K-POP STAR SEASON 2 has made a grand closing with the final victor, Akdong Musician.
SBS’s survival audition program ‘K-POP STAR’ is the Korean reality TV competition show to find the next hit K-pop star from around the world. It is the live audition show known with an impressive panel of judges from the “big three” entertainment agencies in Korea: CEO of YG Entertainment Hyun Suk Yang, CEO of JYP Enetertainment Jin Young Park, and K-Pop Princess BoA of SM Entertainment.
After a highly successful first episode with the top 3 winners(JiMin Park, Lee Hi, and Baek Ah Yeon) already debuted, K-POP STAR SEASON 2 presented the two finalists, Akdong Musician and Bang Ye Dam, for the last competition today.
The last two contestants performed two songs each: a song that had been performed by the other contestant, and a song chosen by the judges. Akdong Musician staged “MmmBop” by Hanson and “Hot Goodbye” by Toy, whereas Bang Ye Dam performed “Officially Missing You” by Tamia and “Karma Chameleon” by Culture Club.
