TV CHOSUN 'Ten Million Masters Show' delivered laughter, healing, and emotion with overwhelming performances that broke limits, launching its even stronger and tougher Season 2 squad.

Episode 3 of TV CHOSUN 'Ten Million Masters Show', which aired on Tuesday, the 13th at 10 PM, recorded a national viewership rating of 2.4% and a peak viewership rating of 2.7% based on Nielsen Korea.

In Episode 3 of 'Ten Million Masters Show', while Kang Ho-dong and Boom conveyed the viewers' hot response to Season 1 where the stars' efforts shone, they introduced new Season 2 stars, emphasizing, "Today, the emotion and laughter are doubled," fueling anticipation.

First, the Jeonju University Taekwondo demonstration team 'Ssaulabi' opened the grand stage with an overwhelming scale of 15 members, the largest in history. 'Ssaulabi', which carries the meaning of 'people ready to fight and challenge,' revealed the majesty of a world-class group that has conquered the world, from the British national audition 'Britain's Got Talent' to auditions in Italy and Spain.

Starting with disciplined, sharp-angled Poomsae and moving to high-altitude somersaults and continuous spinning kicks, 'Ssaulabi' exploded the status of 'K-Taekwondo performance' that shook the world. Kang Ho-dong's eyes welled up while watching the stage, and Ahn Sung-hoon exclaimed, "They should be registered as human cultural assets and protected as national treasures." The national judging panel also gave high praise for the 'Ssaulabi' stage with a phenomenal score of 191 points. Following this, Park Cha-oreum, Park Jeong-min, and Yoo Ji-u, who received Taekwondo training from 'Ssaulabi', transformed into the youngest 'Ssaulabi babies' with an average age of 9.3 years, receiving applause for their excellent performance of Poomsae and breaking while singing 'Friend of Yeongil Bay' in a soulful manner.

The second master to appear was Jung Dong-nam, a 56-year veteran actor and a legend in Korea's physical feat world, under the nickname 'Hurricane Nasal Wind'. Jung Dong-nam raised the heat of the scene by performing rare feats, such as being the first master to personally sing 'Why Are You Crying?' while breaking marble with bare hands and suppressing the flames of five matchboxes with his hurricane nasal wind, earning 186 points.

Ahn Sung-hoon and Son Bin-a, acting as Jung Dong-nam's disciples for physical feats, appeared wearing muscular T-shirts with bulging muscles and entered an extreme mission where they had to succeed in physical feats while singing 'Ppara Ppappa'. The two completed a hardcore physical feat show, following wooden sword swordsmanship, rubber band feats, gluteal feats of breaking sticks on their buttocks, and finally stepping on top of 30 raw eggs. In particular, Ahn Sung-hoon drew attention with his ambitious pledge that if he advances to the king of kings match, "I will challenge it shirtless with a muscular body."

The third master was Shin Soo-ji, a former national representative who rewrote the history of South Korean rhythmic gymnastics. Returning to 'Ten Million Masters Show' 15 years after her retirement, Shin Soo-ji expressed her difficulties, saying, "My body was so stiff it was shocking" and "I took painkillers for a few days." However, Shin Soo-ji soon proved the power of a national representative by freely handling balls, hula hoops, and ribbons, receiving 162 points from the national judging panel. Hong Seong-yoon and Gil Ryeo-won, who learned rhythmic gymnastics from Shin Soo-ji, caused laughter by revealing their fighting spirit, being covered in bruises from being hit by equipment during the practice process, stating, "I greatly regretted saying I would do rhythmic gymnastics." However, the two endured the pain and practiced day and night, completing the hula hoop performance by Hong Seong-yoon and the ribbon performance by Gil Ryeo-won while singing 'Hateful Love'. Shin Soo-ji burst into tears, saying, "Rhythmic gymnastics is definitely not a sport that can be done in a short time, but we worked really hard," and Hong Seong-yoon and Gil Ryeo-won provided touching emotion by stating they did their best so as not to be a burden to Shin Soo-ji.

Meanwhile, in the 'Various Masters Corner', Heo Jin-man appeared with the nickname 'Incheon Octopus Man', attaching various daily necessities to his head without adhesive. 'Incheon Octopus Man' Heo Jin-man surprised everyone by successfully attaching beverage cans to his head, followed by deodorants, salt containers, and pesticide cans. Subsequently, Heo Jin-man, who challenged the long-distance beverage can attachment record, shook the scene by succeeding in attaching as many as 20 cans to his head.

Viewers responded with comments such as "Ssaulabi's stage was so moving! It was cool, but I kept crying," "Ahn Sung-hoon and Son Bin-a are truly amazing! Does it make sense that they can sing well while doing physical feats?", "Shin Soo-ji returned after 15 years and is still the same as her prime! A legend is a legend," and "'Ten Million Masters Show' feels like human ability stats are being upgraded every episode! Both the masters and the stars are great."

Meanwhile, the super-special show TV CHOSUN 'Ten Million Masters Show', where South Korea's national treasure-level masters meet top stars to challenge 10 million views, airs every Tuesday at 10 PM.
