In the 23rd episode of TV CHOSUN's 'Miss Trot For You,' titled the "Jewelry Box Special," Heo Chan-mi and Park Ji-hu are set to take the stage as partners. The duo has selected Park Mi-kyung's "A Reason That Doesn't Seem Like a Reason" for a dance performance. Park Ji-hu, who appeared on 'Mr. Trot 3,' revealed that he was unable to form a duet with Heo Chan-mi in the past, but will now join forces with her to perform synchronized choreography. The preview also highlights Park Ji-hu's stage, noting that he has been attending a dance academy to practice since his previous competition. Additionally, Im Chan will appear in the same episode, showcasing a changed appearance and a new song. Im Chan will perform Johnny Lee's "A Warm Goodbye," prompting a reaction from MC Song Eun-i regarding the change in his singing ability. Based on the episode introduction released by TV CHOSUN ahead of its October 29 broadcast, the major stages and stories of the performers are as follows.

TOP7 form partner teams in 'Jewelry Box Special'

The 23rd episode of 'Miss Trot For You,' scheduled to air on October 29, will be presented as the "Jewelry Box Special." The program previewed that the TOP7 will each team up with a partner possessing shining charms to perform on stage. In this episode, Heo Chan-mi's partner is Park Ji-hu from 'Mr. Trot 3.' The two have prepared an energetic dance stage by choosing Park Mi-kyung's "A Reason That Doesn't Seem Like a Reason."

The episode introduction announced not only the formation of the team between Heo Chan-mi and Park Ji-hu but also the appearance of Im Chan, also from 'Mr. Trot 3.' Im Chan is described as appearing with changes in both his appearance and singing skills. While Heo Chan-mi and Park Ji-hu will perform "A Reason That Doesn't Seem Like a Reason," Im Chan will sing Johnny Lee's "A Warm Goodbye." The episode is titled the "Jewelry Box Special," and the performance details for each participant are contained in the introductory materials released before the broadcast.

Two who missed each other at the April Duet Song Festival

Park Ji-hu mentioned a past event that occurred before he became partners with Heo Chan-mi in this episode. He revealed the past incident, stating, "I was rejected by Chan-mi." According to the introductory materials, the story began at the Duet Song Festival held this past April. At that time, Park Ji-hu chose Heo Chan-mi as his duet partner, but Heo Chan-mi chose Chu Hyeok-jin. As a result, the two did not form a pair on that stage. The expression "I was rejected" used by Park Ji-hu in this episode refers to the fact that he failed to form a team with Heo Chan-mi during the process of selecting duet partners at the time.

In this "Jewelry Box Special," the two finally form a team. Heo Chan-mi and Park Ji-hu, who chose different partners and did not stand on stage together at the past Duet Song Festival, are now paired up. They are expected to present a stage accompanied by dance while singing Park Mi-kyung's "A Reason That Doesn't Seem Like a Reason." The broadcast preview introduced both the scene where Park Ji-hu speaks of the past and the details of the two preparing a duet performance. The episode will feature the contrast between the April Duet Song Festival, where Heo Chan-mi chose Chu Hyeok-jin, and the two appearing together on stage in episode 23.

Park Ji-hu, who prepared by attending a dance academy

The duet stage by Heo Chan-mi and Park Ji-hu is composed of both singing and dance. The song they selected is Park Mi-kyung's "A Reason That Doesn't Seem Like a Reason." TV CHOSUN previewed that Heo Chan-mi and Park Ji-hu will put on an exciting dance performance to this song. In particular, Park Ji-hu is expected to showcase synchronized choreography with Heo Chan-mi after honing his dance skills. Heo Chan-mi was introduced as the "dance ace," and the preview focused on Heo Chan-mi's performance experience and Park Ji-hu's dance practice as key elements of the stage.

Park Ji-hu was introduced as having practiced dancing at a dance academy following the 'Mr. Trot 3' competition. This stage is presented as an opportunity for him to showcase the practice he has continued since the competition through a duet performance with Heo Chan-mi. The preview materials stated that the two will show synchronized choreography, mentioning Heo Chan-mi's seasoned performance and Park Ji-hu's dance skills together. Specific choreography details regarding the movements the two will use for the stage were not disclosed in the released materials. The data includes the fact that Park Ji-hu practiced dancing at a dance academy and that he will sing "A Reason That Doesn't Seem Like a Reason" with Heo Chan-mi.

Im Chan: Appearance changes and 'A Warm Goodbye' stage

Im Chan is introduced as appearing in this episode with his glasses removed and his hair grown longer. TV CHOSUN reported that he is expected to surprise the cast by honestly revealing that he underwent rhinoplasty. Following the change in appearance, he will also show a different side in his singing. The song Im Chan selected is Johnny Lee's "A Warm Goodbye." The episode introduction explained that, as a trot singer in his ninth year, he will deliver a more powerful and deeper voice. The episode introduces Im Chan's changed appearance by covering both his looks and his singing.

Upon hearing Im Chan's song, MC Song Eun-i is reported to have said, "It's not just the style that has changed, but the singing has changed a lot as well." This remark was introduced as a reaction to not only Im Chan's change in appearance but also his vocal ability. The preview materials sequentially include his appearance with longer hair and no glasses, the part where he reveals his rhinoplasty, and his stage singing the song by Johnny Lee. Im Chan, from 'Mr. Trot 3,' is named as one of the main performers in this "Jewelry Box Special" alongside the Heo Chan-mi and Park Ji-hu duet.

TV CHOSUN has announced that the 23rd episode of 'Miss Trot For You,' the "Jewelry Box Special," will air on October 29 at 10 PM. The episode preview includes the stages of the TOP7 and their partners, the duet performance by Heo Chan-mi and Park Ji-hu, and Im Chan's "A Warm Goodbye" stage.
