Hong Ji-yoon, a singer affiliated with Choi Lab, drew enthusiastic responses from viewers with her outstanding stage manners and vocal skills on MBN's 'Active King 3 Gala Show.' On the broadcast aired on the 24th, Hong Ji-yoon appeared wearing a mermaid-line long dress, showcasing an enchanting presence. She carefully observed the reactions of the audience and viewers, demonstrating a relaxed stage performance.

Hong Ji-yoon sang Kim Yong-im's 'Sarangnim,' enlivening the atmosphere with her deep voice honed by traditional Korean music and her unique vocal inflections. In the chorus, she delivered unwavering, clear high notes, receiving a warm response. Using hand movements and gestures that matched the lyrics, she heightened the stage immersion and proved the dignity of a 'King of Singers.'

Next, Hong Ji-yoon performed 'Only You for Me' with 'Song of Boeun.' Wearing a burgundy evening dress adorned with bead decorations, she maximized the song's emotion with her poignant tone and expressive singing style. Through facial expressions and gestures visually expressing the pain of parting, she perfectly harmonized vocal ability, emotion, and visuals.

Hong Ji-yoon spent after-party time with Kang Hye-yeon and Koo Soo-kyung, meeting Shin Seung-tae. She revealed that the first person to contact her after winning 'Active King 3' was Kim Serena and attracted attention by disclosing that the cost invested in stage production was equivalent to the price of a somewhat old foreign car.

Ahead of the 'Korea-Japan King Battle,' Hong Ji-yoon said, "My heart swells and boils. I don't want to lose." She expressed her determination, saying, "I want to sing Korean-style songs. I want to promote the charm of Korea to the extent that Japanese people will think, 'So this is what Korea has.'"

Meanwhile, as the winner of 'Active King 3,' Hong Ji-yoon will perform at the 'Active King 3' TOP10 Seoul Concert held twice each day at 1 PM and 6 PM on the 28th and 29th at Kyung Hee University Peace Hall. This concert will start in Seoul and continue as a nationwide tour.
