'1st place' singer Park Ji-min reveals the reason behind her long hiatus and recent condition problems.

On the April 8 broadcast of MBC's '1st place' episode 4, a "line-up match" to determine the top five who will advance to the "one-on-one match" will be held. As the ranking competition among the contestants desperate for the stage becomes fiercer than ever, the hidden story and harrowing struggle of Park Ji-min, who had repeatedly ranked low in previous contests and raised everyone's concerns, are portrayed.

Park Ji-min had ranked low in the previous "line-up match." In contrast to the Park Ji-min everyone remembered for her skill, her unstable vocal condition left even the eardrums expressing both puzzlement and concern.

In the broadcast, Park Ji-min cautiously opens up about her prolonged condition problems, confessing, "Because of something that happened to me, I stayed away from the stage for three years." Recalling the years she spent away from the microphone, she added, "I even wondered, 'Is music not my path?'"

This raises growing curiosity about the unexpected reason no one anticipated that forced Park Ji-min to suddenly put down the microphone.

Determined after sharp reflection, Park Ji-min declared, "I will prove on today's stage that effort does not betray you," showing strong will to restore her honor. The panelists also voiced their unified support, saying, "I really hope Park Ji-min does well," and "Please, I hope she rises into the top ranks this time."

The broadcast airs at 9:10 p.m. that evening.
