‘Sing Again 3’ first TOP7 confirmed
In the JTBC entertainment show 'Singer Gain Season 3 - Unknown Singer Competition' (hereinafter referred to as 'Singer Gain 3'), which aired on the 4th, the finalists were determined through the semi-final TOP6 match. In particular, attention was focused on the fact that the number of people advancing to the finals was changed to 7 teams and TOP7 was formed due to a sudden suggestion from the judges in the loser revival match. The viewership rating on this day was 7.3% based on Nielsen Korea's metropolitan area and 7.0% among paid households nationwide. The target audience rating for men and women in their 2049s was 2.0%, ranking first among all Thursday broadcasts.
The mixed fates of Shin Hae-sol and Lee Jean, who previously tied for the first time in the semifinals, caught attention. As a result of the judges' meeting, the finalist was decided to be Shin Hae-sol, and Ri-jin, who became a candidate for elimination, prepared for the loser revival match.
In the 1-on-1 match that followed, Chae Bo-hoon and Chu Seung-yeop, Soo-bin Soo and Hong I-sak, and Lim Ji-soo and Kang Seong-hee faced off, making viewers' adrenaline explode. First, Chae Bo-hoon and Choo Seung-yeop, who are from the same band but have different charms, had another tie situation as the judges' again score was 4 to 4.
As it was a competition that was as difficult as ever to determine superiority or inferiority, the opinions of the judges were not easily narrowed down. In the end, after careful deliberation, the judges decided to re-evaluate Chae Bo-hoon and Chu Seung-yeop in the loser revival match, heightening interest.
In particular, Soo-bin Soo and Lee-sak Hong, the main rivals of 'Singer Gain 3', made viewers suffer just by revealing the match-up. Soobin Soo, who went first, swept the hearts of the judges with Dear and Jaehyun's 'Try Again', leading to a public confession.
Hong Isaac's second attack was also formidable. He showed off his musical ability by passionately singing the travel sketch ‘To an Old Friend’. The match between the two participants went to Hong Isak, who received 6 agains. Accordingly, Soobin Soo-bin aimed for the last opportunity to advance to the finals through a loser revival match.
Lim Ji-soo and Kang Seong-hee faced off in blues. Lim Ji-soo even presented a free stage by selecting 'Lucille', composed by Eom In-ho of Sinchon Blues, to which Kang Seong-hee belongs, and sung by former member Han Young-ae. Kang Seong-hee gave people goosebumps with Lee Jeong-hwa's 'Spring Rain'. In the match between Lim Ji-soo and Kang Seong-hee, Kang Seong-hee, who received 7 Again, won.
As a result, Horim, Lim Ji-soo, Chae Bo-hoon, Soo-bin Choo, Seung-yeop Choo, and Ri-jin entered the battle to revive the losers, and their earnest performance resonated. In a situation where only two teams could advance to the finals, the judges conveyed their opinion to the production team to change the TOP 6 advancing to the finals to TOP 7, and three teams including Soo Soo-bin, Ri Jin, and Chu Seung-yeop survived. Horim, Lim Ji-soo, and Chae Bo-hoon, who were unfortunately eliminated, expressed their impressions of participating in 'Singer Gain 3' and their future determination, raising expectations for their growth as great singers.
In the changed final, TOP7 Kang Sung-hee, Shin Hae-sol, So So-bin, Hong I-sak, Chu Seung-yeop, EJel, and Ri-jin compete in the first new song mission and the second free song mission. The first new song mission is Lee Sang-soon's 'Why Did You Do That', Lee Moo-jin's 'Land and Boy', Kim Do-hoon's 'I Love You', Ahn Shin-ae & Philtre's 'LLL (Live, Laugh & Love)' and 'Please Stay', Rocoberry & LAS. With new songs from famous producers such as 'Fallen Love' and Jeong Dong-hwan's 'I'll Pray', attention is focused on who the main character of each song will be.
'Singer Gain Season 3 - Unknown Singer' airs every Thursday at 10 PM.
