Hwanhee completely changed his singing style… even dabbles in authentic trot (King of Singers 2)

Hwanhee has been reborn as a trot singer in ‘King of Singers 2’.

On the 8th episode of MBN ‘King of Singers 2’ that aired on the 21st, the 2nd round of the 3rd round of the main competition was held.

In the 1st round of the 3rd round of the main competition, Hwanhee was in the upper ranks with an intermediate ranking of 7th place. Before going on stage, Hwanhee visited his hometown and heard his mother‘s honest evaluation. Hwanhee’s mother gave an honest and witty answer, saying, “It doesn‘t really sound like R&B. It doesn’t really sound like trot either.”.

For this competition, Hwanhee chose Na Hoon-a‘s ‘Samo’, an authentic trot song. As he has been loved for a long time as a representative vocalist of R&B, he still has his own R&B singing style, which stimulated the curiosity of viewers about how he would express the song.

However, Hwanhee completely put down his own emotional R&B singing style on this stage and decorated the stage by reinterpreting the authentic trot in his own style. His deep emotion and rich inner strength maximized the emotional line of the song, and once again reminded us of his appearance as the crown prince of trot.

Seol Woon-do, the celebrity master who watched Hwanhee’s stage, responded to Hwanhee‘s efforts by saying, “Thank you. I think he is a precious person because he will be able to write a new history for our trot in the future.” Celebrity master Nam Jin also did not spare his praise, saying, “With this voice and this emotion, he is a singer who is highly anticipated in the future.”

On this day, Hwanhee received 339 points out of 360 from the celebrity judges, immediately settling in the upper ranks. Hwanhee, who came down from the stage in a good mood after perfectly performing the traditional trot in his own style, shared his thoughts full of laughter, saying, “I was worried because it was my first time trying it, but I’m so happy that people noticed my little effort.”

MBN‘s ‘Current King of Singers 2’, which Hwanhee appears in, airs every Tuesday at 9:50 p.m.
