'1deungdeul' actress Rhee Minjung wiped away tears thinking of her daughter.
On the 15th broadcast of MBC's Sunday entertainment program '1deungdeul', the face-off round following the final showdown began. With three spots left for advancement to the final showdown, the singers had no choice but to engage in fierce competition. It was because Ahn Sang-hoon, who suddenly appeared and entered the rankings, and the new No. 1 Lee Ye-jun, who confirmed that he was indeed the winner of 'Voice Korea 2' with a steady performance, were present.
Boom said, "Be aware that singers who do not finish in the top five will not be allowed to perform on the next stage." In response, Ulala Session, Heo Gak, Baek Z Young and others looked longingly at the seats for ranks 1 through 5 as if they were endlessly envious.
Heo Gak grumbled, "I should take some photos with the trophy too." Heo Gak said, "I can't believe I'm sitting in this seat right now," and explained the reason he wore a fresh outfit that day by saying, "If you can't sing, at least wear prettier clothes." Park Chang-geun said casually, "I think the group ranked 6 through 10 is not a losers' group but a small station, and I'd even like to be the stationmaster," but he also expressed regret at the feeling that the singers in ranks 1 through 5 would not fall to the lower ranks.
'Boys Planet 2' Alphadrive One Sangwon said, "I intend to give all my votes. They said they could give one vote each," expressing his impression as if nervous and drawing attention.
The face-off round was structured so that Kim Ki-tae, Lee Ye-ji, Ahn Sang-hoon, and Son Seung-yeon competed in a tournament, and the person who advanced by bye faced last week's No. 1 Lee Ye-jun in the final. Kim Ki-tae defeated Son Seung-yeon, and Ahn Sang-hoon defeated Lee Ye-ji.
However, Kim Ki-tae prepared a decisive stage. It was 'Family Photo,' composed, written, and sung by Kim Jin-ho of SG Wannabe. His heartrending, appealing voice and the clear lyrics mentioning family were enough to bring the MCs and panelists to tears.
In particular, Baek Z Young and Rhee Minjung were crying to the point of just staring ahead and letting their tears fall helplessly. Kim Ki-tae explained the reason he sang by saying, "When I was young, my parents separated early. I was going to show a family photo, but it burned in a fire and disappeared. And I learned last year that my mother had passed away. When I pulled my family register, I only realized it then," and "I thought that because I'm on TV, my family would have found me. It seems she was ill," and "If any relatives see me, I would appreciate it if they would contact me. I want to find where my mother is."
Rhee Minjung said the reason she cried was, "I was talking with Baek Z Young about giving birth and then watched the stage." Just before the stage began, Baek Z Young asked about Rhee Minjung's second daughter Seo-i, saying, "If her birthday is then, it's Christmas time, right?" Rhee Minjung said, "So the only memory I have from that time is the scene of snow falling at the birthcare center," and was smiling fondly when she heard Kim Ki-tae's song.
Baek Z Young finished her critique, barely holding back tears, saying, "I came to understand the deep feeling of music. I already knew this song, but listening to it with Kim Ki-tae's textured voice, the lyrics about being the nourishing soil settled heavily."
