tvN STORY ‘Handsome Trot’ has created a new T4 protagonist along with a series of surprising changes in rankings.

In the 8th episode of ‘Handsome Trot’ that aired on the 11th, the first round of the ‘Last T4 Battle’ song request battle took place with the 8 finalists.As it was the last gateway to the final sound source, a more splendid stage and fiercer competition than ever before were unfolded to become T4.

The main character of the stage that made the audience go wild was Ji Seung-hyun.Ji Seung-hyun, who had the T4 benefit of the 3rd round, was able to decide the order of all the stages and was the fourth to go on stage after In Kyo-jin, Lee Tae-ri, and Kim Jun-ho.Ji Seung-hyun’s transformation after selecting Jo Seung-goo’s ‘Flower Wind Lady’ was amazing.Ji Seung-hyun received dance lessons directly from Cha Hyun-seung, who is famous for ‘Sunmi Dancer’, and showed off an exciting stage, drawing an explosive response from the T -100 audience judges.The on-site response became even hotter as she showed off her signature low-mid range charm and even gave the audience a flower gift event during the stage.

Next, Choo Sung Hoon, the ‘man of winning streak’ who has made it to T4 for three consecutive times, came up on stage and passionately sang Na Hoon-a’s ‘Love’ in his own style.Choo Sung Hoon said that it was a song that his uncle loved to sing and said, “I chose it because I thought my uncle, whom I haven’t seen in 10 years, might like it if he saw me singing.” Choo Sung Hoon’s charming tone and the sound of his own whistle increased the immersion of the stage, and he added Japanese lyrics to differentiate it from the original song, adding to the perfection of the stage.Choo Sung Hoon received 90 points from all five judges, and Yoon Il Sang especially showered him with praise, saying, “How can this guy be an amateur?”

Handsome contestant Hyunwoo made a bold move with Jang Minho’s “Men Speak.” Hyunwoo, who received a lot of advice from the original singer, trot producer Jang Minho, showed his best performance despite his poor condition.Jang Minho also praised him, saying, “You’ve really improved a lot,” but Hyunwoo shed tears of regret.Hyunwoo said, “I didn’t understand when someone cried on a competition program, but now that I’ve experienced it in real life, I can’t stand it without crying,” conveying his true feelings about survival.


The next star of the stage was ‘Lee Chan-won’s one-pick ‘Kim Dong-ho.He performed a dance song’ Twist Go Go ‘by his mentor Lee Chan-won on stage and showed a stage where he could interact with the audience.He poured all his know-how as a musical actor, and his wife, Hello Venus’ Yoonjo, did not spare her applause for his exciting stage like a festival.Lee Chan-won also did not spare his praise, saying, “It was a flawless stage.I am grateful as the original singer.”

The final stage in the fluctuating rankings was also unveiled.Choi Dae-cheol, known as the ultimate vocal king, presented a stage dedicated to his wife who supported him during his 10 years of obscurity.Ahead of his 30th anniversary with his wife next year, he selected Kim Jung-soo’s “You” and presented a thrilling stage with his goosebump-inducing skills.Choi Dae-cheol’s wife also showed a tearful expression, adding to the emotion.Choi Dae-cheol shed tears at the applause from his close friend, actor Jo Sung-ha, saying, “I’m grateful that someone said, ‘You worked hard.’” The judges gave him the highest score, saying that it was a near-perfect stage, and Choi Dae-cheol took first place in an interim result that overwhelmed the seven challengers.

The reversal was not the end.The important variable that shook up the rankings was not reflected.Choo Sung-hoon, who was in the T4 of the 3rd round, chose ‘40 bonus points’, Kim Jun-ho chose ‘30 points taken away’, and In Kyo-jin chose ‘30 points deducted’, which created a tense atmosphere as the rankings changed drastically due to the benefits.In Kyo-jin deducted points from Ji Seung-hyun, who placed him first, and Kim Jun-ho took 30 points away from Hyun-woo, creating a truly great reversal.

The final ranking was announced by adding up the judges ‘scores(500 points), the T4 benefit from the 3rd round, and T -100 judges’ scores(500 points)which are the audience scores.As a result, Choi Dae-cheol was named the protagonist who took first place in the final ranking.Choi Dae-cheol achieved the miracle of first place by receiving high scores from both the judges and the audience even without the benefit of the T4 from the 3rd round.Choo Sung-hoon took second place, Kim Dong-ho took third place, and Kim Jun-ho took fourth place, announcing the birth of a new T4.

Meanwhile, in the next broadcast, the second round of the ‘Last T4 War’ will be a battle of new songs, and only four trot stars will be born.As it turns out, curiosity is rising as to who will be the unexpected T4 who will take over the new song by composer Yoon Il-sang and the coma.
