Shin Dong-yup will serve as the host for the first round of the main competition, the '1-on-1 On-Site Selection Battle,' on MBN's "Active King 3." Shin Dong-yup takes on the role of the "Fan Uncle," who directly draws fans with the names of active contestants to select their opponents. In this format, Shin Dong-yup randomly picks a fan with an active contestant's name, and the contestant whose name is drawn chooses their opponent.

In the third episode airing on the 6th, there is an incident where Shin Dong-yup energetically opens a fan, but it falls to the floor. The masters cannot hide their surprise and exclaim, "This is ominous. Why did you drop it on the floor? Please change the fan." The participants watch tensely. Shin Dong-yup, looking flustered, says, "I really practiced a lot in the waiting room earlier," and lightens the mood with a witty comment, "Please refrain from zooming in on my ears."

This episode also highlights the stage of the "quiet powerhouse" Gu Soo-kyung. Gu Soo-kyung reveals her desperation, saying she has been "starving for 10 years," and delivers an explosive performance comparable to the preliminaries. Master Lin expresses admiration to Lee Ji-hye, saying, "Unnie, she's in big trouble," about Gu Soo-kyung's stage. Lee Ji-hye also reacts with surprise at Gu Soo-kyung's potential, saying, "Where have you been hiding until now?"

The production team stated that Shin Dong-yup skillfully leads the atmosphere of "Active King 3," delivering a variety of emotions. They also revealed that unexpected dark horses and twist protagonists will appear in episode 3. Attention is focused on whether a new powerhouse like Gu Soo-kyung will emerge in the "strong versus strong" battles.

With Shin Dong-yup's humor and Gu Soo-kyung's powerful stage combined, the broadcast is expected to generate both tension and excitement. As the reactions of the masters and participants draw attention, this episode is anticipated to provide great entertainment for viewers.
