Liberante Jinwon left a hot impression on the ‘King of Mask Singer’ stage.

Tenor Jinwon of the crossover group Liberante appeared on MBC ‘King of Mask Singer’ as ‘Balance King’.

In the first round, he sang Lee Juck’s “Thank goodness” with delicate emotions and won an overwhelming victory of 87 to 12, receiving praise that he was “like a prince from Disney.” In the second round, he displayed a deeper emotional line with Kim Bum-soo’s “How to Use Sadness,” but unfortunately, he was eliminated.

After the identity was revealed, the scene was filled with surprise when it was revealed that Jinwon was a member of the winning team Liberante from ‘Phantom Singer 4’.The stage composition that restrained his vocalization and attempted a unique singing style garnered attention as his new challenge.

In particular, the fact that Jinwon is the cousin of singer Son Taejin also attracted attention.Son Taejin cheered on Jinwon’s performance, saying, “It is the culmination of his efforts to hide his own colors,” and the family history of supporting each other added to the warmth.

The opera aria ‘Nessun dorma’, which was performed briefly, left a deep impression with its explosive vocal power and deep resonance.Jinwon expressed his gratitude to the fans, saying, “This stage filled with emotion will remain in your memory for a long time.”

Meanwhile, Liberante, which Jinwon is a part of, will release the single ‘PASSIONE’ on the 27th and will hold a solo concert at Yonsei University’s Centennial Memorial Hall from May 31st to June 1st.
