tvN's variety show 'Amazing Thursday' wrapped up its run with a star-studded finale, offering a delightful mix of entertainment. As a spin-off of 'Amazing Saturday,' the show premiered on the 19th of last month, capturing the hearts of viewers.

Airing its final episode on the 9th, 'Amazing Thursday' had been a staple for viewers every Thursday night. The last episode was a laughter-filled affair, thanks to Boom's skillful hosting, the comedic antics of Lee Yong-jin, Jung Yi-rang, Seo Eun-kwang, and Jo Jazz, and the fantastic chemistry with the guests.

During the episode, AlphaDriveOne's Sang-won and member Sinlong delivered a passionate performance of BLACKPINK's 'Kill This Love' in the 'Singku Karaoke' segment, moving Jo Jazz to tears. Jo Jazz revealed a special connection, sharing that Sang-won once worked part-time at his store, and expressed his pride, saying, "I dreamed of coming back to you as a successful person, just like you, and it feels like a dream come true."

Kwak Min-kyung and Sung Baek-hyun, stars of the dating show 'Transit Love 4,' shocked everyone with their performance. While Kwak Min-kyung performed traditional Korean dance in front of Sung Baek-hyun, an unexpected moment occurred, leading to laughter when Kim Ji-yoo quipped, "Is this part of Korean dance?"

In the 'Bangku Karaoke' segment, nostalgic songs like Im Sang-a's 'Musical' and Park Myung-soo's 'Prince of the Sea' were featured. Kim Jang-hoon excitedly filled in the blanks for Sobangcha's 'Last Night Story,' confident in his answers. However, Boom and the production team reviewed the footage and determined that Kim Jang-hoon's pronunciation of 'party' as 'pati' was incorrect, leading to a humorous moment when he performed his signature 'Dokdo Kick' out of embarrassment.

The final showdown between Team Yong and Team Jung took place in the 'Bangku Attack Karaoke' segment. After a back-and-forth battle, Team Yong clinched victory by correctly filling in six blanks for Kim Jong-seo's 'Beautiful Restriction.' Team leader Lee Yong-jin chose Kwak Min-kyung as the VIP for her entertaining dance that halted the recording.
