Min Woo-hyuk, Jo Hyeong-gyun, and Kim Joo-ri Team Up to Dominate Stage with Rock Spirit

The team of Min Woo-hyuk, Jo Hyeong-gyun, and Kim Joo-ri chose 'Bulhae Re-Decorated' and dominated the stage with rock spirit. They received praise from Lee Chan-won, who said, "You're determined to break your own record." Young Tak commented, "The two of you dominated the stage so much that I felt like you weren't even here," and Jo Hyeong-gyun declared, "I want to break today's highest score. We have ambition." Jo Zzez said, "I was deeply inspired by Forestella's seven consecutive wins last week. Today, I want to write a new chapter in 'Immortal Songs' history."

Kim Dong-jun and Young Tak Fail to Score Over 2 Points Despite '10 Years of Promise'

Kim Dong-jun and Young Tak attempted a comeback with '10 Years of Promise,' but their stage score failed to exceed 2 points, preventing them from winning. They prepared the stage to reflect on the 10 years of 'Immortal Songs,' but were overwhelmed by the performance of the Min Woo-hyuk, Jo Hyeong-gyun, and Kim Joo-ri team. Lee Chan-won provoked, "Is there anyone here who hopes for number one?" and K.Will responded humorously, "I do want number one, but if I go up there and fail, I'll be too similar to Forestella."

Ko Woo Rim shared details of his marriage to Kim Yeon-ah, saying, "I received support from a lunchbox Kim Yeon-ah personally packed.
