Episode 10 of the SBS music audition show airs Nov. 25, with Round 4 of the semifinals continuing as heavy-hitters Song Ji-woo, Lee Ye-ji, Kim Yoon-i, Jung Ji-woong, and Lee Ji-hoon take the stage and aim to upend the leaderboard.
The semifinals kicked off last week to decide which six artists advance to the live finale. From the Top 12, Lee Jun-seok, Jeremy, Min Soo-hyun, Chun Beom-seok, Lim Ji-sung, Choi Eun-bin, and Hong Seung-min delivered songs inspired by friends and family, moving a 100-member judging panel and viewers alike.
Standout Hong Seung-min poured his heart into Lena Park’s “Mia” as a message to his lonely 14-year-old self, racking up a massive 142 votes to claim the No. 1 spot. The current Top 6 is Hong Seung-min, Chun Beom-seok, Choi Eun-bin, Lim Ji-sung, Min Soo-hyun, and Lee Jun-seok, while Jeremy has been eliminated.
But with several powerhouses yet to perform, the rankings could flip at any moment ― even front-runner Hong Seung-min can’t breathe easy. All eyes are on the emotive stages from Song Ji-woo, Lee Ye-ji, Kim Yoon-i, Jung Ji-woong, and Lee Ji-hoon.
Adding fuel to the buzz, living ballad legend Yoon Sang was reportedly left stunned by one performance, even throwing up both hands and conceding, “I lost. I have nothing to say.” The big question: who delivered that show-stopping moment?
Find out who punches their ticket to the live finale when "The Ballad of Us" airs Nov. 25 at 9 p.m. KST on SBS.
