◆ New 'Hidden Singer 8' will compete with just one voice

"Hidden Singer" has been loved for a long time, captivating viewers with its high-quality stage every season and exciting reasoning to determine original singers and impersonators. Therefore, the new season is also receiving public expectations. Curiosity is stimulating what this season will look like.

Producer Shin Young-kwang said, "We focused on synchronization and impersonation, which are the essence of 'Hidden Singer', adding, "There are a lot of AI (artificial intelligence) sound sources these days, and they enjoy contents made using related technologies, but we are going to go back to the beginning and compete only with human voices."

◆ The presence of MC Jeon Hyunmoo who can't replace "Hidden Singer"

MC Jeon Hyun-moo has played a major role in delivering laughter and emotion by taking the center stage of the program from the pilot program in 2012 to the eighth season in 2026. Jeon Hyun-moo's performance, which controls the judges and viewers with more seasoned progress and witty performances over the course of the season, is also a point to watch.

Producer Shin Young-kwang praised Jeon Hyun-moo as an "irreplaceable MC" and said, "As the years went by, he was progressing with age. He expressed infinite trust, saying, "He is the most suitable person for MC of Hidden Singer because he is not just a light and fun host, but also a touch."

◆ The best line-up! From Shim Soo-bong to Lee Seung-gi, the original singers of all time

"Hidden Singer 8" is drawing explosive attention as Korea's leading singers, including Shim Soo-bong, Kim Jang-hoon, Kim Hyun-jung, Jeong In, Davichi Lee Hae-ri, Ha Hyun-woo, and 10CM, are together as original singers. Genres such as trot, dance, rock, indie, and R&B are also diverse, and rich performances will be held.

Producer Shin Young-kwang told the behind-the-scenes story of his efforts in the original singer lineup, saying, "I wanted to show various genres as it's been four years since I came back." In particular, "I sent a long letter with all my heart to recruit Shim Soo-bong, and he contacted me after reading the letter. He expressed his gratitude, saying, "He said he appeared because he thought that a producer with this sincerity would make it well."

The appearance of Lee Seung-gi and Yoon-ha is also a point to pay attention to. Producer Shin Young-kwang said, "It was a long-cherished project of 'Hidden Singer'. In fact, I have participated in Season 1 as a impersonator of Kim Gun-mo, and I have also performed supporting roles and main productions. No one understands the history of 'Hidden Singer' like me, he said. "Lee Seung-ki and Yoon-ha were people I really wanted to cast, but I'm personally proud to have them."

JTBC's "Hidden Singer 8," which will be the vitality of Tuesday night with such a colorful fun element, dopamine-bursting competition between original singers and impersonators, will premiere at 8:50 p.m. on the 31st.
