These kids are gonna be a big hit.

The collaboration that thrilled all the judges.

Have we ever had a contestant who made Jin-young cry?

Surprising performance by teams made up of contestants unlikely to be together.

Seriously, it was the best.

It was even more exciting than kiss scenes in movies.

We will begin in a moment.

The winner of KPOP STAR season 5 receives $30,000,

and also Hyundai Avante, a global compact car

which has been with KPOP STAR since the first season.

Check this out.

Awesome!

Na Hoon-a's "Home Station"

[Hee-yeol's great world of music where classic, ballad, and even trot music thrive]

That was soulful, indeed! It's got soul.

This is what we're looking for.

I haven't played that song for twenty years almost.

Well,

I'm sorry for distracting the group waiting in behind.

They're the group "Sensibility."

Let's bring in the next group.

You can't get that voice by trying hard or practicing.

You have to be born with it.

I feel like I can see who you are inside.

Mr. Seo,

You'd have to be excused from the kitchen for a while.

Hi guys, please introduce yourselves first.

One two three

Hello.

Numbers begin.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

You can do it!

You can do it!

People next to you-

Do you guys feel more confident or not when you see the other members in your group?

Kyung-deok.

You're the only boy in the group. Do you think you have a shot at winning?

Or are you nervous?

I just hope I can do what I prepared well.

I just hope I can do what I prepared well.

-Regardless of what others do? -Yes.

Alright. First contestant, let's get it.

Hello, I am Ryu Jin from Seoul, and I'm 19 years old.

Jin. Ryu Jin.

I think she's gonna win the first place.

I think Ryu Jin will be the first place winner.

Her voice is so clear and pretty. Sounds so pure.

Her high notes are powerful and resonant.

I really liked it.

You had a pre-screening audition with Antenna and received Hee-yeol's feedback.

So how was it? Learning from Hee-yeol?

How did I feel?

Yes.

It was awesome.

He was much kinder and more detailed than I'd imagined him to be.

Naturally.

He's kind, right?

Very much so.

Hello, I am Ryu Jin from Seoul, and I am 19 years old.

I sang lots of songs in elementary school music textbooks and in commercials.

You know the songs that teachers play to class for students to imitate,

I sang those songs to be recorded and used in class.

Your voice sounds like that of a child in those songs.

Yes.

Because most of the songs are for children, I tend to use babylike voice.

It sounds like a commercial song.

That's because you care about every note and every word.

It doesn't sound natural.

Honestly, you can sing really well.

But I don't want to listen to it again.

People who are used to singing commercial songs

cannot sing a song with their own feeling and thoughts.

They are supposed to follow the direction.

But now you have to sing it your way.

You should find your voice in KPOP STAR.

I will let you pass.

What impressed me the most last time

was how you pronounce each word almost too meticulously.

You don't have to do that.

Nobody speaks hello like, He, loh.

Yes.

You try too hard to convey every words in lyrics and every bit of emotions.

It's a good practice, but you should try to loosen up.

Try to relax and sing. You're a good singer.

I didn't get good reviews.

In some way, I got more criticism.

I've been doing those commercial songs and textbook songs

in order to get close to my dream of being a singer.

But it seems to me now that

all the efforts I've made so far

have actually been working against me.

All the things I believed to be right

turned out to be wrong.

It worries me that I have to give up everything I've worked for.

You chose a very difficult song.

As a singer, songs in which every note is long and stretched are so hard.

If I were to sing this song, I'd be worried so much.

It's hard for everyone.

We'll take into consideration how hard this song is.

So try to relax.

Thank you.

"Come back to me again" by Byeon Jin-seop.

Are you thinking about

coming back to me again?

Because you are unsure of whether I love you or not

are you hovering around me?

even though it can never be same

as the very first moment when our love began

As winter melts away and becomes spring

you can just come back to me.

The time when we were parted

think of it as a long night.

Can't you see how my love for you

is hovering around you.

Why are you hesitating?

Please don't look back.

We have more time to be together

than the time we were away from each other

If you are thinking about coming back to me.

Just the way you are now,

You can just come back to me.

I've seen so many contestants who'd gone to Antenna's pre-screening,

It seems to me that, among all the contestants who'd gone to Antenna,

Ms. Ryu Jin got the most beneficial help from that training.

If I put this in other words,

While Jin-young is like an internist who goes in deeply and

thoroughly evaluates all the symptoms,

I am like a surgeon.

But, Ms. Ryu Jin, it seems like

you've gone to see a psychologist and realize how you should sing, definitely.

I was surprised.

That's because-

in the first round,

I said that you emphasize each word too precisely, as if you were singing

a commercial song, and it'd be hard for you to carry on a song like that.

I was sort of being prejudiced and thought you'd sing like that again,

but contrary to what I thought, you have an amazing power to carry a song.

Thank you.

Besides, I used to listen to this song all the time,

so it was really nice to hear this song again, especially in woman's voice.

-It was spectacular, honest. -Thank you.

Good job.

Oh my gosh, I am so happy.

You're dying to hear what he thinks, right? So am I.

I can't tell what he's thinking. He's usually very obvious.

Really, it's so hard to tell.

I looked at your age first.

Reapplying to college next year?

Yes.

When you're not studying, you hang out with friends, have a glass of beer, right?

No, I went to school a year earlier, so I am not old enough to drink yet.

-She's still underage. -Yes.

If you were old enough to drink,

I'd like to hear you singing when you're a little tipsy.

You're way too clear minded when you sing.

It still sounds like you're trying to please some people in front of you.

You don't sing comfortably like this-

but instead you sound like this-

When you sing a song ten times,

it has to come out differently each time.

I don't get that feeling from you.

But I am certain that you'll sound exactly the same each time.
