SBS's massive audition project "Our Ballad 2" will premiere on October 5.

On the 7th, SBS announced that the new season of its massive audition project "Our Ballad 2" has been confirmed to air for the first time next month on the 5th.

"Our Ballad 2" has drawn attention by releasing a poster featuring eight Top Back representatives who have come together to discover raw talent with an average age as young as 17.9 years.

The released poster includes Top Back representatives Jeon Hyun-moo, Jung Jae-hyung, Cha Taehyun, Park Kyung-rim, Moon Geun-young, Ju Woo-jae, Roy Kim, and Jung Seung-hwan. Notably, the newly joined members for this season—Moon Geun-young, Ju Woo-jae, and Roy Kim—are drawing particular attention. As the first actress to serve as a Top Back representative and appearing in a variety show for the first time in seven years, Moon Geun-young is a fan who has participated in every survival audition program broadcast in South Korea. Now seated at the audition site as a Top Back representative rather than just an avid home viewer, it remains to be seen what stories she will share.

Model and broadcaster Ju Woo-jae, known for expressing deep appreciation and sincerity toward music, will unleash these qualities fully on "Our Ballad 2," revealing a unique side of himself. Roy Kim, who debuted after winning a music audition at age 20, will alternate between displaying the serious demeanor of a senior musician and a playful personality, showcasing his original wit.

"Our Ballad 2" has seen applicant numbers surge by approximately three times compared to Season 1, featuring contestants with an average age of just 17.9 years—significantly younger than last season. Their performances, filled with individuality and emotion, are expected to move viewers. Additionally, overseas participants who grew up abroad but retain Korean roots will present fresh interpretations that bring novelty and impact.

During the broadcast of Season 1, the program announced "The Top 100 Ballads Loved by Koreans" and introduced legendary songs remembered by all each episode. In this season, songs by legendary singers that were not featured in Season 1—leaving viewers disappointed—are set to appear in large numbers. Particularly through a diverse selection of songs spanning from 1985 to 2025, covering an impressive 40-year span, the program will re-examine hidden gems within over four decades of popular music history.
