Despite the cold wave, people's passion for Trot is still hot. The popularity of King of Active Singers, who ignited the Trot craze this winter, continues to lead to record-breaking viewership ratings. Last week, it again recorded a viewership rating of over 15%. And today, the second round of the semifinals, will be held to determine the finalists.
Including spoilers
Now, shall we begin our review of the second round of the semifinals? Before that, let's take a quick look at the status of last week's Public Support Vote (P.S.V) .
Status of P.S.V
The results of the 8th week of the public support vote have been released. Jeon Yu-jin still maintains the undisputed first place. However, Kim Dahyun's ranking has been steadily falling since last week, as if the stock price has been falling.
Round 2
The rankings for the first round of the semifinals are as follows. Kang Hye-yeon and Park Hye-sin are tied for first place, and Kim San-ha and Kim Yang are tied for last place.
The second round of the semi-final is a hot new song by famous hit song composers, and contestants will compete. The interpretation and digestibility of the song are expected to be key to the new song competition. I'm looking forward to seeing how well they can sing the new song during the practice period, which is less than two weeks ago.
In order to strictly evaluate new songs, composers who created new songs for active singers also participated as special judges in today's competition.
As I mentioned last week, a high score of 910 points is at stake in the second round. That's a whopping 580 points more than the first round. And starting today, public support votes will also be reflected in the scores, so if done well, anyone can completely overturn the first round rankings.
Kang Hyeyeon
The first singer to appear is Kang Hye-yeon. Kang remained in the bottom rankings after participating in the competition, but she ranked first in the last round . Her new song, which will end the semifinal with a good mood, is 'Disco' by composer Ryu Sun-woo.
‘Disco’ is an exciting retro dance trot that will dominate gyms and singing classes across the country. It was a stage where Kang Hye-yeon's unique bright energy and sophisticated dancing, typical of an idol, stood out.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
Despite the judges' favorable reviews, I think the score was too low, perhaps because it was the first stage. Kang Hye-yeon received 292 points out of 480 from the celebrity judges.
The next stage was Jo Jeong-min, who ranked 11th in the first round and is currently a candidate for leaving out. Her new song is ‘Lucky’ by X-child . This song is also a dance trot. Jo Jung-min, who has been anxious since her practice because of her fast tempo and high notes, did her best with her sexy dance, which is her trademark, but she ended her stage with a somewhat unstable song.
▼▼Enjoy the song ▼▼
Jo Jung-min was evaluated as lacking in his breathing, sense of tempo, unstable pitch, and performing in a similar style each time. She scored 311 points, which is higher than Kang Hye-yeon, but her first round score makes it difficult for her to advance to the finals.
Yoon Soohyun
Soo-Hyun Yoon, who suffered a crushing defeat to active first-year Maria in the first round, is hanging on the cliff at 10th place in the first round. Her new song, which will be the finale, is 'Ninano' by composer Wi Jong-su . 'Ninano' is a dance trot with an exciting rhythm and lyrics that encourage you to have fun and not worry about the past.
It was a song that reminded me of her hit song, ‘Cheontaemansang’ . Her exciting song accompanied by amazing comical dance was like the ending performance of any other event. I think Yoon Soo-hyun goes really well with such a bright song. She sang and danced excitingly, and the judges responded with a trance-like dance.
▼▼Enjoy the song ▼▼
Yoon Soo-hyun received 371 points from the celebrity judges, with favorable reviews saying that it was a perfect match for the song and that she was truly a genius .
ByeolSarang
The new song that will see the end of ByeolSarang, ranked 9th in the first round, is ‘Sipri Cherry Blossom Road’ by composer Wi Jong-su . This song is an emotional trot that contains the sad heart of a woman who misses the beautiful times while looking at the cherry blossom road she walked with her lover.
BiolSarang's voice condition was not good as she participated in the previous round as a trot singer. He overcame the difficult situation, which may lack technical skills and singing skills, with delicate emotions and showed off her true master-like skills.
▼▼Enjoy the song ▼▼
Byeolsarang, whose singing skills were recognized for their rich emotions, received 389 points along with favorable reviews from the judges. If things continue like this, I think we will safely advance to the final match. And Byeolsarang continues to shedded tears of emotion at the judges' positive reviews.
Park Hye-sin
Park Hye-shin's new song, which has consistently maintained her No.1 ranking from the first round to the semifinals, was 'Peacock Bird' by composer Yoon Myung-sun. Park has been steadily trying to transform since the last round. Today, she showed off her new singing style in an unconventional outfit that she had never shown before.
'Peacock Bird' is a song that desperately yet fascinatingly expresses the heart of a woman who has lost her love. Composer Myeong-seon Yoon asked Hye-sin Park that when she sings this song, she must make up her mind and sing it in the most beautiful way.
▼▼Enjoy the song ▼▼
All of the judges praised Park Hye-shin, who sang a difficult song in bossa nova style with a wide range of pitches, as splendid as a peacock bird with outstretched wings. Hye -sin Park is likely to solidify her semifinal top spot with a score of 390. She also burst into tears as she received favorable reviews from her evaluators.
The main character of the final match after Park Hye-sin was Doori, ranked 12th in the first round. Her new song was Seolwoondo’s ‘The Night You Come’. This song is a retro and exciting dance trot. She received favorable reviews from the judges for his unwavering breathing and pitch despite Twist dance and difficult Sports dances, and received 341 points.
MaIjin
MaIjin, who stood on stage in a cute outfit, ended this round with composer Ryu Seon-woo's 'Stubby Pencil'. MaIjin, who thought she had chosen the song because she was attracted by the title 'Stubby Pencil', said she was once again convinced that the song was hers by the content of her lyrics.
It is said that composer Ryu Seon-woo was told by Myjin a long time ago that he wanted to have 10 hit songs before he died. He said he wrote the song with the hope that her first hit song would be 'Stubby Pencil'.
▼▼Enjoy the song ▼▼
It seems that her efforts to not give up even after going through many hardships in various auditions are finally paying off in the reigning King of Active Singers. Maijin, who ranked 3rd in the first round, received 352 points and will likely advance to the final match unless there is an upset.
Kim Da-hyun
The new song that Kim Dahyun, who ranked 7th in the first round, will sing is 'Praise Whale' by composer Shin Yu. ‘Praise Whale’ is a song that talks about the wishes of an innocent child who dreams of a world full of praise and love. The cheerful rhythm and innocent lyrics were a song that suited Kim Da-hyun's age.
Kim Dahyun has only sung sorrowful and traditional trot songs for adults. I don't think I've had much experience singing bright and fresh songs suitable for my age. However, it was a cute and lovely performance, as if dressed properly.
▼▼Enjoy the song ▼▼
The evaluation panel probably saw it that way, too, and gave it a high score of 411 points. Kim Dahyun, who was ranked 7th in the first round, suddenly jumped to first place in the second round. Of course, she looks like she'll make it to the finals.
The next singer is Ryu Won-jeong. Her new song was ‘I Became a Flower’ by composer Shin Yu . It is said that this song was created by Shinyu herself to sing. Perhaps that's why, like Shinyu's other songs, it is an impressive song with warm poetry-like lyrics and a soft melody.
▼▼Enjoy the song ▼▼
Ryu Won-jeong continued singing as carefully as possible to maintain the emotional line as the composer intended. And Xin Yu was also very satisfied with her song. However, it seems that the expectations of other evaluators were not met. Ryu Won-jeong, who was in 4th place in the first round, suddenly became a candidate for elimination after receiving a shocking score of 266 points.
Ryu Won-jeong, who had a good first round score and had risen to second place in the public support vote, was on the verge of advancing to the finals. That's why I think this round will be so disappointing. The original singer said he sang it well as he intended, but I couldn't understand why the other judges didn't acknowledge it.
LYn
The next singer is Lin. Her new song is 'Iya' by Yoon Myung-sun. The word 'Iya' is an exclamation expressing longing for a person you will never meet again. And it is Yoon's second song titled of exclamation after Jang Yoon-jung's 'Eomeona'.
▼▼Enjoy the song ▼▼
LYn, who absorbed all the songs in her own style, received 435 points and surpassed Kim Dahyun to take first place in the second round. And then she goes outside and starts crying.
LYn's sobbing storm seen in last week's trailer was none other than tears of joy.
Maria
The new song that Maria will sing in 5th place in the first round is ‘Love, That Japchae’ by composer Song Gwang-ho . This song is said to be a love song as sweet as delicious japchae. Although it is a dance trot with a fast tempo, the song length is only half that of the other participants.
▼▼Enjoy the song ▼▼
In a short period of time, she did understood the song, memorize the lyrics, practice pronunciation, learn the melody, and even practice dancing. None of this would have been easy for her, but Maria did it anyway.
The celebrity judges also continued to praise her efforts and flawless skills. But unfortunately, she received 318 points. If so, Maria feels like her chances of advancing to the finals may be somewhat in jeopardy.
Kinm Yang
Kim Yang is in last place in the first round along with Sanha Kim. The new song that will be sing in this round is ‘Love Song of the Wind’ by composer Song Gwang-ho . This song is a 7080 ballad style semi-trot that stands out with detailed emotions.
▼▼Enjoy the song ▼▼
It was a song with such sophisticated sensibility that it immediately put to rest all the harsh criticism. It was a song that suited Kim Yang perfectly. The song sounded so comfortable, as if I was wearing my own clothes.
It is said that the evaluation team also heard like that. I expected high scores because rave reviews, but that wasn't the case. 342 points! Kim Yang shedded tears of regret, saying that today will probably be her last day.
Jeon Yujin
Jeon Yu-jin, who placed 8th in the first round and was in a somewhat precarious position, ended up with X-child's 'Evening Primrose'. This song is a ballad trot that expresses the earnest feeling of waiting for a loved one by comparing it to the evening primrose. It's an attractive song that walks a tightrope between two boundaries, whether it's a ballad or a trot song.
It is said that this song was coveted by all the participants. What would have happened if another participant had called? This song, which is closer to a ballad than a trot, and requires deep emotions, various changes in sound, and explosive vocal volume, honestly seems to be a good fit for Jeon Yu-jin.
▼▼Enjoy the song ▼▼
Jeon Yu-jin received 413 points from the celebrity judges and came in second place in the second round. I think I have made up for the first round match against Kim Da-hyun, which I unfortunately lost by 26 points, to some extent.
And finally, Kim San-ha, who is tied for last place with Kim Yang, had a final performance. Her new song was ‘When the Brier' by composer Wi Jong-su . This song expresses the heartbreaking feelings of a offspring looking at her parents who are about to die.
▼▼Enjoy the song ▼▼
The celebrity judges heaped praise on Kim San-ha's sorrowful song. But the score is 325 points! It looks like elimination will be confirmed.
A Finalist
As I mentioned last week, starting from the semifinals, the scores from the public support vote will be reflected in the final score. Based on the 140 points for first place in the public support vote, 10 points are deducted depending on the ranking, which is added up.
After all scores are revealed, the top 9 are confirmed to advance to the finals, and the bottom 5 are candidates for release. The intermediate rankings, which are the sum of the scores from the first round, the celebrity judges' scores released to date, and the public support vote, are as follows.
Kim Da-hyun and Jeon Yu-jin, who were 7th and 8th in the first round, soared to 2nd and 3rd place in the second round and the public vote, and are closely chasing first place Park Hye-sin. Who will ultimately come in first place?
Finally, the score of the audience panel of 430 points was revealed. The results were surprising.
1st place was overturned. In the final 1st place was Jeon Yu-jin, 2nd place was Kim Da-hyun, and 3rd place was Park Hye-sin.
From 10th to 14th place, Ryu Won-jeong, Kim Yang, Doori, Jo Jung-min, and Kim San-ha were all candidates for leaving out. And among them, the only active singer who will advance to the finals will be decided by the audience's vote. Who will the audience choose?
Voting has finally ended and the results have been announced. The lucky active singer who received tickets to the finals from the audience was Kim Yang, who received 96 out of 215 votes.
Final
Next week, the long-awaited finals will be held to select the top 7 national representatives and the first King of Active Singer . In the finals, along with the scores from the public support vote, the music scores of the new songs released today are said to be reflected in the final score .
Therefore, from now on, I think you will have to work hard to vote and listen to the music during the remaining period.
