and Lee Soo-yeon wore black and pink outfits, making them look forward to a super big match. The two chose Jung Soo-ra's "Joy" to give a powerful and unconventional stage that cannot be trusted by traditional trot prodigies. Jung Soo-ra, the original artist, stood up and applauded, and even Shin Dong-yup praised it, saying, "It was a great stage." Lee Soo-yeon scored 210 points and Bin Ye-seo scored 90, which shocked the audience by showing a bigger difference than expected.
Kim Joo-i and Solji are the world Guinness World Records recorders and the strongest players on the music charts, signaling a competition between national treasure record holders. The two perfectly embodied Joo Hyun-mi's "Tears of a Woman" with different tones of charm, and the original artist Joo Hyun-mi admired, "I enjoyed the stage." Solji, with 219 points, came in second with 249 points as a benefit from the legendary witch team.
Jang Tae-hee and Stephanie appeared in hot costumes with side slits, expecting the performance of the strongest beauties. The two completed Ha Chun-hwa's "I Loved You" with a unique performance and comic performance that maximized sexiness. Especially, Stephanie showed the amount of practice and passion for trot with her flexible bending. The original artist Ha Chun-hwa praised him, saying, "He did much better than I sang," and Stephanie won with 184 points.
Kim Tae-yeon and Soyou-mi, who drew attention with their strange combination of confrontation, competed with Ha Chun-hwa's "Innocent," while Kim Tae-yeon sang emotionally with the fierce spirit of a baby tiger, and Soyou-mi showed off her unexpected power singing skills with a soft voice. Kim Tae-yeon scored 199 points and Soyou-mi scored 101 points, and Kim Tae-yeon won.
After the fierce first round of the third round of the finals, "Witch Hunt 2" ended, the second round of the third round of the finals, which will determine the direct advance to the semifinals, began immediately. The "Salja War," which means that you must be in the top eight unconditionally, was given 900 points, three times the total score in the first round, raising hope for lower-ranked active players.
Kim Tae-yeon, ranked sixth in the middle rankings as the first runner of the "Salja War," took the stage nervous, saying, "I'm scared because I can be eliminated if I do it wrong." Kim Tae-yeon led a highly immersive stage by singing "The Way to You" with unrivaled sensibility and said, "How can you sing like this? I'm proud of you." Kim Tae-yeon, who was praised, shed tears and cheered after scoring a high score of 424 out of 450 on the celebrity judging panel.
Solji caught the eye by transforming into a fascinating hot pink style. Solji chose "The Ugly Man" and announced her ambitious challenge, saying, "I studied while thinking about what a trot was." The masters praised Solji's exciting stage, which opened by saying, "I'm a rookie singer, Oh Sol." Solji received 418 points from Yoon Myung-sun for "It was really cool" and Lynn for "I think it will be a precious page in Solji's life."
Bin Ye-seo, the strongest candidate for the championship, who is the most checked by active players, showed a strong sense of tension even as he practiced repeatedly to make up for the ranking, which was ranked 14th. Bin Ye-seo, who went on stage, selected "Until My Hometown" and burst into a thrilling break and excellent emotional line like an authentic trot genius, but managed to finish the stage without continuing the song due to tears that burst during the second verse. Bin Ye-seo, who said, "I'm sorry" and asked for forgiveness for the tears of burden, said from Ha Chun-hwa, "There are endless opportunities. Although he was encouraged that "It is the fate of a singer to overcome," the masters gave Bin Yeseo 292 points in agony.
While Bin Ye-seo, who came down from the stage, expressed the crisis of release, saying, "I think I'm going to fall," the expectations were amplified as the active players' blood-splitting second-round "sell war" was predicted to settle in the top eight of the direct tickets for the semifinals by keeping the ranking and overturning the tables.
