Jang Yoon-jeong's Legendary Stage Performance Goes Viral

MBN's 'Legendary Stars - Trot Showdown' heightens tension by revealing the 'National Song Battle,' the final hurdle for advancing to the semifinals. The 8th episode, airing on the 15th, will feature stages dedicated to the hit songs of legendary singers Choi Baek-ho, Jeon Young-rok, Jang Yoon-jeong, and Kim Jin-ryong, completing an epic lineup with the original artists themselves appearing.

This round consists of the 'Team Medley Battle' and the 'Top Ace Battle.' Only the team that ranks first in the combined scores of both rounds will have all its members advance to the semifinals; the rest will be candidates for elimination. Team Yeon-ho's 'Yeon-ho's Jin-ppong Luxury,' currently in first place, hints at their potential with a lineup focused on current stars like Kang Tae-gwan, Shin Sung, Lee Ru-ne, and Choi Woo-jin. However, Choi Woo-jin's poor condition, after collapsing and being taken to the emergency room before the competition, could become a variable.

Team Tte-chang Republic, led by Lee Chang-min in second place, is betting on a Jeon Young-rok medley. Sung Ri, Hwang Min-woo, and Go Young-tae will join them to present a 'musical-level stage' enhanced with performances and fire shows. However, there's a possibility of facing a crisis due to an unexpected mistake, drawing attention to whether there will be a twist. Team Haru's 'Haru Onjongil,' in third place, has assembled a 'Trot Avengers' team with Park Min-soo, Lee Dae-hwan, Choi Jong-won, and Hwang Yoon-seong. Team Kim Tae-woong's 'Sim-ku-ung Dan,' in fourth place, will showcase intergenerational teamwork with Kim Han-yul, Son Eun-seol, Moon Eun-seok, and Lee Do-jin.

Lastly, Yoo Ji-woo's team, 'Romantic Iji-woo,' composed entirely of unknown artists Jang Han-byul, Lee Woo-jung, and Kwak Hee-seong, will take on a Choi Baek-ho medley. Upon seeing their performance, Choi Baek-ho exclaimed, "To keep such talent hidden among unknowns," offering high praise. The audience reaction was also fervent, with the national jury singing and dancing along, and even Joo Hyun-mi standing up and dancing, a rare sight. Jang Yoon-jeong also reportedly praised the performance, saying, "If I could vote, I would give them 100 points."

The epic scale 'National Song Battle,' where a cliffhanger competition for a spot in the semifinals will unfold, will be broadcast in its first round on the 15th at 9:40 PM.
