Park Jimin from K-Pop Star fails to deliver the high notes while covering Woodz' Drowning.
On the second episode of MBC's entertainment show '1st Place', which aired on February 22nd, the final audition battle was held to determine the true number one among the final number one winners who were born after beating out the fierce competition of countless music auditions throughout history.
Park Jimin showed an uneasy pitch from the very first verse on stage. When the accompaniment of Woodz's "Drowning" started to flow, the performers who were surprised and said, "Wow, you're singing this song?" remained silent and just watched the stage as her sloppy high notes continued.
Afterwards, Huh Gak and Son Seung Yeon said, "Actually, this song is really difficult," and "It's not an easy song after all," and Baek Ji Young was upset, saying, "Jimin, your throat doesn't seem to be in good shape. It's amazing that you still did it until the end."
The most disappointing was Park Jimin herself. "I messed up this stage. I sang my first note, but my pitch seemed off," she lamented. She then vowed, "Even if I ranked low, I couldn't help but understand. Next time, I'll perform without embarrassment." [Nate]
