'2026 Korea-Japan King of Singers' is set to air its final episode on the 12th, drawing attention to who will claim the ultimate victory.
In the fourth episode of MBN's '2026 Korea-Japan King of Singers,' Korean and Japanese active singers engaged in a fierce battle. With only the 120th points from the Korean and Japanese celebrity judges revealed, South Korea led Japan 4-3. This has sparked interest in the 240th points from the unrevealed Korean and Japanese public judges.
According to the production team, the fifth and final episode airing on the 12th (Tuesday) will feature the last round of the main tournament, the third match, where the remaining active singers from both nations will compete to decide the final winner, filling the venue with tension.
In particular, a source stated that during the competition, another tie between Korea and Japan was created, delivering a shock. The back-and-forth battle was so intense that the celebrity judges unanimously exclaimed, "Even a novel wouldn't be written like this."
A stage of historic proportions, which can only be seen in the 'Korea-Japan King of Singers,' also made its appearance. Immediately after the performances by the active singers, MC Shin Dong-yup remarked, "Both of them are incredibly admirable. I believe their song selections were filled with respect for the opposing country."
The production team also announced that Japanese King of Singers Yuta had a standout performance with his tireless wit. Watching an active singer's performance, Yuta stood up abruptly, applauded repeatedly, and said, "It was an overwhelming stage worthy of the climax."
The production team stated, "In the final episode airing on the 12th, the country of the ultimate victory in '2026 Korea-Japan King of Singers' will be decided. Will South Korea write a legend of three consecutive undefeated titles in 2026, following 2024 and 2025, or will Japan avenge its two years of defeat and claim victory? Please stay tuned until the end."
Meanwhile, MBN's '2026 Korea-Japan King of Singers' is a music program where the TOP 7 from 'Active King of Singers - Gahui (Japan Edition),' produced directly at CreA Studio, compete against the TOP 7 from South Korea's 'Active King of Singers 3.'
