Kim So-yeon made a winning move by selecting Moon Joo-ran's 'Become a Stone Like This'. Having sung a lot of bright semi-trot songs, he showed off his new charm by trying out traditional trot songs with a slow beat. Jang Yoon-jung highly praised Kim So-yeon for completing the difficult challenge, saying, "It's not something you learned from somewhere, but you have your own calculations and convictions, and the power and concentration to push yourself."
Yuri Yeom, a vocal music major, did her best to show authentic trot. He passionately sang Geumjandi's 'New Love Pass', saying, "Because I have a sincere desire to do trot, I will do my best thinking this is the last time." He aroused admiration with his skillful bending and three-step high notes.

The traditional trot powerhouse, ‘Haenam virgin farmer’ Miss Kim, faced off against the miraculous phoenix ‘original trot fairy’ Yoon Seo-ryeong, who came back from losing two times in a row. Miss Kim left a stage that was like a textbook of traditional trot with Lee Tae-ho's 'Miss Go'. Jang Yoon-jeong praised the singer, saying, "The microphone made a sound that couldn't contain the vocal volume. I know she doesn't have much stage experience, but her facial expressions and gestures are not excessive and are close to perfect. It looks like she practiced a lot." Miss Kim was moved to tears by Jang Yoon-jeong's warm praise.
Seo-ryeong Yoon was strong. Taking advantage of his Gyeonggi folk song major, he chose Jeong Da-kyung's 'Hanibaram'.

Kalin Park poured out praise, saying, “Today and the last performance were really different,” and “I must have sharpened my sword and came out with a special move.”

Jeong Seo-joo's genre, created with a unique tone, was highly addictive. Jeong Seo-ju left a deep impression by perfectly performing Joo Hyun-mi's 'Rainy Yeongdong Bridge' in her own unique way. Jang Yoon-jeong praised the song, saying, "Trot is sung by a lot of people, but the sound source is weak. Won't Jeong Seo-ju become a music gangster?"
Nayoung, who was born deaf in her right ear, is taking on the challenge with the determination to practice twice as much as others. He received favorable reviews for showing off his trademark deep vibrato with Nam Jin's 'Heartbreaking'. But the opponent was also strong. He had to swallow his disappointment after losing 4 to 9 to Jeong Seong-ju.

Boom sobbed as he remembered his father who passed away. Following Boom, who shed tears uncontrollably, Kim Seong-ju and Eunhyuk also had red eyes. Kim Seong-ju expressed regret, saying, “Boommaster cried so much that it broke my heart.” Boom said, "Eunhyuk and I lost our fathers early, too. When I heard this song, I thought that both my father and Eunhyuk's father would be happily listening to the song in heaven, so I cried because I missed them." It made everyone cry.
Jang Yoon-jeong said, "Jin Hye-eon was sadder because she sang calmly and with less strength," and added, "It's amazing that she knows how to make others cry without crying herself. Conveying emotions is what beats technique." He went on to praise Bok Ji-eun, saying, "I was ecstatic when she showed me her vocal skills. There is no answer because you add technique to emotion." Bok-eun Bok, who beat Jin Hye-eon 9 to 4, said, "I am taking on a lot of challenges while doing 'Miss Trot 3'. I wanted to convey my feelings, and it seems like I was able to convey my feelings, so I am grateful and valuable. I will show you how I am improving and growing." It revealed sincerity.
Seo-hee Bang, the 'Daughter of Jeongeup' with deep emotion and appeal, and Soo-jeong Han, the Trot prodigy, 'President of Yeosu' faced off against each other.
