Singer Hwanhee sang fervently for his mother.
On the 25th, during the final episode of MBN's 'Current King of Singers 2' broadcast live, Hwanhee caught attention by being the first to take the stage among 10 candidates during the second round of the finals.
That day, the final episode was conducted in reverse order of the scores from the first round of the finals. Hwanhee, who placed last in the first round, became candidate number 0. Hwanhee said, "It's a new feeling to make it to the finals. Even if I can't go all the way, I hope that my activities up to now will be remembered as, 'I left such good songs as a trot singer.'"
He revealed that the reason he chose Jo Hang-jo's 'Thank You' was, "My mother has gone through so much hardship," adding, "I was listening to this song in the car, and it brought me to tears. The lyrics resonated with me, and I wanted to express it to my mother."
Hwanhee eventually finished his performance in tears at the end of the stage. In response, the celebrity judging panel member Joo Hyun-mi evaluated, "I only thought this song was for a husband to sing to his wife, but you said you sang it thinking of your mother. I think it would be so, so moving for a mother's heart."
Meanwhile, considering that text votes are currently being conducted through the live broadcast, Hwanhee was only informed of the highest and lowest scores he received from the celebrity judging panel. Hwanhee received a high score of 100 points and a low score of 70 points from the celebrity judging panel for his performance of 'Thank You.'
