tvN STORY’s ‘Handsome Trot’ has announced an unpredictable showdown among the 8 finalists aiming for T4.
In the 8th episode of ‘Handsome Trot’ (directed by Hwang Da-won, written by Jeong Soo-jeong), which airs on the 11th, the final hurdle towards the ultimate audio source, the 4th round ‘Last T4 Battle’, will take place. Following last week’s first match ‘Song Request Battle’, legendary performances by In Gyo-jin, Lee Tae-ri, and Kim Jun-ho were revealed, creating an unpredictable classic match.
According to the production team, today’s broadcast will feature even more powerful stages, leading to unpredictable results. From Ji Seung-hyun’s stage that captivated the T-100 audience judging panel to Sexy Yama Choo Sung-hoon’s performance that maximized the emotional atmosphere, and the song dedicated by top vocalist Choi Dae-cheol to his wife, a feast of unprecedented stages worthy of the final stage is expected to unfold.
Trot master Hyun-woo, who returned with skills praised by Jang Min-ho, is said to have prepared a killer song that will surprise everyone. ‘Lee Chan-won’s pick’ talented Kim Dong-ho will unleash his talent as a musical actor, captivating the scene. In particular, with the diverse stages of the 8 finalists, continuous updates of the highest scores from the judges and unexpected twists are anticipated. The fluctuating first place and the contrasting expressions of the 8 finalists are expected to add to the thrilling tension.
Notably, the fact that the T4 benefit from the 3rd round was not reflected in the mid-scores is also a key point to watch. The scores from the T-100 audience judging panel (500 points) have not been revealed, making it highly likely that the final results could change. Who will be the protagonist of the T4 in the song request battle? This raises curiosity for the main broadcast.
As the composer of the new song, which is the benefit of the final T4, representative composers of South Korea, Yoon Il-sang and the genius composing duo, ‘It Turns Out to Be a Coma’, shared their insights on the four new songs, raising expectations.
Regarding the opportunity to participate as a composer for the new song of ‘Handsome Trot’, Yoon Il-sang expressed, “Watching the passion of the participants of ‘Handsome Trot’, I think it will be a time for me to learn and reflect as well.” The duo ‘It Turns Out to Be a Coma’ also stated, “Since there are people who are sincere about trot, I thought that working with such people would lead to the birth of good songs.”
About the new song, Yoon Il-sang described the track ‘I Will Embrace You’ as “a cute and warm song made for people who need comfort, whether it’s for myself or others.” Another new song, ‘Men To Man’, was expressed as “When I was young, I thought it was important to have many friends around me, but as time goes by, only the precious ones remain. I wanted to capture the transition from being boys to men.”
‘It Turns Out to Be a Coma’ also mentioned the song ‘Jungkkukma’, saying, “I wanted to create a song that supports those who strive for their dreams. The important message is about having an unyielding heart.” Another song, ‘To My Youth’, is described as “a song that captures the lonely feelings about the passage of youth and time, regardless of my passion for living life.”
MC Jang Min-ho also remarked, “It’s hard to get a song from composer Yoon Il-sang. He is the best composer, and his hit songs are phenomenal. The composers from ‘It Turns Out to Be a Coma’ are so hot that there’s no trot singer who doesn’t contact them,” expressing admiration for the composers’ new songs. Furthermore, MC Lee Chan-won reportedly couldn’t hide his envy, saying, “I thought I wanted to receive those songs.” The new songs that impressed Jang Min-ho and Lee Chan-won will be revealed for the first time through ‘Handsome Trot’.
With only one episode left until the final, the 8th episode of tvN STORY’s ‘Handsome Trot’ will air on Friday, the 11th, at 10 PM on tvN STORY, and will be available the next day, Saturday, at 10:40 PM on tvN.
