"Monster Vocal" Son Seung-yeon won first place in the first match of "First place".

MBC's Audition Finishing Game, which aired on the night of the 15th, dominated the small screen by presenting a bloody throne retaking play from the first episode to Huh Gak, Lee Ye-ji, and Son Seung-yeon.

Viewers responded to the unprecedented singing competition between the first place winners. According to Nielsen Korea on the 16th, the first episode of "First Place" proved its strong presence with a 4.4% national rating. In particular, the confrontation between "Monster Vocal" Son Seung-yeon and new Shin Sung Lee Ye-ji in 2025 was truly the greatest drama ever, who shocked the music industry by winning "Voice Korea" 13 years ago.

In "First Place," nine audition winners representing broadcasters such as "Superstar K," "Our Ballad," "Great Birth," "Voice Korea," "Tomorrow's National Singer," and "K-Pop Star" were held. The narrative of the competition was opened by Heo Gak, the first generation of auditions, shaken by Lee Ye-ji, a "scary newcomer," and Son Seung-yeon, a "monster vocalist," ended.

The first protagonist to appear on the stage of "First Place" was Heo Gak, the first-place winner of "Superstar K2" at the beginning of the Korean audition craze. He sang the winning song "Always" 16 years ago and showed off his luxury vocals that were overshadowed by the years. Panelist Huh Sung-tae shed tears, saying, "I always listened to this song when I was working and working out, losing 95kg to 75kg," and Huh Gak became the first owner of the Gold Line, which symbolizes the first place, showing off his dignity as the "first generation of auditions."

However, Huh Gak's rule was blocked by Lee Ye-ji, the winner of "Our Ballad." Lee Ye-ji, the "Audition New Bird" armed with spirit, captivated the audience with her unrivaled sensibility and raw charm. Lee Ye-ji's gust was so strong that "Audition Mania" MC Lee Min-jung burst into a storm from the first verse, and she defeated Heo Gak as well as prominent seniors such as Park Chang-geun, Lee Ye-joon and Ulala Session in succession, setting a record of eight consecutive wins.

At the end of Lee Ye-ji's perfect victory, the game turned upside down with the appearance of Son Seung-yeon, the winner of "Voice Korea," the main character most checked by the first-place singers. Son Seung-yeon, who chose "Coloring", dominated the stage with her overwhelming voice and momentum. Baek Ji-young praised it, saying, "It's crazy because it's not perfect," and even Lee Ye-ji, who had won eight consecutive games, could not hide her tension, saying, "It's a scary resonance." In the end, Son Seung-yeon took the first place in the final vote, defeating the momentum of the rookie who was rushing up and preventing the change of the vocal generation.

The panelists' reaction on this day proved the level of the stage. Heo Sung-tae said, "I couldn't even go to the bathroom for four and a half hours and kept my seat. He was impressed, saying, "I feel like I'm in a bad mood today," and Kim Chae-won (Leseraphim) said, "I feel like my ears are pierced to the point where I have to pay to see it."

Son Seung-yeon, who won the final first place in the first inning, left a relaxed impression, saying, "I showed you with restraint today," and Lee Ye-ji, who was unfortunately pushed to second place, said, "I will beat you."

The First Place airs every Sunday night at 9:10 p.m.
