Song Ji-woo, "Our Ballad," won the hearts of viewers with his unrivaled tone.

SBS's first ballad audition program "Our Ballad," which ended in December last year, left a deep lingering impression by reinterpreting masterpieces that encompass generations with the sincere voices of participants aged 18.2 years on average.

Song Ji-woo overcame stage fright on a big stage that he had never stood on in his life and caught viewers' ears with his own tone. In the girl who sang only on YouTube, Song Ji-woo's presence, who filled the stage with a dreamy tone, remained a special moment in "Our Ballad."

Song Ji-woo, who had been singing only on YouTube due to stage fright, went on stage in the first round of the finals and said, "I couldn't stand on stage because I was always nervous, but I came out with courage." The broadcast showed his nervousness while looking around in the preliminary trial, drawing support from viewers.

The first song chosen by Song Ji-woo is Lee Eun-ha's "Like That Who Spent Me With His Smile". As soon as the first verse rang out, the clear and mysterious tone captivated the scene at once, and even before the first verse was over, he passed 100 votes to confirm his acceptance. Unlike his shy attitude, Song Ji-woo's immersion, which changes completely when the song begins, left a strong impression, and received 143 out of 150 votes, earning a score close to unanimous.

Song Ji-woo's biggest weapon is his dreamy tone, which is not easily forgotten once heard. The clear and airy vocals naturally permeate the song and convincingly convey emotions without fancy techniques. This is also the reason why Song Ji-woo's stage is comfortable every round, but it leaves a deep resonance.

Song Ji-woo, who selected Jannabi's "For Lovers Who Curse" with Lim Ji-sung in the third round to capture the fresh emotions of youth, recalled his cat "Yeoreum" in the semi-final and performed "Only You" by Lee Chi-hyun and his friends. His choice to interpret the song from the cat's gaze was a unique approach, and the dreamy tone added convincing power to the setting, naturally attracting listeners' emotions.

Song Ji-woo tells the story only by tone and breathing rather than by making big gestures or exaggerated emotional expressions. His song, which started quietly and permeated deep into his heart, became a stage that will be remembered for a long time even after "Our Ballad" ended.

Q. How do you feel about finishing the competition in 6th place for "Our Ballad"?

A. There was more time left for the process than the result. I think it's a really meaningful result that I was able to sing and come down to the end because the stage felt scary. I learned a lot and I wanted to grow more.

Q. What was the most memorable moment from "Our Ballad" and why?

A. The semi-final "Only You" performance was the most memorable. It's a moment when I felt like 'I want to convey' rather than 'I need to sing well', so I have a long time left.

Q. How did you overcome your stage phobia to challenge "Our Ballad" and what did you think before you went on stage for the first time?

A. If I kept avoiding the stage because it was scary, I thought I would be far from my favorite song. Before I went on stage for the first time, I thought more about "let's not run away" than "let's do well."

Q. Many people say you have a mysterious tone, so how do you want to define your voice?

A. I don't think it's special, but I think it's a voice that's honest about emotions. Rather than decorating it, I hope it's a voice that can be accepted by the listeners with their own feelings.

Q. What is the difference between today's stage and the days when you sang only on YouTube, and what did you gain from your "Our Ballad" journey?

A. I learned that YouTube is a place where you can share your feelings with someone if you're alone. I learned from "Our Ballad" that a song can be sung alone but completed together.

Q. What color of Song Jiwoo's music do you want to show in the future, and what are your goals?

A. I want to do quiet but long-lasting music. It's a song that comes to mind even when it passes by at first. My goal is to become a singer who consistently sings songs that tell my story with my voice.

Q. Please say something to the viewers and fans who supported us.

A. Thank you so much for listening to my song and walking with me. Thanks to your support, I was able to take another step up. I'll continue to sing slowly, but with all my heart. Please keep your eyes on us!
