Last week, in the first round of the third match, Kim Dahyun and Yoyomi lost to Kim Yang and Park Hyesin by a large score difference in a one-on-one match. This week too, there will be a spectacular game where you never know what's ahead. Are you ready to be surprised by an unexpected twist? So, let’s start the review of the 7th season of the King of Active Singers.
Including spoilers
Round 1
Doori vs Yoon Soo-hyun
Doo-ri, who is showing off her various charms as the rounds go by, and Yoon Soo-hyun, who boasts the formidable skills of an active veteran, faced off. The song that the two participants will share is ‘Lee Mi-ja’s Other’. The powerful performance highlighted the transformation of Doo-ri, whose main weapon was bright singing. However, unfortunately, Doo-ri ended up making a mistake in the lyrics.

If Doo-ri's skills were overwhelming compared to Yoon Soo-hyun's, she could have overlooked the lyrics mistakes like Rin did in the last 3 broadcasts, but since that wasn't the case, Doo-ri's lyrics mistakes became the key to victory or defeat. Not a single member of the celebrity evaluation panel gave a vote to Doori. In the end, Soo-Hyun Yoon wins with an overwhelming score difference of 86 vs 272.
Maria vs Hi Ryang
Maria and Hi Ryang, who selected 'Han Hye-jin's You Are My Guy', surprised the audience and judges with a variety of stage compositions and arrangements that mixed singing, rapping, intense dancing, and live DJing. We even brought in ‘Chunja’ as a special guest . Chunja's live DJing was added to create an even more colorful stage.

The judges were also distracted by the colorful stage composition. They couldn't figure out what genre it was. Compared to Maria's clean and refreshing vocals, the evaluation panel pointed out Hi Ryang's vocals, which she had only sung in poor acoustics since she was a child.
As most of the celebrity judges chose Maria, a major reversal occurred in which Maria won with an overwhelming score difference of 245 vs 115.
Shin Mirae vs Yoo Min-ji
This competition is a battle between the powerhouse of classical music and the powerhouse of traditional trot. Shin Mirae and Yoo Min-ji, who selected 'Lee Hae-ri's Jagalchi Ajimae', performed on stage with a comical story, like a musical play. They gave and took back from each other, showing such perfect chemistry that it was impossible to predict the winner.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
However, I think this song suited Shin Mi-rae's tone very well. It was a somewhat unfavorable selection of music to showcase Yu Min-ji's striking bending singing style. Shin Mirae wins with an unexpectedly large score difference of 247 vs 113.
LYn vs Ryu Wonjeong
This competition was chosen by LYn, who won the MVP award in sceond match of the last. With zero years of trot experience, she dared to challenge the traditional powerhouse. The song the two will compete with was "Joo Hyun-mi's Love Letter". Unlike the early days, LYn, who even dances and sings, seems to have perfectly adapted to trot. Their exquisite singing skills, as befits the vocal goddesses, were second to none. What was the result?
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
I think they both did very well, but experts had different ears. The evaluation team continued its disappointing evaluation, saying, "LYn needs to control her emotions a little, and Ryu Won-jeong doesn't feel any distinctive high notes". In the end, Ryu Won-jeong won 166 to 194.
Kang Hyeyeon vs Jo Jungmin
The two participants are said to be close friends who have developed a friendship for over 10 years. Kang Hye-yeon and Jo Jung-min, who wanted to advance to the next round together by splitting the scores half and half, chose 'Kim Chu-ja's Woman in the Rain'. They showed good chemistry with Jas-style arrangements.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
But has our consideration for each other become toxic? Although they did their best in both dancing and singing, the performance was evaluated as being vaguely unattractive. Still, I think it was more advantageous for Jo Jung-min because it was in a jazz style. 108 vs 250, Jo Jung-min wins.
Jeon Yu-jin vs. Ma Ijin
It is a battle between Jeon Yu-jin, who is unwaveringly ranked first in the popularity polls, and Ma IJin, who has been on a formidable upward trend, and are truly strong contenders for the championship. The two people who selected 'Kim Soo-hee's Lost Jeong' performed the song with a heartbreaking sensibility and chemistry. On this stage, Ma Ijin, without her strong performance and boyish style, transformed into an emotional craftsman with sad eyes. It was also her stage that suited her so well.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
So, what was the result? They were highly praised for being a fantastic combination. And the judges couldn't help but agonize over their neck-and-neck skills. It was well received enough to think that the scores would be similar.
However, something unexpected happened. With a 130 vs 230, the celebrities and the majority of the audience gave Ma Ijin points, creating an amazing situation to defeat the strong favorite, Jeon Yu-jin.
Kim Sanha vs ByeolSarag
Kim San-ha and ByeolSarang, who selected "Kim Sang-bae’s I Can’t Leave you", performed a fantastic song accompanied by a sexy dance. It was a stage where it was difficult to predict who would win because they had good chemistry and good singing. Their voices and styles were so clearly different that it seemed like the winner would be decided by the listener's taste.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
However, ByeolSarang narrowly beat Kim San-ha, who was evaluated as having a fast tempo but lacked rhythm, 166 to 191. The result of the vote was that the celebrity evaluation team giving more points Kim San-ha, and giving more points to the audience evaluation team ByeolSarang.
The first round ended like this, and as a result, Dahyun Kim ranked last as shown below. The score difference between 1st place Kim Yang and 18th place Kim Dahyun is 195 points, and the 9th place Byeolsarang is 109 points away, so it seems difficult to overturn it easily.
Round 2
Round 2 is a flipping! In this round, they give enough points to completely reverse the first-round standings. Celebrities can give 30 points instead of a maximum of 20 points per person, and audience scores are applied with two points instead of one per person. So, the total score is also raised from 360 points to 630. Since it is almost twice as high as the first round and is a solo performance, if they receive high scores in this round, they can flip the standings even if they are the last ones.
Maria
Maria’s song selection is ‘Song Ga-in’s Mom Arirang’. Since it is a traditional Korean-style song, it must have been a new challenge for Maria. However, it was a stage where all I could say was that she was amazing. The newly attempted traditional Korean-style song was perfect, and it was a stage where tremendous effort shone through, with fast-paced lyrics and pronunciation as well as sorrowful emotions.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
The celebrity evaluation panel also admired Maria's singing, asking if she was realy American, but on the other hand, they gave her a relatively low score of 192 points. It is said that the audience evaluation panel's scores will be revealed after all stages are over, so it seems we will have to wait a little longer to see whether they will advance to the next round.
Ma Ijin
On this stage, Ma Ijin was especially nervous unlike before. She was often suspected of being a man because she did not wear a skirt and looked like a boy. However, she was afraid to wear a skirt because she had to sing on stage at a night shop where she was very hand touched.
It is said that she started wearing pants because she wanted to be recognized as a singer who can sing well rather than a female singer who wears a skirt. With Ma Ijin's mournful sensibility and style, she sang "Na Hoon-ah's Daedong River Letter" neatly and coolly.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
However, the celebrity evaluation team will receive 207 points, with criticism that the high notes in the second verse sounded rather difficult, along with the lack of tone control.
Park Hye-sin
Park Hye-sin, who selected 'Kim Ran-young's Gain', said that due to her decades of experience performing on outdoor event stages with poor acoustics, she has always used strong vocalization to convey the lyrics. That's why she said she had no choice but to worry a lot about the way she sang on stage.
Is that why? The song's sorrowful emotions are perfectly integrated with the control of the tone, making it impossible for the listener to become immersed in the song. I think it was a perfect stage for emotional expression and even singing ability.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
After the performance ended, the celebrity evaluation team responded with a standing ovation. Legendary singer Nam Jin also gave high praise, saying it gave him goosebumps. In addition, Seolwoondo Legend also praised the show, saying that a new star will be born. He received a score of 249 from the celebrity evaluation panel and quickly jumped to first place in the second round. It is said that among the celebrity evaluation panel, there were 3 people who gave Park Hye-sin a perfect score of 30.
Kim Dahyun
It was an artistic expression of delicate emotions that are hard to believe at a 15-year-old age. It was the best song by far. It would be right to say that the song was sung like Kim Dahyun.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
Kim Dahyun, who lost to Kim Yang in the first round by a huge score difference, somehow ended up in last place in the first round. His emotional wounds must have been considerable, but he seems to have overcome them well. When composer Myeong-seon Yoon asked why his face was so pale and if he was not in good condition, Kim Da-hyun cautiously opened his mouth.
She said she was very hurt by the judges' harsh evaluations at the time and the cold scores that placed her in last place. She ended up crying loudly during the story because of the sorrow she had to endure at such a young age.She is an incredibly talented person that even adult singers cannot imitate, but she guess age can't be helped. lol..
However, she received a high score of 261 out of 270 from the celebrity evaluation panel , defeating Park Hye-sin and quickly rising to first place in the second round.
Kang Hyeyeon
Kang Hye-yeon, ranked 15th in the first round, also needs to receive a high score in this round. Kang Hye-yeon, who selected 'Na Hoon-a's 18-year-old Soon-i', presented her lively and refreshing retro style performance. She boldly took on the challenge of changing her style by cutting her long hair short for the fresh and innocent concept of this stage. Kang Hye-yeon's passion for the stage is great, as is her fight against her rib injury last week.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
Despite the positive reviews that said she was captivated by the lively stage and that it was the stage that best suited the reigning king of singers, Kang Hye-yeon received a somewhat disappointing score of 207 points from the celebrity evaluation panel.
Public support vote
The status of the public support vote for week 5 is as follows. Following Jeon Yu-jin, who is still in first place, Kang Hye-yeon has risen to second place this week with a formidable rise.
How about you? By any chance, is the singer you're rooting for not on the list or at the bottom? Even so, you shouldn't give up early. Looking at the results of this first round, Jeon Yu-jin, Kang Hye-yeon, and Kim Da-hyun, who are currently at the top of the cheering vote, could all be eliminated.
If you vote hard now, you can get a little closer to TOP7 and even become a winner when your singer makes it to the semi-finals. So, let's learn more about how to vote? Please refer to the article below for guidance on how to easily vote for the King of Active Singers.
