Singer Son Tae-jin revealed that there is more than 600 million won in prize money remaining.
The 38th episode of MBN's 'Hanil Top Ten Show,' airing tonight at 9:20 p.m., features a special segment titled '2025 Top Ten Appreciation Festival,' welcoming a warm spring with the essence of 'Ipchun Daegil' and offering warm energy and a priceless voice. In particular, members of 'Hanil Top Ten Show' invite glamorous partners to further illuminate the '2025 Top Ten Appreciation Festival' special and will share the stage together.
First, when reigning champion Jeon Yoo-jin and the winner of 'Phantom Singer' and 'Burning Trotman,' Son Tae-jin, appear, MC Daesung directly asks, "It's a question everyone is curious about for the first-place winners: Is there still prize money left?" This leaves the two feeling flustered. Jeon Yoo-jin responds, "It's already been a year since 'Reigning Champion.' I haven't spent the prize money and have saved it. Since I need to go to college, I'll use it for college tuition," revealing her robust plan to use it for tuition at the university she just entered. MC Daesung, seeing Jeon Yoo-jin posing confidently as though she will flex in college, adds, "When you go to college, flex a lot! I'll treat dinner tonight!" causing laughter.
Having received the highest prize amount of 629.67 million won from 'Burning Trotman,' Son Tae-jin, despite being three years past his victory, surprises everyone by stating, "I still have prize money!" Moreover, when Daesung teasingly asks, "I saw you eating caviar as a snack earlier. What's that about?" Son Tae-jin waves his hands and says, "It's fish roe," which evokes laughter at the scene.
In the meantime, Seo Do of the 'Seo Do Band,' who won 'Pungyu Daejang,' makes an appearance, leading to a powerful battle among the three legendary champions who shook the audition scene in South Korea. Before the confrontation, Seo Do provocatively declares, "I was the leader in 'Pungyu Daejang,' shouldn't I lead among the three?" Son Tae-jin responds, "Since I have won twice, I will aim for first place in the 'Top Ten Appreciation Festival,'" showing his determination towards the challenge of becoming a triple champion. Attention is drawn to the outcome of the 'First Place Triple Champion Showdown.'
Meanwhile, 'Trot Emotional Diva' Lin draws attention with a deep sigh about her concerns. Lin, who has 25 years of experience as a singer, walked out slowly after watching the Little Current's stage and expressed, "It's tough to make a living," letting out a big sigh. Curiosity is piqued as to who the Little Current that elicited Lin's sigh is.
The production team noted, "The fact that the beloved audition first-place winners Jeon Yoo-jin, Son Tae-jin, and Seo Do will face off on the same stage confirms the unique color of 'Hanil Top Ten Show.' Furthermore, the stage of Jeon Yoo-jin, Son Tae-jin, and Seo Do, which has written a new history in the K-audition scene, will provide emotion and joy that cannot be seen anywhere else."
Meanwhile, 'Hanil Top Ten Show' features current representative singers from South Korea and Japan, showcasing not only trot music but also K-POP and J-POP, engaging in fierce battles of hidden gems from both countries. The 38th episode of 'Hanil Top Ten Show' will air at 9:20 p.m. today.
