Hwanhee showcased the true flavor of ‘Soul Trot’.
On the night of the 18th, MBN’s ‘Current King of Singers 2’ aired the first round of the finals for the new song mission to select the national representative TOP 7 for the 2025 Korea-Japan King of Singers competition.
On this day, Hwanhee selected ‘Ultima Noche’ (Last Night), written by Ryu Seon-woo and composed by Jang Seung-yeon, and he garnered much anticipation even before the performance with the grand stage set.
Hwanhee captivated everyone from the first note with his unique emotional vocal style, completing a stage that highlighted his sexiness and thrilled the audience.
He showcased a sultry dance with perfect synergy with the dancers and unwavering live performance skills, causing a dopamine explosion and eliciting enthusiastic reactions in the finals.
Joo Hyun-mi, who watched the performance, praised Hwanhee’s trot singing style, saying, “The tone of your voice has completely changed.” Nam Jin, who enjoyed Hwanhee's trot throughout the stage, remarked, “The song and the world change. I want a new style that combines timbre and emotion. Hwanhee is one of the singers suitable for trot, and he is a singer who fits this era and is expected to shine.”
Seol Woon-do encouraged him, saying, “You should avoid genres you’ve done well in. If I were Hwanhee, I wouldn’t have chosen this song. Just being in the finals means you’ve been recognized. I hope you pioneer a new genre.”
