Kim So-yeon delivered another deeply moving performance.
On the November 9 broadcast of SBS's "The Ballad of Us Season 2," the second-round one-on-one battles continued from last week.
In this episode, Kim So-yeon, who tied for third place overall in Round 1, went head-to-head with vocal music major Kim Hoon-oh. Ahead of Kim So-yeon's performance, Joo Woo-jae raised expectations by telling BIBI, "You're going to have a whole new experience this time as well."
Having chosen Kim Kwang-seok's "Love That Was Too Painful Wasn't Love," Kim So-yeon shared, "I remember the moment in the past when my late father sang in front of me. I want to go back 10 years and sing this song for my dad."
Kim So-yeon then delivered an emotion-packed stage. Moved to tears, Moon Geun-young said, "Why do you keep making me cry? There is a depth that I cannot even begin to imagine—what kind of times you have gone through, what kind of thoughts you had, and with what heart you have lived your life—that made me feel so much sorrow, pain, and loneliness." She added, "I hope you don't experience a love that is too painful, So-yeon."
BIBI also shed tears during Kim So-yeon's performance. She drew attention by expressing her feelings, saying, "I feel like if my life were a movie, its soundtrack would sound like this voice."
Amid the continued praise, Jung Jae-hyung spoke up cautiously. He voiced some concern regarding Kim So-yeon, stating, "This was another stage built in So-yeon's own way. But I also want to see a slightly different color. Because you are so unique, it's not easy to say you should change a bit, either—your personal color is just so distinct."
Roy Kim also advised, "If you only listen to music you like, your musical spectrum can narrow. What if you try listening to styles you haven't heard, singing along to them, and showing a slightly different color? It certainly won't seem strange if you do."
Meanwhile, Kim So-yeon drew attention on this day by securing an overwhelming 101 to 49 victory over Kim Hoon-oh.
