Singer Shin Seung-tae achieved a sweep of 'Immortal Songs'.

In the first part of the KBS 2TV 'Immortal Songs' National Trot Grand Festival special broadcast on the 29th, Shin Seung-tae, competing as Kang Won-do (CEO), selected the Gangwon-do folk song 'Han O-baek-nyeon', delivering a performance infused with the colors of his hometown to defeat competitors one after another and claim the honor of victory.

Taking the stage in the second slot that day, Shin Seung-tae greeted others from the waiting room using a Gangwon-do dialect, revealing his unique regional love. As an ambassador for Sokcho for six years, Shin Seung-tae also expressed pride in appearing as Ko Hyang (CEO), stating, "It seems I am the only entertainer from Sokcho."

He then revealed his distinct determination regarding 'Han O-baek-nyeon', which he prepared: "Senior Jin-sung won by singing 'Han O-baek-nyeon', but since it is a song of Gangwon-do, I will perform it while staking my hometown's pride."

Shin Seung-tae began the song with an emotional and pleading tone, instantly capturing the audience's attention. Moving freely from deep emotion to explosive vocal power, he immersed himself in the song, filling the stage with his characteristic rich voice, while the audience watched spellbound. Displaying the versatility of a 'master singer who transcends genres' without reservation, he completed the Gangwon-do folk song 'Han O-baek-nyeon' with his own unique color.

After the performance, high praise from the cast continued. Yang Ji-eun exclaimed, "I watched spellbound. Can I really listen to this?" while Kim Yong-bin commented, "It felt like watching a musical." Shin Sung also praised him highly, saying, "When he performs, it seems as if he is possessed," highly evaluating Shin Seung-tae's immersive performance and commanding presence.

Notably, in a pre-interview, Shin Seung-tae revealed that he wanted to avoid the matchup with Taeyeon and Jin-sung the most, but in the actual competition, he earned recognition from Jin-sung as well and secured victory. He then went on to defeat Park Hyun-bin and Yoo Ji-yu, Kim Yong-bin, and Yoon Soo-hyun and Shin Jang-mi in succession, recording four wins. Ultimately, Shin Seung-tae defeated all competitors to achieve a four-win sweep, becoming the winner of the first part of the 'National Trot Grand Festival' and once again proving his potential as the 'Trot Wild Horse'.
