“These days, young friends keep coming up, and it’s really scary.”
16-year-old Kim Da-hyun, who is in her second year of high school, makes a shocking statement on MBN’s ‘Hanil Top Ten Show’ as she tries to keep an eye on the ‘Trot Genius’ 13-year-old Bin Ye-seo.
The ‘Hanil Top Ten Show’ airing on the 20th will feature a special segment called ‘Introducing Skilled Friends’ with top little talents, the Trot world’s Lee Hyori, and versatile vocalists, alongside the ‘Top Ten Show’ members. Exceptional singing talents will gather to compete and present a fantastic stage that captivates the eyes and ears.
In this context, Kim Da-hyun expresses her surprise and bittersweet feelings after witnessing Bin Ye-seo’s powerful performance, making the scene burst into laughter. As Bin Ye-seo showcases the essence of perfect Trot singing, Kim Da-hyun candidly shares, “These days, young friends... sing so well, and they keep coming up, it’s really scary.” However, when Byul Sarang laments, “Da-hyun, does that mean we should retire?” Kim Da-hyun’s flustered reaction brings about another wave of laughter.
In particular, Bin Ye-seo causes a stir by mentioning the mysterious term ‘Shin.Ggeok.Jeong’ towards ‘Enka Prodigy’ Aki. What could the meaning of ‘Shin.Ggeok.Jeong’ be? Expectations rise for the stage of these teenage prodigies, including not only Bin Ye-seo and Aki but also the ‘original prodigy’ Kim Da-hyun, who showcases their impressive abilities.
Meanwhile, Lin bursts into tears after listening to the song of handsome singer Lim Han-byeol, getting caught up in misunderstandings about ‘menopause’. Lim Han-byeol, known as one of the ‘Four Kings of R&B Ballads’ alongside ‘Kim, Na, Park, Lee’ (Kim Bum-soo, Naul, Park Hyo-shin, Lee Soo), makes a surprise appearance in the ‘Introducing Skilled Friends’ special. He chooses MC the Max’s ‘Love is Meant to Hurt’ and sings with poignant emotion and explosive vocal power, causing Lin to tear up. When MC Kangnam comments, “Lin, you keep crying. At this rate, it’s menopause,” Lin bursts into tears again.
Additionally, ‘R&B Sensation Queen’ Lin and ‘Top Three Vocalists’ Lim Han-byeol shake the scene with an unprecedented duet performance. The deep resonance and emotional delivery of Lin, combined with Lim Han-byeol’s rich vocal power and soaring high notes, draw attention to the impact and lingering feelings they will convey.
The production team stated, “Watching the performances of these naturally talented teenage prodigies alongside Lin and Lim Han-byeol will surely elicit exclamations of ‘They are truly skilled’,” adding, “A joyful ‘ear-healing’ stage that cannot be found anywhere else will unfold. Please look forward to it.”
‘Hanil Top Ten Show’ features active singers from Korea and Japan competing in a music variety show, selecting hidden gems from both countries, including Trot, K-pop, and J-pop, and engaging in fierce musical battles. ‘Hanil Top Ten Show’ will air on the 20th at 9:30 PM.
