That day, behind-the-scenes stories were revealed right after Hong Ji-yoon was named the final king on King of Singers 3. Hong Ji-yoon first went to her fans to share her joy.
Earlier, Hong Ji-yoon said, "I recently lost a fan who supported me so much," adding, "This was someone who came to events despite being in pain to watch my performances.

She went on to say, "So I intend to cherish every performance."
After becoming the third King of Singers, Hong Ji-yoon said, "The people I thought of most after the stage were the fans who support me." Immediately after the live broadcast, she ran straight to the fans and thanked them, saying, "Thank you for coming to celebrate me so late. I know very well how hard the fans have worked for five years, so I really wanted to repay them. I was anxious, but thanks to you I got a good result."
Hong Ji-yoon also pledged, "The Korea-Japan king showdown remains. As king, I will think a lot about how to show Korea's culture and beauty and how we can beat Japan."
At the subsequent gala show, Hong Ji-yoon presented a colorful array of performances. She opened the show with TOP10 members with Hwanhee for the opening, and in her solo stage she passionately sang Yang Jieun's "Tear Mill," delivering deep emotion.
In addition, the team that had won first place in the team mission, Nurungji Caramel, returned to recreate Park Joo-hee's "Please Spread the Rumor" and Shin Joong-hyun and Yeopjeon-deul's "Beauty." With her characteristic lively energy and solid vocal ability, Hong Ji-yoon once again evoked the emotions from the competition and elevated the on-site atmosphere.
Afterward, Hong Ji-yoon created an exciting duet stage with Park Seo-jin and Imi-ri performing "Heung Taryeong" and the folk song "Gangwon-do Arirang."
