Singer Son Seung-yeon was recognized as the strongest contender on the audition program.
On the 15th, Son Seung-yeon, who took the final turn on MBC's 'Audition Endgame: The Firsts,' exuded a unique aura as the inaugural winner of 'The Voice Korea.'
Pak Sun Zoo, who served as a judge on 'The Voice Korea,' praised Son Seung-yeon, saying "She is a terrifying singer. She employs nearly perfect vocalization and boasts solid skills regardless of vocal range, a textbook-like friend. She is the only singer in Korea who perfectly executes Whitney Houston's vocalization and technique," she said.
She also expressed unlimited trust and expectations toward Son Seung-yeon before the stage, saying, "I was surprised by her momentum and confidence even though it was her first stage during 'The Voice Korea.' I think she will leave a stage on 'The Firsts' that will be overwhelmingly and tremendously talked about."
That day Son Seung-yeon chose "Muldeureo," the song that earned her first place. Son Seung-yeon left the live audience deeply moved with her signature near-perfect vocalization and rich volume, along with a more relaxed presence and deepened emotion.
The first-place singers praised Son Seung-yeon's stage, saying "It's perfect," and "I don't know how she controls dynamics so well," and Heo Sung-tae also marveled, "Watching Son Seung-yeon's stage, I decided to pursue being a singer in my next life."
Son Seung-yeon established herself as the strongest among audition program contestants by starting with Ulala Session and then defeating Park Ji-min, Park Chang-geun, Baek Cheong-gang, Kim Ki-tae, Heo Gak, and Lee Ye-ji in succession to achieve an all-kill.
After finishing the stage, Son Seung-yeon showed strong confidence, saying, "Today I restrained myself and performed. Next week I will fight harder to keep the first-place spot."
