Yongbin Kim wins decisively with the highest score on 'War of the Trot Kings'


Kim Yong-bin achieved a complete victory by scoring the highest points in the special episode of "War of the Trot Kings." The August 28 broadcast of TV CHOSUN's "Love Call Center - Seven Stars" (hereafter "Love Call Seven") was themed as the "War of the Trot Kings" special, featuring Jo Hang-jo and Jin Sung, representatives of the Korean trot scene, as special guests. The TOP7 members were divided into the "Jo Hang-jo family" and the "Jin Sung family," fiercely competing for the honor of each clan.

The broadcast recorded a nationwide Nielsen Korea rating of 3.9%. This ranked first among all channels during the same time slot, including terrestrial, general programming, and cable channels, as well as first place for daily general programming and cable, and first place overall for Thursday entertainment shows. The peak rating reached 4.4%. Despite fierce competition in Thursday entertainment, "Love Call Seven" maintained its unshakable first place position for 17 consecutive weeks.

In the first match, Mi Cheonrokdam chose Jin Sung's "My Woman." From the first note, she amazed everyone by showcasing a vocal style and tone similar to the original singer. Jin Sung himself expressed admiration for her excellent interpretation, saying, "I was almost confused whether this was my song." The cast joked, "We need to do a DNA test." In response, Seon Son-bin-a from the opposing team performed Jo Hang-jo's "Love Sickness" with heartfelt emotion but narrowly lost to Cheonrokdam, who scored a high 98 points. The "Jo Hang-jo family," having secured the first win, gained momentum and took control of the atmosphere.

An unexpected showdown between Jo Hang-jo and Jin Sung was arranged. Jin Sung demonstrated the essence of traditional trot with "Salt Flower," while Jo Hang-jo conveyed the sophisticated emotion and depth of ballad trot with his new song "While I'm Like This." Their performances served as great examples for the TOP7. The episode also featured special duet stages: Jo Hang-jo and Kim Yong-bin's "Like Adam and Eve," and Jin Sung and Son Bin-a's "Empty Air." These showcased perfect harmony between the new and old trot emperors, adding emotional depth.

Following Cheonrokdam's momentum boost for the "Jo Hang-jo family" in the first match, Kim Yong-bin scored the highest points and secured consecutive victories. The match between Kim Yong-bin and Nam Seung-min sparked laughter even before it began due to their playful banter. Nam Seung-min shouted, "Down with Kim Yong-bin!" and provocatively said, "I'll surprise you with the traditional trot that Yong-bin hyung is best at." Kim Yong-bin retorted, "You're the only one close; I'm not," teasing his opponent.

Nam Seung-min went on stage first, challenging with Lee Mi-ja's "Mother's Love," but scored 87 points, leaving him disappointed. In contrast, Kim Yong-bin delivered a deeply emotional performance of Jung Mi-jo's "Gaeyeoul," earning 99 points and a decisive victory. Jo Hang-jo praised him, saying, "Yong-bin's singing has improved. He's gained more emotion."

The final round featured a duel between the duo Chun-gil & Chu Hyuk-jin and Choi Jae-myung. Choi Jae-myung performed Woo Yeon's "By Chance" with a cheeky performance, showcasing the charm of the TOP7's next-generation dance prince. Then, Chun-gil and Chu Hyuk-jin passionately sang Green Zone's "Unprepared Farewell" with powerful vocals, scoring 98 points and securing a valuable win for the "Jin Sung family."

This broadcast left a strong impression on viewers with the outstanding skills of each participant and spectacular stage productions. This special episode, which fully displayed the charm of trot, is expected to continue achieving high ratings in future broadcasts.
