The best vocalists in Asia will compete live on 'Veiled Cup'.
Today (the 1st), SBS's 'Veiled Cup,' which airs live, will be broadcast from 4:10 p.m., earlier than usual, and will be a 120-minute live broadcast as it is the grand final. Asia's top 5 national vocal representatives 'Gyeongsang-do Steel Vocal Cords', 'Laguna Diva', 'Bangkok Soulman', 'Vientiane Redhair', and 'Phang Nga Bay Fighter' advance to the grand final to battle for the top spot in Asian vocals.
Starting as the world's first vocal country competition among nine Asian countries, 'Veiled Cup' has gone through fierce competition among contestants who proved their skills solely with their voices, and now only the grand final remains. Since only one of the TOP5 who survived the preliminaries and semifinals will be decided as the final winner, fans from each country are also at the highest level of expectation.
The grand final includes one contestant from Korea, one from the Philippines, two from Thailand, and one from Laos, and in particular Thailand has emerged as a strong favorite country with two contestants in the TOP5. Attention is focused on who will be the final winner on a stage that represents the pride of each Asian country.
On the upcoming grand final stage, 'Gyeongsang-do Steel Vocal Cords,' who in the Korean edition of 'Veiled Musician' sang Jung In's 'Miwo-yo' and made Ailee cry, and in the 'Veiled Cup' preliminaries chose Sumi Jo's 'If I Go' and received high praise from 10cm saying, "This is the performance I most wanted to see. I got goosebumps from the voice alone," will perform, and the only Filipino contestant who dramatically passed by passionately singing Alicia Keys' 'If I Ain't Got You' in the preliminaries and wrote a growth story based solely on talent, 'Laguna Diva,' will also grace the final stage.
Also appearing is 'Vientiane Redhair,' who received praise in the 'Veiled Cup' preliminaries for a highly polished performance of Bobby Kim's 'Love.. That Guy,' and the monster vocalist 'Bangkok Soulman,' who perfectly handled 'Mack The Knife' on the preliminaries stage and received rave reviews from 10cm and Ailee saying "it sounded like a recording." Also performing is 'Phang Nga Bay Fighter,' who drew attention by recording about 4 million views on social media after singing Alicia Keys' 'Fallin',' and the TOP5 with different charms are attracting attention for what kinds of performances they will present at the grand final.
Notably, this grand final stage will proceed without the silhouette device for the first time in 'Veiled Cup' history. Although there is no silhouette device, it is expected that the contestants' performances and emotions will be fully conveyed through a new stage production wrapped in veils.
The final winner will be determined by combining judge scores 50%, live broadcast voting 20%, cumulative global online votes 20%, and music voting 10%. Because the voting proportions are high, interest is focused on what variables may affect the result until the end.
The 'Veiled Cup' grand final will cap the vocal national competition for the pride of nine Asian countries. Who will be the country and the individual to seize the title of Asia's strongest vocal power can be seen on SBS at 4:10 p.m. today during the live broadcast of 'Veiled Cup'.<
