The broadcast revealed the results of the first round 'Team Medley Battle' of the third round 'National Song Battle'.

Haru's dominant performance continued in the second round 'Top Ace Battle', which was crucial for the team's fate. Announcing his participation as both leader and ace amidst a close contest with the second-place team from the first round, Haru stated, “I only thought that we must win first place to advance,” and took the stage with determination.
Haru, who had previously experienced defeat in the individual competition despite good team scores in the first round, aimed to break his jinx. He leveraged his piano skills, honed despite a challenging upbringing, as his secret weapon for the team's victory. Haru continued to practice individually whenever possible, even after team rehearsals, and took the stage with the resolve to “give it my all,” performing Jang Yoon-jeong's 'Que Sera Sera'.
Sitting at a grand piano, Haru captivated both the top professional panel and competitors with his delicate emotions, stable piano skills, and deep vocals, dominating the stage. The original artist, Jang Yoon-jeong, praised him, saying, “It was like watching the Little Prince,” and added, “Removing the 'unfamous' label will be a breeze for him.” Son Tae-jin also complimented Haru, stating, “It was a stage where he showed everything he had,” and saw potential for him to expand into songwriting and composing. Haru received the highest score of 941 points from the top professional panel, showcasing his prowess in the second round 'Top Ace Battle'.
With his charming visuals and solid skills, Haru continued his upward trajectory through the third round, securing the team's final first place with a combined score of 2195 points from both the top professional panel and the national panel, playing a decisive role in leading all team members to the semifinals. Additionally, Haru topped the restructured TOP3 in the third round, claiming the highest position in the 'ranking top'.
Haru expressed, “It was thanks to my team members rather than my own doing that we could achieve first place,” demonstrating strong teamwork and leadership. As the 'Trot Nobleman' with a combination of visuals, emotion, and performance, all eyes are on whether Haru can maintain this momentum and clinch the final victory.
