Tensions Rise on '1등들' as Contestants Clash in Intense Battle for the Top Spot

Singer Huh Gak, who has been married to Lee Soo-yeon for 14 years, faces an unprecedented situation on the stage of '1등들' as contestants express collective dissent.

The second episode of MBC's '1등들', airing on the 22nd, features a fierce battle for the throne among audition winners, with only the top five teams surviving the ruthless rules. Contestants, well aware of each other's skills, engage in a no-holds-barred competition, revealing their 'secret weapons' in head-to-head confrontations. This promises to deliver electrifying performances that will captivate the audience.

A shocking performance by one contestant shakes the venue. As soon as the performance ends, comments like "Isn't this cheating?" erupt, and Huh Gak responds with a wry smile, saying, "This is ridiculous." Other singers also express their disbelief, saying, "How can you do this so early?" and "Do we have to go this far?"

Attention is focused on whether Son Seung-yeon, who claimed the top spot with her overwhelming vocal prowess in the first episode, can maintain her throne. Despite her efforts to solidify her position with even more powerful performances, she faces unexpected challenges from the intensified ranking competition and the rapidly rising challengers.

Adding to the tension is Kim Ki-tae, who boldly declares, "I'm here to take down Huh Gak." Armed with his distinctive husky voice and explosive vocal power, Kim Ki-tae targets Huh Gak from the start, creating a tense rivalry. Their vocal showdown, driven by pride, reportedly left the entire recording set in awe, promising an unforgettable performance.

The extraordinary skills and determination of the contestants will be showcased in '1등들', airing at 9:10 PM.
