The 2nd round of the 3rd match continues following last week. Unlike the 1st round, the 2nd round is showing a different aspect. This may be why we expect a sudden change in the ranking. Who will be today's semi-finalists? Let's start our review of the 8th episode of "King of Active Singer".
Including spoilers!
Round 2
Kim Yang
Kim Yang, who currently ranks first in the middle of the first round, chose Patti Kim's 'Love is Forever'. It was a huge song that felt her years. To most people, this song was stable, simple, but very luxurious.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
However, celebrity judges criticized her singing as boring as if she was reading a book. With a score of 195, Kim Yang received a score as harsh as the harsh evaluation from celebrity judges.
Kim Sanha
Kim San-ha, who chose Lee Sun-hee's 'Relationship', performed with strong support. It was her three sisters. To cheer for her, the oldest of the four sisters, the sisters created a stage filled with Gayageum, Daegeum, and amazing harmonies.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
Although Kim Sanha chose a somewhat risky song, she was evaluated as looking very happy as it was a stage that not everyone can perform and that she performed with her family. Received 233 points from the celebrity judges.
Yoo Minji
Yoo Min-ji, who ranked 14th in the first round, selected Do-seong's 'Traitor'. Like Little Joo Hyun-mi, it seems to have imitated Joo Hyun-mi's recent YouTube performance. Yu Min-ji's song, sung solely by guitar and accordion accompaniment rather than her complete full sound, really stood out for its simple, calm and beautiful tone.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
Regarding Yu Min-ji's performance, there were mixed reviews, with some saying that although it may have been a somewhat risky challenge, she sang it very well, and others saying that it would have been better if her own personality had been revealed a little more, rather than the original singer's style. And She got 217 points.
Ryu Wonjeong
Ryu Won-jeong, who has strong mid-to-low tones, chose Yoo Ji-sung's 'Far Away Hometown'. She was eighth in the first round, and she has to keep her ranking in this round to advance to the next round. With her unique smooth and stable mid-low voice and powerful high notes, her clean singing really stood out.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
Unlike Master Seol Woon-do's evaluation that it was a clean and perfect song, Master Joo Hyun-mi's evaluation was mixed, saying that it was a very stable and comfortable song without charming, and Ryu Won-jeong received a disappointing score of 191 points.
Doori
Doori, who ranked 17th in the first round and was on the verge of elimination, selected Kim Yeon-ja's 'Bling Bling'. This stage was expected to feature a spectacular performance, which was her main weapon, and it was just that. Following the last aerial stair performance, this time there were mid-air lying down and mid-air flying kick performances.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
Through the first round, Doori seemed to have been hurt as much by the evaluation panel's cold scores as Da-Hyun Kim. Regarding her stage, which she risked her life and death to prepare, the evaluation team gave her a high score of 237 points, along with rave reviews, saying that it was the best stage where her singing skills and performance stood out like a stage master.
LYn
LYn, who appeared on stage with the appearance of a goddess, tied for 10th place in the first round, and it is unclear whether she will advance to the next round. She must write a drama with a twist. LYn sharpened her sword and prepared for this round, and she selected Lee Mi-ja's 'Three Hundred Li of Hallyeosudo'. Her sharp nasal voice, melting away her unique sorrow, completely captivated her listeners.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
As soon as the song ended, the celebrities and the audience evaluation group all screamed in exclamation and there was an uproar. It's so comfortable... and luxurious... what else can there be? It was a song that left me speechless.
She received rave reviews from critics who said that LYn's singing style will likely become popular in the future and that another trot lineage will be created following Lee Mi-ja and Ha Chun-hwa. LYn received 261 points and tied for first place in the second round with Kim Dahyun.
ByeolSarang
ByeolSarang, ranked 9th in the first round, selected Lee Eun-ha's 'Winter Rose'. ByeolSarang, who has always performed stably on stage with a veteran-like dexterity, has received disappointing reviews that say her freshness is lacking.
In this song, she said that she wanted to show her true feelings without getting rid of all her bad skills and bad habits. She has good emotions and good voice. I think it was a perfect match for her, harmonizing her wishes so well.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
It was a performance so good that exclamations poured out from all over the place. ByeolSarang, which received the highest praise for being a perfect performance worthy of active duty, received 244 points from the evaluation team and settled in the top class in the second round.
Yoon Soohyun
Yoon Soo-hyun, who took second place in the first round, selected Kim Yong-im's 'Sarangnim'. It was a song that seemed to be sung by Kim Yong-im, and suited Yoon Soo-hyun's tone so well. Yoon Soo-hyun's performance this time was a bright one, not as nervous as before. The humorous comic performances inserted between songs also stood out.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
The judges' evaluations were mixed, saying, "It's too similar to the original song, so it's not attractive", and "It seemed like an imitation of Kim Yong-im, but it was a distinctly different song". It appears that it will maintain a somewhat stable ranking with 218 points.
Shin Mirea
Shin Mirae selected Kim Jang-mi's 'Sloppy College Student', a classic song from 1939. In her last round, judges requested her to look different. But her choice was invariably the gramophone voice. This was because she thought that the tone would go best with her 1930s song that she had prepared.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
However, the judges' reaction was cold. In addition, the judges' reviews of her were harsh for not attempting her various transformations. Shin Mirae, who had a somewhat stable ranking of 5th place in the first round, suddenly received the lowest score in the second round with 171 points.
Jo Jung-min
Jo Jung-min, who came in 4th place in the first round, selected Jang Yun-jeong's 'Heart is burn'. When the title was revealed, everyone was puzzled by the song selection, which was different from Jo Jung-min's usual style. However, everyone's concerns were put to rest for a moment, as a stage was created that showed off the colors of Jo Jung-min, a classical music major.
A beautiful cello performance, an arrangement that goes between tango and ballad, and even a sexy performance. It was a stage where Jo Jung-min's own genre was perfectly born .
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
Jo Jung-min, who received rave reviews for a performance that showcased his deepened musicality after overcoming the crisis of life and death, received 221 points from the celebrity judges . It has become somewhat advantageous to settle in the top ranks.
Jeon Yujin
Jeon Yu-jin, who is firmly maintaining the No. 1 position in the public cheering vote, is in danger of advancing to the next round as 12th place in the first round. Choosing Jang Deok's 'Girl and Streetlamp', she calmly continued singing in a modest school uniform.
A deep emotion and appeal reminiscent of the 80s, and even acting that goes well with the song. It was a stage where the three beats were perfectly harmonized.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
Jeon Yu-jin, who received rave reviews from Master Joo Hyun-mi, who said her voice was as beautiful as an instrument, received 252 points from the celebrity judges . This is the second highest score in round 2.
Hi Ryang
Hi Ryang, who selected Cho Yong-pil's 'Come Back to Busan Port', presented a sexy version in the beginning with an attractive voice, and a dance version from middle. It was a very exciting performance, almost like watching an event performance.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
Hi Ryang was ranked 13th in the first round, so he must receive a high score in this round. In fact, she said her condition continued to be bad after the first round as she suffered from a high fever. Nonetheless, she put on her best performance. However she received 225 points from the celebrity judges, so it seems like her advancement to the next round is in jeopardy.
Yoyomi
Yoyomi wanted to break people's stereotype that a quiet song would not suit her in this round. To prove this, she chose Shim Soo-bong's 'Binari'. She performed a serious and dance-free performance for the first time since she became King of Active Singers. She performed as seriously and emotionally as she had hoped. She performed very well with exciting and sexy performances, but she also performed very well with emotional songs.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
Although Yoyomi's unique sensibility and singing skills, which could not be felt in bright and cheerful songs, were well received through this song, she received a rather low score of 215 points from the evaluation panel.
Final ranking
In this way, rounds 1 and 2 of Game 3 have ended. Now all that's left is to reveal the scores from the audience evaluation panel. The top 9 are confirmed to advance to the next round, and all others are candidates for elimination. Below are the score rankings for rounds 1 and 2 that have been released so far . Park Hye-shin beat Kim Yang to take first place, and Yoon Soo-hyun still maintains second place.
The audience scores have finally been revealed. As a result, Da-Hyeon Kim, who had the highest score in the second round , ended up in 11th place , and Yoo-Jin Jeon, who had the next highest score, was pushed down to 10th place with a 5-point difference from San-Ha Kim and became a candidate for leaving out. And Kang Hye-yeon, who had maintained her top class in popularity votes, was pushed down to 17th place.
Maria, who received a disappointing score in the second round, fortunately managed to advance to the next round, staying in eighth place. In the final result of the third round, Park Hye-shin took the first place.
Repechage
Now, the cruel Repechage of the candidates for leaving out will take place. Just like the first round, Repechage will be held in groups of three, in the form of a death match. Three singers will share sing designated one song.
And in the repechage, only one person from each group, a total of three people, can survive through voting. Another important point is that the decision to become a survivor depends solely on the audience's choice. In other words, the celebrity evaluation panel cannot participate in this voting.
The designated song was released on site. Joo Hyun-mi's 'You Going Back to Memories', Kim Yeon-ja's ' Mercury Lantern', and Jin Sung's 'At Andong Station' were released. Starting from the 10th place, only three members can participate in a song.
In this way, all the groups were completed, and the candidates for release began to practice. But they were given only 30 minutes of practice time. The staff at the broadcasting station were too vicious. Even though they didn't have time, they practiced hard, agonizing over each other's parts and harmony.
First team
Kim Da-hyun, Kang Hye-yeon, and Hi Ryang chose 'At Andong Station'. After the song was over, the results of the evaluation team's vote were released. Kim Da-hyun, who got 70 votes out of 180 votes, will advance to the semifinals. I think it will be a disappointing performance for Hi Ryang, who lost narrowly with 65 votes.
Second team
The second team that chose 'Mercury Lantern' was Duri, Ryu Won-jeong, and Shin Mirae . Who will advance to the semifinals from this team?
76 out of 180 votes ! The audience's choice was Doori, not Ryu Won-jeong and Shin Mirae. This is how Doori advances to the semifinals.
Third team
The third team that selected 'You Go to Memories' is Jeon Yu-jin, Yoo Min-ji, and Yoyomi. Yoo Min-ji and Yoyomi with an attractive voice both performed well, but the match was somewhat expected.
91 votes! As expected, Jeon Yu-jin received overwhelming votes and succeeded in advancing to the semi-finals. And I thought this was the end of all competitions.
Additional successful candidate
Although 12 semi-finalists have been confirmed, MC Shin Dong-yeop makes an important announcement that it is not over yet. The shocking news is that the number of people who will advance to the semifinals will be 14 instead of 12.
The additional successful candidate will be selected through the celebrity evaluation team's own meeting, which will include two people who are unfortunate to be eliminated, not only in today's third round of the contest but also considering all contests so far.
So who will be the final lucky singer? It is the moment when a ray of wind blows over the dying embers.
The lucky singers were Kang Hye-yeon and Ryu Won-jeong. And just like that, the 14 semi-finalists have indeed been confirmed. Additionally, four emitters were also decided.
Status of public support voting
According to the results of the 6th week of public support voting, Jeon Yu-jin is still in first place. Shin Mirae, who was in the rankings, was eliminated, so someone will take her place next week. I hope that person is the singer you are rooting for.
