'Mr. Trot 2' Park Ji-hyun's preliminary trial is true, Park Seo-jin is strong in voting
While the Trot auditions 'Mr. Trot 2' and 'Burning Trotman' have completed the preliminaries and entered the finals, 'stars' aiming to become the second Lim Young-woong have begun to stand out. In 'Flaming Trotman', Hwang Young-woong is taking the lead, sweeping both first place in the preliminary examination and first place in the national support vote, and in 'Mr. Trot 2', rising star Park Ji-hyun and 'God of Janggu' Park Seo-jin are competing fiercely.
In TV Chosun's 'Mr. Trot 2 - The Beginning of a New Legend' (hereinafter referred to as 'Mr. Trot 2'), which aired on the 5th, the main character who defeated everyone and became the master preliminaries was decided. He was none other than Park Ji-hyun, a college student who garnered attention as the protagonist of All Heart in the shortest amount of time.
Park Ji-hyun, who was called Jin, expressed her gratitude by saying, "I know this means that I will work harder in the future, so I will work harder. I feel really good about getting first place."
Park Ji-hyun appeared in the first episode with a warm visual and caught everyone's attention by revealing her unexpected history, saying, "I have been working in the fishing industry with my mother since I was 20." He selected 'Ugly Guy' in front of the original composer Jinseong, surprising the masters from the first verse, and instantly received all hearts with his refreshing high notes. This was the shortest time in the season ever. The number of YouTube views also reached 1.08 million as of the 6th.
There was no disagreement about his singing ability, star quality, and stage manners. However, as it became known that he was Jang Yoon-jung's student and junior at her agency, the situation was labeled as a suspicion of preferential treatment. In order to overcome this, the remaining task is to prove one's skills in the finals.
‘God of Janggu’ Park Seo-jin, who even won the championship in ‘I am a Trot Singer’, is also a strong candidate for the championship with a large fan base. He left his janggu role and appeared on stage as singer Park Seo-jin, singing Na Hoon-ah's 'Red Lips' with only his voice, and received an all-heart award for his excellent pace control.
Jang Yoon-jeong, who watched his performance, said, "Park Seo-jin chose the janggu as a tool to show himself. But it became a tool that held him back. When I meet Park Seo-jin again when I'm 14, I want to tell him to push forward because he can compete with him through singing." He gave advice that touched Park Seo-jin.
Accordingly, the YouTube video also exceeded 1.36 million views, recording the second highest number of views among the 'Mr. Trot 2' videos after 10-year-old Hwang Min-ho (2.07 million views). Park Seo-jin is expected to take the top spot in the online support vote that began immediately after the broadcast on the 5th.
In MBN's 'Burning Trotman', Hwang Young-woong takes an overwhelming first place. As a result of the public support vote for the first week, which was revealed on the air on the 3rd, Hwang Young-woong took the top spot, beating Nam Seung-min and Shin Seong.
Hwang Young-woong, who appeared as the 'Ulsan Hero', captured attention by revealing the story of his tall height and visuals, as well as the story of how he resigned from his job as an automobile producer and moved to Seoul to pursue his dream early this year. She performed Jin Mi-ryeong's 'Ugly Love' with excellent mid-bass voice and received 'all-in' from the judges with rave reviews from Seol Un-do, who said she wanted to give the song to her. Afterwards, he proudly took first place in the TOP 3 of the delegation preliminaries, surpassing Park Min-soo and Shin Seong.
Now, as the full-fledged Trot war begins, attention is focused on whether those who were recognized for their topicality and skills in the early stages will win until the end, or whether a new star will be born through the final stage.
