Hwang Yun-seong emphasized public appeal, stating, “I believe the melody should be easy and have many repetitions.” After analyzing numerous songs, he chose ‘Nanri Blues’ and took the stage with the goal of making viewers feel the happiest for those three minutes.

True to his ambition to “cause a stir and get a stir-worthy score,” Hwang Yun-seong instantly lifted the mood with his signature bright energy and exciting performance. The addictive chorus and cheerful stage presence led to a passionate response, including sing-alongs from the audience.

In particular, Hwang Yun-seong proved his expertise as a “7-year veteran” with stable live vocals and excellent stage presence. He led the performance perfectly, showcasing unwavering singing skills and natural movement despite the high energy.

The Top Pro team showered him with praise. Nam Jin remarked, “The connection between a singer and a song is crucial. Without it, you can’t hit it big even in 10 years,” adding, “Hwang Yun-seong sang ‘Nanri Blues’ completely in his own style. It’s really going to be a hit.” Yang Se-hyung joked, “It’ll be a jackpot even if he only does half the events nationwide. Congratulations on becoming rich in advance,” while Im Han-byeol praised him, saying, “Choosing what you’re good at is a skill, and delivering a song that fits perfectly, just like the clothes he’s wearing today, is also a skill. It’s touching to feel him doing his best as if it’s his last stage every time.”

Composer Gong Chan-soo also expressed affection, saying, “It must have been hard because the key is high and he had to dance, but he handled it so well. Let’s keep ‘dancing the Nanri Blues’ together.” Hwang Yun-seong scored 495 points from the Top Pro team and, combined with the National Pro team’s votes, reached a total of 799 points, placing 3rd in the first round of the finale and emerging as a strong contender for the win.
