Shin Seung-tae, Kim Junsu, and Choi Su-ho from 'Hanil Top Ten Show' will form 'Uljjang Boys', parodying the 'Lion Boys' from 'K-Pop Demon Hunters'.
The MBN 'Hanil Top Ten Show', airing on the 12th, will feature a star-studded all-star match where active singers are divided into a 30s OB team and a 20s YB team. The OB team, with an average age of 35.5, includes Park Seo-jin, Jin Hae-sung, Enoch, Shin Seung-tae, Kim Junsu, and Kang Moon-kyung, while the YB team consists of Jeon Yu-jin, Kim Da-hyun, Choi Su-ho, Shin Seong, Hwang Min-ho, Aki, and Saki.
First, Park Seo-jin and Jeon Yu-jin raise cheers with an ambitious oath stating, "The members of 'Hanil Top Ten Show' pledge to uphold the pride and dignity of Korea's representative active singers, to tear it up with our singing ability, to burn it with our dance, and to generously showcase our stage manners, charisma, and excitement."
However, when MC Daesung announces the criteria for dividing the OB and YB teams, Park Seo-jin questions, "Wait a minute. Why am I in the OB team?" Daesung responds, "We divided them exactly into 20s and 30s," which leaves Park Seo-jin embarrassed as his age is displayed next to him. Jin Hae-sung's remark, "Why aren't you accepting it?" leads to a hilarious reaction from Park Seo-jin, causing laughter in the studio.
Additionally, representing 'Hanil Top Ten Show', the 'Gugak Avengers' Shin Seung-tae, Kim Junsu, and Choi Su-ho form 'Uljjang Boys' and engage in a historic 'unit debut battle', igniting excitement in the studio. With the appearance of handsome men averaging 180cm tall, there were mixed opinions about the unit name, "Is it because they have good looks?" However, the three explain that it means "In search of our spirit - our spirit is the best," which nods in agreement from everyone.
Choosing a 'Paldo Folk Song Medley', Kim Junsu takes the stage alone and captivates the audience from the first note. After Kim Junsu's opening, Shin Seung-tae appears playing the gong, and Choi Su-ho shows up with a drum, stealing everyone's attention. True to their title as 'Gugak Avengers', they deliver a harmonious performance, leading to cheers of "This team could just perform as is," followed by an 'encore' call from the audience. It raises curiosity about whether the three can successfully debut as a unit and what the identity of the 'Heung Hunters', who are competing against them for the unit debut, will be.
Meanwhile, an unexpected 'brotherly hierarchy confusion' incident occurs at the scene, bringing laughter. Jin Hae-sung, who is significantly older, appears in a trio with Enoch and Shin Seong, but they seem to have a similar presence on stage.
Moreover, right after Park Seo-jin comments, "Hae-sung hyung had the most commanding stage," MC Kangnam adds, "Hae-sung hyung has a strong presence," causing Jin Hae-sung to awkwardly respond, "Kangnam hyung." Even MC Daesung is surprised, saying, "Isn't Hae-sung a hyung?" Jin Hae-sung replies, "Born in 1990, Year of the Horse," leaving Kangnam wide-eyed and speechless, making everyone burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, 'Hanil Top Ten Show' is a high-quality 'music entertainment show' where active singers selected from national auditions such as 'Current King of Singers 1', 'Current King of Singers 2', 'Hanil King of Singers', and 'Burning Trotman' compete across genres including trot, ballad, pop, jazz, classical, K-POP, and J-POP. It airs every Tuesday at 9:50 PM.
