Warm-up for ‘King of Korean Singers’ is over... 1v1 rivalry begins

“The ‘self-exploration match’ was a warm-up! “The war between Korea and Japan begins in earnest!”

As the 'Korea-Japan Singer King Battle' enters the long-awaited main competition with the '1-on-1 rivalry' between the Korean and Japanese national teams, 'R&B Trot Queen' Lin attempts to sing in Japanese for the first time in her life.

MBN's 'King of Singers in Korea and Japan' is the world's first 'music national competition' in which national trot representatives from both countries, selected as Korea's 'Active Singer King' and Japan's 'Trot Girls Japan' TOP 7, compete against each other with the pride of their countries.

In the second episode of 'Korea-Japan Singer King', which will be broadcast on the 9th (today), the preliminaries 'self-exploration match' will be concluded, and the full-scale confrontation between Korea and Japan, which will be held as a 'best of 3 matches', will begin. In particular, this match is being held as a spicy '1-on-1 rivalry' in which the Korean and Japanese national teams face off.

The 10 Korean and Japanese celebrity judges are each given 10 points, for a total of 100 points, and the 50 Korean and Japanese national judges each are given 1 point each, for a total of 100 points, for a total of 200 points, and only one of the challengers from Korea and Japan is unconditionally selected. The ‘either-or rule’ applies.

Meanwhile, in the '1-on-1 rivalry', Rin shed tears and confessed his fan feelings to Japan's TOP7 Makoto, and a 'star and passionate fan' has a match like a 'savage twist of fate', giving a spicy taste of 'Korea-Japan battle'. And Rin and Makoto fiercely confront each other with a sweet but sharp 'declaration of war', creating an exhilarating tension.

Moreover, Lin chose Japan's famous national song as a contest song, attempting to sing in Japanese for the first time in her life. When Rin brought out Enka Miyako Harumi's 'At the Accommodation in the North', the scene erupted in gasps of shock and surprise, asking, "Really?" On the other hand, Makoto, contrary to Rin, selects 'Promise' by Jang Yun-jeong, a Korean national song, and sets up a counter-win.

In a situation where a possible collaboration battle is expected as it is only the 'Korea-Japan Singer King Battle' where the Korean national team member Lin sings a Japanese national song and the Japanese national team member Makoto sings a Korean national song, who will emerge victorious by overcoming differences in perfect pronunciation and cultural sensibilities? raises curiosity about who it will be.

On the other hand, Maijin, the ‘underdog legend’, presents a stage where she properly presses the provocation button, as befits a man with a unique steel mentality. Maijin, who plays Daesung's 'Look at me, defection', performs a cute and cute 'fun time' performance. From explosive passionate singing to fiery roundhouse kicks, fluent Japanese lyrics, rapid-fire rap, and flashy dance moves, you can't take your eyes off of Mai Jin's 'full charm'. As the original singer Daesung continues the dance competition with the original singer Daesung standing on the stage, what is the reaction to Mai Jin's performance? Attention is being paid to whether we will get it.

The production team said, “As if it were fate, the stage of Rin and Makoto singing in each other’s language will be a thrill that can only be felt in ‘Korea-Japan Singer King’. “Please check out the second episode of ‘King of Korea-Japan Singers’ where you can get a taste of it,” he said.

Meanwhile, the second episode of MBN's 'Korea-Japan Singer King' will be broadcast at 10 pm on the 9th (today).
