Hidden Singer 8 Lee Hae-ri Impersonator Loses

Davichi's Lee Haeri appeared on JTBC's 'Hidden Singer 8' to compete against impersonators. Despite the largest audience in the show's history, Lee Haeri struggled with consistently low rankings, but her bandmate Kang Minkyung accurately identified her in every round, setting a historic first for 'Hidden Singer' with a 'member's voice all-kill across all rounds'.

Lee Haeri of Davichi, a duo with 19 years in the industry, warned of a difficult performance, stating, "I've never seen an impersonator before." MC Jun Hyun-moo heightened the tension by mentioning previous contestants who were eliminated. Kang Minkyung confidently declared, "If I get even one round wrong, I'll quit Davichi," and the celebrity panel also showed a confident attitude. However, confusion began from the first round.

The results were unexpected. As Kang Minkyung predicted, Lee Haeri was contestant number 2, but the original singer, Lee Haeri, ended up in 4th place. Lee Haeri was shocked by the skill of the impersonators and barely passed the second round, also placing 4th. A significant portion of the panel pointed to Lee Haeri as 'the least like Lee Haeri,' drawing laughter.

Lee Haeri narrowly passed the third round in 3rd place and made a self-deprecating joke, "Has anyone else ever scraped by like this?" However, Kang Minkyung, unwavering, accurately picked out Lee Haeri from the first to the fourth round, achieving the record of 'member's voice all-kill across all rounds'.

Behind-the-scenes stories from Davichi's early debut were also revealed during the broadcast. Lee Haeri shared her practice process from majoring in piano to becoming a vocalist, and Kang Minkyung shared an anecdote about her first impression as a "beauty from the internet." Lee Haeri recalled seeing Kang Minkyung for the first time and saying, "She really looked like a beauty," while Kang Minkyung described Lee Haeri as "looking plain," which elicited laughter. The behind-the-scenes story of Lee Mi-yeon and Lee Hyori appearing in their debut song's music video was also revealed.
