On the MBN 'King of Singers' show, Rini sheds tears on stage while thinking of her close friend, the late Wheesung, moving hearts.
The 44th episode of 'King of Singers,' which will air on 8th (Tue) at 9:50 p.m., contains a special mission preparing for the 'King of Singers' competition, which will be held in 2025, as part of a grand project commemorating the 60th anniversary of Korea-Japan diplomatic relations. The members of 'King of Singers 1' and 'King of Singers 2' engage in a fierce three-way battle against the trio of Japanese enka singers who have garnered significant attention with over 10 million cumulative views on YouTube since the broadcast.
Meanwhile, Rini's eyes turn red, raising questions. Rini notes, "This song's lyrics have offered me a lot of comfort regarding everything I've been going through lately," as she begins to sing, but at some point, her voice trembles, and she ultimately shows tears. In particular, the sight of Rini, who couldn't continue singing due to tears, moves not only Kim Da Hyun and Byul Sarang but also the members of 'King of Singers 2,' creating a somber atmosphere.
MC Daesung explains, "It's a delicate matter, but there has been something painful for all of us, including Rini," referring to the recent passing of the late Wheesung. In response, Rini also mentions the song lyrics, expressing her heartfelt wish that "I hope my feelings reach somewhere," amplifying the emotional atmosphere.
On this day's broadcast, characters known as gods emerge from each team, leading to a self-declared 'Gods' show-down.' Contestant Kang Moon-Kyung claims, "I am the ultimate weapon!" and entertains the audience with her transformation every time she sings, acknowledging her nickname, 'Goddess of Pop.' In contrast, Jeon Yoo-Jin declares herself as "the goddess of trot safeguarding the trot family's tradition," adding, "Since I came out as a goddess, beauty is my secret weapon," which causes an uproar in the venue. Everyone wonders who will claim victory in the 'Gods' show-down,' hailed as the greatest competition in history.
The production team noted, "In this 44th episode of 'King of Singers,' significant performances will drench the spring night with sincerity and communication through music," adding, "Please check out the touching stages that will convey warm comfort and empathy to the viewers with heartfelt sincerity captured in the lyrics."
