Survival Audition KPOP Star S4 / K-pop Star 4 (서바이벌 오디션 K팝 스타 시즌4)

Survival Audition KPOP Star

The timbre group's heated battle from last week!

I'll be an Esther addict this season.

You sing really well. You're an instrument.

Kang Pureum and Esther Kim were praised by the judges.

The battle continued with others who appealed with their own timbre.

Not one thing was new.

You have emotion but you try to pronounce clearly.

It felt like you were losing your charm.

Woo Nyeong-In and Seo Ye-An who were praised in Round 1 remain.

How many will survive from the timbre group?

The final episode for the Ranking Audition begins now!

The winner of KPOP STAR Season 4 is awarded a cash prize of $300,000

And receive a Korean compact sedan that is loved around the world.

She really moved us in Round 1.

The Bob Dylan song?

How did you feel being complimented by all three judges in Round 1?

I didn't expect it but I was happy to be complimented.

It was like a dream.

I took out my "pass" card the next morning to confirm it was true.

I have another goal since I reached my goal of passing Round 1.

I want to show something different in Round 2.

I put away my guitar to show more of my singing.

So I chose Noh Young-Chae's "I Love You More."

I thought I could focus more on singing since this is a ballad.

I want to hear from the judges that I improved in singing.

We look forward to it...

- Can I drink some water? - Sure. Drink a lot.

[I Love You More - Noh Young-Chae]

Thank you.

All three of us have such good memories of you from Round 1.

But you're in a crisis for this Ranking Audition.

Completely.

Bob Dylan's song was very calm but it moved us endlessly.

Noh Young-Chae's song is a typical ballad and you just completely disappeared.

What's appealing about you?

We might be able to find out who you are depending on the result of this round.

That will be decided after our discussion.

Thank you for singing.

I don't wear clothes like You Hee-Yeol or YG.

I look strange if I wear traditional clothes because of my looks.

People are taken aback if I wear a suit or a t-shirt with Mickey Mouse on it.

You are like that in singing.

You suddenly became normal when singing a typical ballad.

Woo Nyeong-In from Round 1 disappeared with this song.

You have to consider your song choice due to your unique individuality.

What JYP said is right.

It's like someone looks good in a suit but really strange in a hoodie.

This is my commentary for this song.

You have power in your voice.

But...

...you don't know how to utilize it.

She sang loud where you didn't have to and wasn't able to where you had to.

You weren't able to balance that so you failed in singing a song.

You could've done better with that great, powerful voice.

It was a pity because I know you could do better. Good job though.

Thank you.

Now it's our last contestant for the timbre group.

It's Seo Ye-An.

- Glad to meet you. - Hello.

I want to see her dance one more time.

No, no, no.

- I really want to see that dance. - It's addicting and unexplainable.

Please show it to us.

I told her during 1:1 that she can show it if she passes this round.

It'll be funny if she dances but I told her to pass with her singing skills.

I told her to show her dance if she passes this round.

She can't show it according to the plan.

That's a good plan. I might pass her because I want to see it.

Let's hear it.

What place will you be?

Last.

- Why the lack of confidence? - I don't lack confidence.

It was just hard.

I met many people here in this big place and heard them sing.

I realized there are many who sing well.

I'm in the bad group. Actually, I was the worst.

I felt depressed and thought this is as far as I go.

I don't know.

I didn't sing well but the good reaction I got in Round 1 is making me burdened.

I'm singing Crush's "Hug Me."

I wanted to sing as if whispering to my boyfriend so I chose this song.

I'm not dancing and people can't get caught in the heat of the moment.

I'm really worried...

...because I'm judged solely on singing.

[Hug Me - Crush]

- Ye-An? - Yes?

Were you really nervous this time?

Yes.

Why did you tremble so much when you didn't in the last round?

I trembled as much last round.

Really? Did it stand out more since you had to be delicate?

You just need to put in effort.

You have what's most important. You're like a new generation singer.

You sing in your speaking voice and don't distort your voice.

Your voice is soft because that's how your voice is.

I like your guts in not trying to make your voice sound deep.

I also like how you sing in your speaking voice but...

...how can you keep on trembling?

One skill that is as important as singing is staying calm.

You should be able to stay calm.

You're eliminated if you sing like today.

It's uneasy to listen because you're trembling.

I'm worried about that.

There's a solution for that.

You didn't tremble last time singing Ariana Grande's "Problem."

You sang Crush's "Hug Me" in an R&B; ballad style.

What's the problem?

You're a born dancing singer.

You sang a dance song last time. You danced and rapped.

The blood of a dancing singer is flowing inside of you.

Prepare a dance song for the next round.

Okay.

I want to see your dance.

I enjoyed it.

I said during 1:1 that she sang like a Korean-American.

And that it interferes with conveying the feeling of the song, right?

Yes.

That's what I focused on.

Like what JYP said, your voice is clear and you're not trying to sound that way.

Your voice is like a glass bead.

It's sparkling but it feels like you're sandpapering it.

That's how you pronounce it.

That got on my nerves.

I hope you do less of that.

You have a beautiful voice and sing very well.

- Good job. - Thank you.

Please wait as we decide on the ranks.

These two pass for sure.

We have to think about these three.

We have decided.

The entire group can pass or get eliminated in the Ranking Audition.

It took less than a second to choose first and second places.

Esther Kim, stand to the left.

[1st - "I'm Not the Only One" Esther Kim]

The three of us praised you. Congratulations.

Thank you.

Second is Kang Pureum.

[2nd - "Painting Spring" Kang Pureum]

Third is...

Third is...

...Seo Ye-An.

[3rd - "Hug Me" Seo Ye-An]

Fourth is...

...Woo Nyeong-In.

[4th - "I Love You More" Woo Nyeong-In]

Fifth is...

...Chu Jiyoon.

[5th - "Still Beautiful" Chu Jiyoon]

Lee Jung-Wook is sixth and Lee Hee-Joo is seventh.

Some parts were a pity.

But we chose the ones we want to see again in the next round.

Those advancing are...
