Hwang Young-woong, who attempted to take the lead, aroused sympathy by saying that the reason he chose Nam Jin's 'Empty Lose' was because he remembered the time when he came to Seoul with a dream of becoming a singer, but felt that the threshold was high. Hwang Young-woong delivered a deep resonance by showing off his luxurious bass and solid treble skills through Nam Jin's 'Empty Jiji'. Min Soo-hyun, a junior public figure, said that she chose Na Hoon-a's 'Man' while thinking of her father, who volunteered to be her manager for 10 years. She broke away from the quiet way she had been on stage and showed off a concert-like atmosphere with her unconventional stage manners, such as a sly dance and running down to the audience.

Lee Seung-hyun showed off his improved skills by singing 'Samba's Lover' in front of his father, Seol Woon-do, and performing samba steps, stormy high notes, and even a couple dance. However, his opponent, Park Min-ho, turned the scene around by mobilizing his mother and father, who had been dancers for 45 years, on the stage of Seolwoon-do's 'Into Memories', dancing a delicious version of Zirvak, and opening 'Bult Cabaret'.

Seol Woon-do said to his son Lee Seung-hyeon, “I didn’t understand the song. “That is the problem,” he pointed out sharply, and then gave warm encouragement, “I sincerely hope that you will become a star that surpasses your father through Lee Seung-hyun’s song as an individual, not as your father’s halo.” He also said to Park Min-ho, “Your planning skills were very good. I felt like I was sitting in a cabaret in 1960. He gave accurate praise and evaluation, saying, “It means that he impressed us that much.” The warm and fair nature of the delegates, who were evaluated only based on ability and stage without any prejudice, stood out, making 'Burning Trotman' even more thrilling and meaningful. The match between the two was 110 to 578, with Lee Seung-hyun shockingly losing to Park Min-ho by more than five times.
