Ha Hyun-woo wins 'Hidden Singer 8' final... rises to the top with 58 votes

In episode 7 of JTBC's "Hidden Singer 8," Ha Hyun-woo appeared as the original singer and competed against impersonators. After a full introduction, Ha Hyun-woo confidently stated, "Of course, I'll go with the original key." He said, "That would be difficult for others. It's not just about singing high; you have to sing with substance. But I can even sing lying down," which brought laughter to the studio. Song Eun-i commented, "His arrogance really reaches the sky," and Park Wan-kyu mentioned, "He has both of the two main traits of a rocker: arrogance and bluff." Ha Hyun-woo revealed, "Advancing to round 4 is a given, and in rounds 1, 2, and 3, everyone will recognize me." In a pre-interview, he said, "It definitely won't even sound similar. I even wondered if there was anyone in our country who sings better than me."

In round 2, Ha Hyun-woo's hit song "Stone" was introduced. Ha Hyun-woo shared behind-the-scenes stories about the song, saying, "At first, I was puzzled when I heard the song, and my first impression wasn't very good. It ended up receiving much more love than I expected, and I sang it very comfortably." Song Eun-i said, "Many people probably think of this song first when they think of Ha Hyun-woo. The moment you hear this song, you can picture every scene from 'Itaewon Class.' It's really great. The combined YouTube views are about 37 million." Ha Hyun-woo stated, "There is a saying that a singer follows their own song. In the lyrics of 'Stone,' there is a line that says, 'Look at me, I'm unshaken, I'll get up again.' I will just sing steadily without faltering."

The competition continued until the final round, and the winner was decided as Ha Hyun-woo. Ha Hyun-woo won the final victory by receiving 58 out of 81 votes. He shared his thoughts, saying, "I came with light steps, but I think it made me think once again about the gratitude I had forgotten. I thank the contestants who prepared for a long time."
