Singer Kang Hye-yeon ranked 5th in the final ranking of "The King of Strings 3."
In MBN's "The King of Strings 3," which aired on the 10th, the final final match was held between TOP9 to become the top 7 of the national team to participate in the 2026 Korea-Japan match with the top 3 "The King of Strings".
The "Actual Singer 3" is a survival music entertainment show for national team selection, in which top tier active singers in each genre fight fiercely for the Taegeuk mark. With Hong Ji-yoon, Cha Ji-yeon, Koo Soo-kyung, Solji Kim Tae-yeon, Kang Hye-yeon, Lee Soo-yeon, Hong Ja-yeon, and Geum Jan-di, the real-time text voting was held live, with 1,200 points, or 30% of the total 4,000 points in the final. Minors Lee Soo-yeon and Kim Tae-yeon were absent from the live broadcast.
The middle ranking results, which combined the field scores of the first and second finals, the public support vote, and the score of new songs, were Hong Ji-yoon, Cha Ji-yeon, Solji, Koo Soo-kyung, Kim Tae-yeon, Kang Hye-yeon, Hongja, and Geum Jandi in order.
The final ranking, which adds up to the number of real-time text votes, was then announced, and MC Shin Dong-yeop said before the announcement of the eighth place, "It would be so sad if I could not make the TOP7 and became eighth by a single rank difference. Kang Hye-yeon, who ranked 8th in the last "Actual Singer", tried once again, and I wonder if the challenge will be successful."
Kang Hye-yeon was listed in the final 5th place of the "Actual Singer 3," and shed tears of joy as soon as the name was called. Shin Dong-yup said, "It's amazing. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. I know Kang Hye-yeon's challenge was not easy, so Hong-ja and Geum Jan-di are also congratulating her," he said.
