MBN 'Japan-Korea Top Ten Show' special for the 60th anniversary of Korea-Japan diplomatic relations, 'Japan-Korea Shin-dong King Competition,' is an unprecedented national competition in music where the national representatives of Korea and Japan's Shin-dongs face off. In the first round broadcast on the 3rd, the national representatives of Korea and Japan showcased a taste of competition through the 'Self-Assessment' round, heating up the home theater. Notably, the first round recorded a peak rating of 6.3% in Bundang and a national rating of 5.7% (according to Nielsen Korea), proving the intense interest in the 'Japan-Korea Shin-dong King Competition.'
In connection with this, the MBN 'Japan-Korea Top Ten Show' special 'Japan-Korea Shin-dong King Competition' airing on the 10th (today) will fully launch the second round, 'One-on-One Death Match - On-Site Designation Match,' where the national representatives of Korea and Japan's Shin-dongs engage in thrilling head-to-head battles. The Korean and Japanese representatives will directly designate their opponents for a fierce competition in a brutal 'One-on-One Death Match.'
In particular, in the first round 'Self-Assessment,' Japan's enka star Nishi-yama Riku burst forth with outstanding charm with 'How Old Are You?' and was selected as the MVP of the 'Self-Exploration' round, allowing the Japanese team to seize the momentum first. The Korean Shin-dong team expressed their determination, stating, 'I will definitely win,' raising anticipation for what signature stages they will present.
Meanwhile, Jung-ton trot genius Bin Ye-seo revealed her anxious thoughts towards the Japanese Shin-dong who designated her, heightening worries about victory. After being called by the Japanese Shin-dong and stepping onto the stage, Bin Ye-seo expressed her nervousness, saying, 'Honestly, I wasn't too keen on facing this opponent... I feel like they are too strong.' With a showdown between the Korean trot Shin-dong and the Japanese enka Shin-dong at stake, Bin Ye-seo enthusiastically declared, 'I will completely defeat my Japanese friends with my vocal skills,' raising questions about whether she can maintain her pride.
On the other hand, in the 'Second Round One-on-One On-Site Designation Match,' the national representatives of Korea and Japan's Shin-dongs will set ablaze a fierce determination with an unprecedented stage.

Expectations rise for the signature stages from the Korean Shin-dong team, who lost the MVP title, and the defensive stage from the Japanese Shin-dong team.
