Kim Ki-tae overtook Ahn Sung-hoon and recaptured the throne again, heating up the heat toward the "first place" final.
In the MBC entertainment program "First Place," which aired on the night of the 12th, the strongest players continued to perform to determine a single finalist.

On the previous stage, Ahn Sung-hoon ranked first in real time by devastating the audience with Na Hoon-ah's "Teshyeong." SG Wannabe Kim Yong-joon praised him, saying, "He showed his specialty, trot, so cool," and last week, even No. 1 Huh Gak was overwhelming enough to admit, "I saw the possibility of a reversal."
But the rankings fluctuated again. Park Ji-min showed a performance that completely recovered his previous skills with "Tonight". Lee Ye-ji, who watched this, shed tears, saying, "I think I've regained my old skills."

It was Kim Ki-tae's "In Dreams" (original song by Park Jung-hyun) that marked the grand finale. When Kim Ki-tae's unique husky voice wrapped around the stage, the scene froze. Baek Ji-young gave sincere support, saying, "I'm sure you have a lot of worries because it's Takseong, but I hope you overcome the hardship well."
In the end, Kim Ki-tae defeated Ahn Sung-hoon and regained the top spot in real time, once again.
