Park Seo-jin's straightforward approach in ‘Current King of Singers 2’ worked.
On the broadcast of MBN’s ‘Current King of Singers 2’ on the 21st, Park Seo-jin once again delivered an extraordinary performance that brought the audience to tears. In the first round of the third stage of the finals, the ‘One Song Battle’, Park Seo-jin secured a total of 3rd place, surpassing Kim Kyung-min, allowing him to enter the second round from a favorable position. The second round, ‘A Flip of a Game’, featured a solo performance with double the points from the first round, totaling 600 points, maximizing the viewers' tension.
Park Seo-jin directly confronted the disappointment of not being able to fully showcase his singing skills due to being overshadowed by the janggu (traditional Korean drum). He took the stage for the solo performance without the janggu. Park Seo-jin chose Kim Guk-hwan's ‘Do You Know Flower Soon-i’, raising expectations by promising a stage filled with his own emotions.
The celebrity judging panel, as well as the competing current singers, focused their attention on Park Seo-jin, who took the stage without the janggu. With a calm yet poignant voice, Park Seo-jin skillfully controlled the dynamics of the performance, paying delicate attention to his breathing and delivering the narrative of the song in a straightforward and clean manner. The celebrity judging panel praised Park Seo-jin's performance, which showcased the essence of emotional trot until the end, while the audience shed tears.
Joo Hyun-mi remarked, “Even though it’s a song that’s hard to evoke emotions in the listener, seeing you calmly concentrate on your feelings while singing made me realize your depth once again,” and praised Park Seo-jin’s challenge of going head-to-head with the mindset of “Listen to my song.”
Yoon Myung-sun began her judging comments by saying, “We must truly thank God,” sparking curiosity. She expressed that Park Seo-jin’s difficult childhood led him to realize the trials and tribulations early on, referring to it as “attending the school of destiny,” and sent heartfelt support by mentioning his past that allowed him to create living music.
Park Seo-jin, who wanted to be recognized solely through singing and to hear the words “He is a good singer,” successfully captivated the celebrity judging panel with his straightforward approach. Additionally, Park Seo-jin ranked first in the cumulative results of the national support voting for the sixth week, following last week.
‘Current King of Singers 2’ Episode 9 will be broadcast on the 28th.
