Balancing artist Byun Nam-seok successfully completed an ultra-difficult mission: stacking glass bottles of different sizes and weights and slippery stainless steel bowls, setting a candle on a moving picture frame, and finally, even standing up the motorcycle Lee So-na was riding. 😳

Jeon A-ram, an aerial silk artist active for 14 years, showcased a vertical drop and flight performance from a height of about 10 meters relying on a single piece of cloth without any safety equipment; it is said that Kang Ho-dong shed tears during this performance. She received 192 points, the highest score among the performers that day.

Jinseong, dubbed the "BTS of Trot," took on a balancing art challenge while singing "Don't Tackle Me," increasing the difficulty by balancing on a chair, a makgeolli glass, and an empty bottle. Before the challenge, he remarked, "At our age, joints struggle and backs ache," yet he also expressed a solemn determination, stating, "Once I set foot in the entertainment industry, this body is no longer mine," which touched many hearts.

Heo Chan-mi, who has a fear of heights, endured tears and even an injury during practice, but she completed the aerial silk spin move while singing 'Goose's Dream.' Son Bin-ah, who sang 'Summertime,' revealed that she lost 10kg during practice and took on the challenge of power dance sport. Finally, Chun-gil passionately sang 'Amor Fati,' executing Pump It Up and B-boying freezes, but reportedly made a mistake due to exhaustion and collapsed from burnout after the performance. 😭 Nevertheless, applause poured in for his fighting spirit in completing the performance to the very end.

5. The stage that made Kang Ho-dong cry

The scene that became the most talked-about was, as expected, Kang Ho-dong's tears. Kang Ho-dong, who was watching Jeon A-ram's breathtaking aerial silk performance, kept his eyes clasped together and could not take his eyes off her; after the show ended, he wiped away tears with the back of his hand and remarked, "Tears welled up without me realizing it." They say she conveyed that. When she showed a sentimental side instead of her trademark tiger charisma, the audience reacted by saying, "It's 100% menopause," which became a humorous highlight. 😂
