'Our Ballad 2' presents a new ballad playlist that will stimulate the emotions of viewers.

The SBS mega-audition project 'Our Ballad 2' (Planned by Jung Ik-seung, Directed by Ahn Jung-hyun, Written by Mo Eun-seol), which will have its first broadcast on October 5 (Monday) at 10 PM, is drawing intense attention by releasing the Episode 1 trailer (https://youtu.be/UytZ1dTM9yg?si=gVeJh2znEYeKMdVA) where one can glimpse the song selections of contestants with an average age of 17.9.

'Our Ballad 2' is the second season of 'The Ballad of Us', which colored South Korea with a ballad craze. The pre-release and teaser videos released on major online platforms are gathering hot interest as they have surpassed 10 million cumulative views. Following the previous season, which exceeded 100 million total views, Season 2 is predicting another ballad craze by setting a new record of surpassing 10 million views even before the first broadcast.

In the released trailer, the scene opens with the 'The Ballad of Us' set lights turning back on and the sight of 150 Top 100 Listeners gathered in one place. Curiosity is mounting as to who the new ballad gem they will discover will be.

In particular, various song selections that traverse time, from Won Mi-gyeong's 'Farewell Journey' in 1990 to Car, the garden's 'Become My Little World' in 2021, pique interest. The feast of masterpieces that served as various background musics in everyone's lives makes them recall the memories held in their hearts.

Above all, the stages of the contestants, who vividly revive the emotions of those days through song, capture the eye. They are providing a familiar yet new flavor by adding their own sensibility to the original songs. The Top 100 Listeners watching this are also immersing themselves in the stages, shedding tears and gasping in admiration.

Among them, a contestant who powerfully performs Maya's 'Shout Myself Out' with intense energy draws attention as a standing ovation breaks out. Jung Jae-hyung offered high praise, saying, "I was thinking, 'Are there people with new perspectives left?' but after hearing the song, I thought, 'It was this person, the one we were looking for,'" making one wonder who the contestant is that made the Top 100 Listeners stand up.

As such, 'Our Ballad 2', which is gaining popularity even before its first broadcast, is expected to deeply resonate with listeners by re-examining the concept of wide and new song selections that highlight the ballad history of about 40 years from 1985 to 2025. Expectations are high for the emotional ballad playlist 'Our Ballad 2' will present, wondering what the life ballads of those days will sound like when sung by people with an average age of 17.9.

The SBS mega-audition project 'Our Ballad 2', which will unfold the second season of 'The Ballad of Us' that colored South Korea with a ballad craze, will have its first broadcast on October 5 (Monday) at 10 PM.
