In "Our Ballad," Cha Tae-hyun shows tears.
Today (23rd) the new SBS music audition Our Ballad (directed by Jung Ik-seung, Ahn Jeong-hyeon, Han Ye-seul, Go Ji-yeon) is a music audition program that shares the life ballads that accompanied every moment in our memories and seeks new voices of 2025 to newly sing the ballads that were my songs back then. Among contestants with an average age of 18.2, 150 top baekgui representatives will discover hidden gems.
In the broadcast, round 1 on the theme of the first ballad of my life unfolds, and contestants must receive more than 100 votes from the top baekgui to advance to the next round. One contestant chose Im Jae-bum's "For You," which he used to listen to with his father, and the story and stage drew the attention of the top baekgui delegation.
At the contestant's stage that showcased explosive vocal power and emotion, the top baekgui representatives rose from their seats and gave a standing ovation. In particular, Cha Tae-hyun, who had coldly judged contestants from his own perspective as an audition enthusiast who has mastered various auditions, reportedly burst into tears, surprising everyone. Viewers are curious about who the contestant was who upended the venue.
Meanwhile, a contestant who dreamed of becoming a musician after watching "K-pop Star" raises interest by challenging with a song by Jung Seung-hwan, a "K-pop Star" alumnus and a top baekgui representative. It is said the contestant even prepared the difficult song "Jaejari," which the original singer Jung Seung-hwan performs only at concerts, accompanied by piano. After the contestant's stage, Mimi exclaimed, "What do you do when a master is already here at the audition?" leaving people surprised, and all eyes are on what impressions Jung Seung-hwan will share and whether a second Jung Seung-hwan can be born.
Meanwhile, preview videos of "Our Ballad" contestants are proving viewers' keen interest with high view counts. Among them, the preview video of Resurrection's "Never Ending Story" is a hot topic, recording about 2.14 million YouTube Shorts views and about 4.18 million Instagram Reels views on the SM C&C STUDIO official account.
