Kim So-yeon and Park Jin-seo compete for Round 3 on SBS

Top Round 1 performers Kim So-yeon and 13-year-old Park Jin-seo will compete to advance to Round 3 on SBS 'Our Ballad 2' tonight. Kim So-yeon, whose stage clip garnered 4.5 million views, and Park Jin-seo, who placed second in the previous round, are among the contestants set to perform at 10 PM.

In the upcoming broadcast of the SBS massive audition project 'Our Ballad 2' (planned by Jeong Ik-seung, directed by Ahn Jeong-hyeon, and written by Mo Eun-seol) airing tonight (9th), top Round 1 performers Kim So-yeon and Park Jin-seo will give their all to advance to Round 3.

Kim So-yeon, who placed third in Round 1 and recorded 4.5 million views for her stage clip, is set to move Moon Geun-young once again with her deep emotion and lonely tone while performing the late Kim Kwang-seok's "A Love Too Painful Was Not Love." BIBI, who brought a book on fear to overcome her emotions, is expected to be unable to speak as she breaks into tears before she even has a chance to open the book.

The performance by the youngest contestant, Park Jin-seo, who placed second in Round 1 and moved all the Top 100 judges to tears, will also send shivers through the panel as she performs Cho Yong-pil's "Song of the Wind." Immediately following her stage, Joo Woo-jae will offer hyperbolic praise, asking, "Is 'Our Ballad 2' ending today? Is this the finale stage?" Roy Kim is also expected to stir emotions by boldly predicting, "She will become a Whitney Houston at age 21."

Other contestants who gained favor from the Top 100 judges with their unique personalities in Round 1 will also take the stage. Kim Hun-o, the "classical boy" and only son of world-renowned vocalist Kara Son, will perform Kim Bum-soo's "Last Love," while Ra Yu-jeong, the "cutie" picked by Cha Tae-hyun, will perform Page's "So That Farewell Cannot Come."

Curiosity is mounting regarding Kim Hun-o, who received praise in Round 1 for completely hiding his classical vocal style. Ahead of his performance, Joo Woo-jae reportedly had a disagreement with the representative group of Top 100 judges. He even issued a declaration toward certain individuals, stating, "If that happens, I will blame the two of you."

The heart-pounding stages performed by the trending contestants from Round 1 can be seen tonight at 10 PM on the SBS massive audition project 'Our Ballad 2.'
