"The Ballad of Us 2" will once again present deeply moving performances featuring buzzed-about top-ranking contestants from Round 1.
On the SBS audition program "The Ballad of Us 2," airing on the night of November 9 at 10 p.m., Round 1 third-place finisher Kim So-yeon and the youngest contestant, second-place finisher Park Jin-seo, will face off to advance to Round 3.
Kim So-yeon, whose Round 1 performance clip recorded 4.5 million views, selected the late Kim Kwang-seok's "Love that Was Too Painful Was Not Love" to showcase her deep and desolate tone. BIBI, who had brought a horror book claiming she would overcome being deeply moved through fear, shed tears without even having time to take out the book and ultimately became speechless, while Moon Geun-young was also overcome with poignant emotion.
The stage of 13-year-old Park Jin-seo, the youngest contestant who chose Cho Yong-pil's "Song of the Wind," also sent chills through the studio. Joo Woo-jae repeatedly marveled, saying, "Is 'The Ballad of Us 2' ending today? Is this the finale stage?" while Roy Kim raised anticipation by confidently declaring, "I think she will become Whitney Houston by age 21."
In addition, the "classical vocal boy" Kim Hoon-oh, the only son of classical vocalist KARA Son, and the "cutie" Ra Yoo-jung, picked by Cha Tae-hyun, will perform Kim Bum-soo's "Last Love" and Page's "In Order that Farewell Doesn't Come," respectively. In particular, the story behind Joo Woo-jae having an unexpected disagreement with the Top 100 Ears panel over Kim Hoon-oh's stage, stating, "If that happens, I'll blame the two of you," will also be unveiled.
The thrilling Round 2 competition created by these buzzed-about contestants will be revealed on "The Ballad of Us 2," airing on Monday, November 9, at 10 p.m.
