Singer Masaya lost to Park Seo-jin.
The third round of the finals, which decorated the finale of the fierce competition for the pride of the top 7 from Korea and Japan, was depicted in the MBN broadcast of ‘2025 Korea-Japan King Competition’ on the 30th.
On this day, Masaya chose Park Seo-jin as his opponent. Before the stage, Masaya expressed his determination, saying, "Didn’t the Japanese king Yudai lose to the Korean team? This time, the Japanese team will defeat the Korean king."
Masaya selected the song 'I Will Go to You Like the First Snow', which is the OST of the drama 'Goblin'. Notably, Masaya attracted attention by learning Korean for this competition.
Yoon Myung-sun praised, "The song 'I Will Go to You Like the First Snow' chosen by Masaya is one of the most difficult songs. He really struggled to interpret this challenging Korean song. Masaya's performance, despite the different nationality, evokes a touching feeling."
However, Masaya lost to Park Seo-jin, who scored 51 points. As the situation where the victory or defeat was decided by just a 1-point difference occurred for the third time, Atsuko was surprised and said, "Please stop. Why is it such a subtle difference?"
