‘Current King of Singers 2’ Park Seo-jin opened up about the controversy over fairness.

On the afternoon of the 12th, a press conference for the MBN survival entertainment program ‘Current King of Singers 2’ was held at the international conference room on the 3rd floor of the Nurikum Square Business Tower in Mapo-gu, Seoul. TOP7 Park Seo-jin, Jin Hae-sung, Enoch, Shin Seung-tae, Choi Su-ho, and Kang Moon-kyung attended the press conference that day.

When asked about the controversy over fairness regarding the ‘Current King of Singers 2’ victory, Park Seo-jin replied, “I’ve seen a lot about the controversy over fairness. So when the ‘Current King of Singers 2’ winner was announced, I thought, ‘This is a big deal.’ While I was waiting for the announcement, I thought, ‘I shouldn’t be the only one.’”

He then said, “Rather than being happy when my name was announced, I thought a lot about this being a big deal. I thought a lot about how I could bear that heavy weight. That‘s why I will work harder and become a singer who is not ashamed when I go to the Korea-Japan King of Singers. If you ask me why I received so many votes, I personally think it’s because I showed something Korean, so I think it‘s because I thought I would be able to promote Korea well in Japan,“ he said.

Meanwhile, ‘Current King of Singers 2’ is a survival entertainment show that selected the top 7 national representatives, Park Seo-jin, Jin Hae-seong, Enoch, Shin Seung-tae, Kim Jun-su, Choi Su-ho, and Kang Moon-kyung, who will advance to the 2025 ‘Korea-Japan King of Singers’. The show ended successfully on Tuesday, February 25, producing the top 7 national representatives, including the second current king of singers, Park Seo-jin.
