In the 20th episode of TV CHOSUN's 'Miss Trot For You' broadcast on October 8, the 'Real Man, Real Woman' special finals competition took place. Five teams that advanced to the finals, including the 'Shy Bearded Uncle' team Yeom Yu-ri X Han Da-seong, who are challenging for a 3rd consecutive win, competed for the King's seat. Amidst stages that left no room for concession from the duet battles to the individual battles, Yeom Yu-ri X Han Da-seong grabbed the victory with a final score of 383 points. In particular, the two completed a dramatic match by beating the 'Goudieus' team Lee So-na X Koo Soo-kyung by only 2 points.
The opening of the 1st round duet battle on this day was led by the 'Full of Aegyo Real Woman' team Gil Ryeo-won X Hyeon-jeong. The song they chose was Kim Jong-hwan's 'For Love'. After bringing laughter with their cheeky dance moves, they revealed a reversal charm with sweet, beautiful voices. The two, who had advanced to the finals as the 1st place winners in the preliminaries, tasted bitterness by remaining at the bottom with 181 points in the 1st round.
Next, the 'Hey Kids, Unnie is Here' team Huh Chan-mi X Seo Ji-o faced off with Min Hae-kyung's 'The Face I Want to See'. Before the main stage, it was revealed that Seo Ji-o and Song Eun-i were colleagues at the 1991 MBC Riverside Song Festival, surprising everyone. The two, reuniting after as many as 35 years, shared their joy while recalling memories from that time. Seo Ji-o added more surprise by revealing that Song Eun-i used to sing so well that she was called the 'Second Lee Seon Hee'.
In the stage that followed, the captivating dance lines of Seo Ji-o and Huh Chan-mi shone. The two shook the audience with hot hip dances and unrivaled vocals. Chun-gil expressed admiration, saying, "I think I fell for senior Seo Ji-o," and highly praised that Huh Chan-mi would follow in Seo Ji-o's footsteps to continue the lineage of sexy divas. The two grabbed 182 points.
The 'Goudieus' team Lee So-na X Koo Soo-kyung made their move with Insooni's 'Again'. The two, who sang of the sorrows of their unknown days in the previous preliminaries, poured out intense passion this time. They shook the venue with powerful vocals that seemed to pierce the roof. When the stage ended, Lee So-na was breathing heavily, and Seo Ji-o acknowledged their skill by saying she would give them 1 point more than their actual score. Ultimately, the two jumped to the lead by acquiring a whopping 193 points. The unexpected high score put the King's seat holders Yeom Yu-ri X Han Da-seong on high alert.
The 'Gimhae Tedious' team Yoon Tae-hwa X Jeong Hong-il presented an intense rock stage with Cherry Filter's 'Romantic Cat'. Jeong Hong-il, who showed sorrowful emotions in the previous preliminaries, returned to his true self as a rocker on this day, releasing raw energy. Yoon Tae-hwa also achieved perfect harmony with Jeong Hong-il with refreshing high notes and rock spirit. After their stage ended, encore requests erupted from the audience. The two recorded 190 points and joined the competition for victory.
Finally, the 'Shy Bearded Uncle' team Yeom Yu-ri X Han Da-seong, who are challenging for a 3rd consecutive win, took the stage. Han Da-seong expressed her extraordinary determination, saying, "I practiced without sleeping." The song the two chose was Jung Hoon-hee's 'Fog'. While previous teams competed with flashy performances, Yeom Yu-ri and Han Da-seong immersed the audience with delicate emotional lines and deep expressive power. At the stage, which was like watching a single play, tears burst out from various parts of the audience.
Seo Ji-o praised them, saying, "I could feel the unique strength of the two even within their restrained expression." Chun-gil brought laughter by mentioning having stood on stage instead of Yeom Yu-ri previously, saying, "One of the best things I did this year was contributing to this team's challenge for a 3rd consecutive win." Yeom Yu-ri X Han Da-seong acquired 193 points and advanced to the individual battle as joint 1st place with Lee So-na X Koo Soo-kyung.
In the subsequent 2nd round individual battle, Lee So-na decorated the first stage with Nami's 'Is It Hate or Longing?'. Combined with a different arrangement from the original song and Lee So-na's characteristic solid sound and delicate sensibility, it delivered a deep resonance. Boom expressed admiration, saying, "It reminds me of the competition. She sings so well," and Jeong Hong-il confessed that his eyes turned red as he thought of his late mother.
Huh Chan-mi reinterpreted Kim Bum-ryong's 'Wind, Wind, Wind' in a jazz style. Huh Chan-mi, appearing in the individual battle for the first time in 56 days, revealed that she put her wish for victory into the song title. On stage, she released another charm with a relaxed groove matched to the jazz melody. Boom acknowledged her skill, saying, "As expected of Huh Chan-mi," and Chun-gil gave praise to the charismatic stage, saying, "It's perfect for the Teto special theme."
Yoon Tae-hwa sang Choi Jin-hee's 'Journey'. Yoon Tae-hwa's dance challenge, which could not be seen normally, caught everyone's attention. Seeing this, Yoon Yoon-seo gave a thumbs up to the stage that captured both song and performance, saying, "She added the groove so sexily and was so cool."
In the final stage that would determine the success or failure of the 3rd consecutive win, Yeom Yu-ri selected Sumi Jo's 'If I Leave'. Yeom Yu-ri, who majored in vocal music, filled the stage with grand vocal power that utilized her strengths. Chun-gil gave favorable reviews, saying, "It was a stage where I felt she is continuously growing through 'Miss Trot For You'."
After all the stages ended, the final rankings were revealed. Huh Chan-mi X Seo Ji-o took 4th place with a total score of 356 points, and Yoon Tae-hwa X Jeong Hong-il took 3rd place with 379 points. The two teams remaining until the end were Lee So-na X Koo Soo-kyung and Yeom Yu-ri X Han Da-seong, who both recorded 193 points in the 1st round. Tension reached its peak as the direction of victory was to be decided by the individual battle scores.
The final result was the victory of Yeom Yu-ri X Han Da-seong. The two achieved their 3rd consecutive win by adding 190 points in the 2nd round, reaching a total score of 383 points. Lee So-na X Koo Soo-kyung recorded 188 points in the 2nd round, resulting in a runner-up position with a total score of 381 points, a difference of only 2 points. Han Da-seong, who defended the King's seat after a fierce battle, showed overwhelming joy to the point that her legs lost strength.
However, the real battle has not ended. Another moment of choice has come to Han Da-seong, who is right before the 3rd consecutive win prize money. Even in a situation where all the prize money earned so far would disappear if she challenges for a 4th consecutive win and fails, Han Da-seong shouted 'Challenge' without hesitation. Attention is focused on whether the non-celebrity participant Han Da-seong, who has defeated formidable singers to achieve even a 3rd consecutive win, can set another record of a 4th consecutive win with Yeom Yu-ri.
