The face is Yoo Yeon-seok, the skills are Na Hoon-ah, 21-year-old Choi Su-ho's twist.

‘Mr. Trot 2’ star is born. Choi Su-ho, a 21-year-old college student, rose to the highest position, beating out active singers and those with audition experience.

The TV Chosun competition program 'Mr. Trot 2 - The Beginning of a New Legend', which aired on the afternoon of the 16th, featured the 3rd medley team mission of the finals and the grand battle.

Last week, while 'Mulberry Dream' (Ahn Seong-hoon, Han Tae-i, Lim Chan, Na Sang-do, Park Seong-on) formed by Seong-Hoon Ahn, who took second place in the finals, took an overwhelming first place, 'Jingiskan', the last team formed by Su-ho Choi, who won first place in the finals. The stage of (Choi Su-ho, Jin-wook, Gil Byeong-min, Yoon Jun-hyeop, Choo Hyuk-jin) was revealed. Genghis Khan spectacularly finished the medley stage with ‘Ssangssang’, ‘The Face I Want to See’, ‘What Love’, ‘Songin’, ‘Spark’, and ‘Come to My Oppa’s House’.

With Jingis Khan setting a new record with a master score of 1264 points, the final score of the medley team mission, which was the sum of the master score and audience score, was revealed. Jingis Khan recorded 1,518 points, and Mulberry Dream maintained first place with 1,527 points. Mulberry Dream, who took first place in the medley team mission, earned 30 additional points.

The first order of the 2nd round battle was taken by Song Min-jun, the leader of 'Mongflix', the lowest ranked team in the 1st round. Singing Choi Baek-ho's 'End of the Sea', he earned a master score of 1,156 points and an audience score of 234 points. Kim Yong-pil received a master score of 1229 points and an audience score of 264 points for Yoon Si-nae's 'Devotion'.

Choi Soo-ho, the leader of ‘Jingis Khan’, selected Na Hoon-ah’s ‘Youngyoung’. It received a master score of 1,259 points and an audience score of 254 points with a charm that was completely opposite to the original song.

As a result of the combined results of rounds 1 and 2 of the medley team mission, 'Jingis Khan' ranked 1st with a total score of 3031 points, 'Mulberry Dream' ranked 2nd with 2911 points, 'Honey Bees' ranked 3rd with 2865 points, and 'Mr. Pongshine' ranked 2847 points. ranked 4th, and 'Bongflix' ranked 5th with 2701 points.

While all five members of the Jingis Khan team advanced directly to the next round, 11 additional candidates, including Kim Yong-pil, Park Seong-on, Na Sang-do, Park Ji-hyun, Lee Ha-jun, Jang Song-ho, Jin Hae-seong, Song Min-jun, Hwang Min-ho, Song Do-hyeon, and Ahn Seong-hoon, were named, making a total of 16 people participate in the fourth round. done.

In addition, Choi Su-ho advanced to the second and third rounds of the finals two consecutive times, announcing the birth of an unrivaled star. In particular, it is meaningful in that he defeated Ahn Seong-hoon, who ranked first in the support vote in the 6th week, Jin Hae-seong, a former audition winner, Park Ji-hyun, Jang Yun-jeong's student, and Kim Yeon-ja's student Hwang Min-ho.

While Choi Su-ho showed off his formidable potential, Ahn Seong-hoon and Park Ji-hyun, who were said to be contenders for the championship, fell away from the crown. Ahn Seong-hoon, whose neck condition was bad due to preparation for the contest, suffered a crisis when he received the lowest score from the judges.

Park Ji-hyun also received harsh criticism in Daejangjeon. Jang Min-ho, who watched Park Ji-hyun's performance, expressed regret, saying, "Personally, I wonder what it would have been like if I hadn't done the modulation," and Jin-seong said, "This song requires vibration, but it wasn't there from the beginning. The song was too simple." Teacher Jang Yun-jeong also did not spare any kind advice to his student. He advised, "The amplitude of the vibration is the same high and low. This feels monotonous. This is a problem that must be overcome."

On the other hand, Choi Su-ho, who lives as an ordinary college student, is on a roll. Because I majored in pansori, the sound is solid and deep. In addition, from the first broadcast, he showed off his warm appearance resembling actor Yoo Yeon-seok, leading fans in their 20s and 30s to a trot version.

When you look at Choi Su-ho, the saying ‘a dragon emerges from a stream’ comes to mind. Even without an existing fandom, he rose to the top solely with his skills and charm. Wouldn't Choi Su-ho be the participant who best suits the planning intention of the audition program 'Mr. Trot 2'?

It is not the second Lim Young-woong or the second Yeong-tak. Suho Choi has enough star quality of his own. The Grim Reaper Park Seon-joo is a person who is highly praised even as he loses his own character. I am happy that a star has been born that fits the purpose of the program.
