Since the 13th, 'Legend of the Unknown' has been sharing sneak peek videos for the upcoming 8th episode, set to air on the 15th, through its official social media channels. The video showcases a glimpse of the overwhelming performances from the first round of the finals, the 'Team Medley Battle', capturing the attention of viewers.
The video released on the 13th features a part of the 'Don't Turn Back' performance by the 'Chanting Republic' team, led by Lee Chang-min, who secured second place in the second round '1-on-1 Death Match'. Former rivals and top contenders Lee Chang-min and Seong-ri have teamed up this time, creating a spine-tingling harmony that electrified the audience from the start.
Lee Chang-min, who humorously remarked, “During my 2AM days, I only moved about twenty steps,” transformed into a 'dancing machine' rivaling Seong-ri, delivering a spectacular performance that promised to turn the stage into a concert hall, living up to the team's name.
On the 14th, the preview video of 'Simkoongdan' drew attention with its dramatic pre-and post-performance scenes. The youngest leader, Kim Tae-woong, struggled during practice, eventually shedding tears of frustration, evoking sympathy from viewers. However, once the main stage began, the situation flipped 180 degrees. The tears from the practice room vanished as the three prodigies showcased perfect synchronization with their adorable choreography to the intro of 'Firefly', promising a performance that would capture the hearts of 'uncle and aunt fans' with their unique charm and solid skills, raising curiosity for the main broadcast to its peak.
The 'Team Medley Battle' in this 8th episode promises not only a feast of legendary national songs but also performances born out of the challengers' desperation, expected to be the best yet. With only 14 out of the 27 survivors advancing, the intense performances of those who make it through the fierce competition are heating up viewers' expectations.
The third round of the finals, the 'National Song Battle', will air on MBN at 9:40 PM on the 15th.
