[SPOTV News reporter Kim Won-gyeom] First champion Jeon Yu-jin and second champion Park Seo-jin will return to the stage together to celebrate the crowning of the show’s third champion.
The live finale of 'Hyun-yeok Gawang 3,' airing at 9:40 p.m. on the 10th, will also determine the top seven national representatives who will compete in the 2026 Korea–Japan showdown. A live text vote, worth 1,200 of the 4,000 total points (30%), will take place during the broadcast, setting the stage for an intense viewer voting battle.
For the final-round second-stage match, stars from Seasons 1 and 2 — including Jeon Yu-jin and Park Seo-jin — will deliver a special performance to honor the incoming third champion. Jeon and Park will perform "Baraem," blending their voices into a refined duet that underscores the stature of past champions and elicits cheers of “We missed you!” from the audience.
Season 1 standouts Jeon Yu-jin, Maijin, Kim Da-hyun, Lyn and Byeolsarang will present a fresh, charming set, while Season 2 regulars Park Seo-jin, Enoch, Shin Seung-tae, Kim Jun-su and Choi Su-ho will follow with upbeat, smile-inducing performances. The casts from both seasons will close with a high-energy joint dance that promises to explode with excitement.
As a master judge, Enoch will attempt an impromptu confession toward one active contestant after that performer’s final stage in the second-round finale. While delivering feedback, he admits, “I don’t know why my heart is beating this fast,” revealing a genuinely fluttering sentiment.
Host Shin Dong-yup fires back: “You think this person will do well, so you’re confessing out of the blue?” — a line that sends the studio into laughter. After watching a contestant’s performance, Lyn is visibly stunned, saying, “I’m flustered. Really,” and, “They must be crazy — seriously,” leaving everyone curious about what provoked such a reaction.
Before the finale, Jeon Yu-jin and Park Seo-jin urged viewers to vote: “We’re eager to see who will succeed us as the third champion. The crown is heavy, but representing Korea in the Korea–Japan championship as an active artist is an incredible honor and a chance to grow.”
Producers said on the 10th: “Bringing together the leading stars from different seasons is an emotionally powerful moment in itself. We thank the artists who have given their all through every round up to the final. Today, viewers will help crown a historic third champion — please join us for that moment.”
MBN’s 'Hyun-yeok Gawang 3' is a survival music program that assembles top active singers across genres to compete for a national team spot. The 12th and final episode will be broadcast live at 9:40 p.m. on the 10th.
