[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] MBN's 'Voice Queen' added excitement to the broadcast with the participants' dazzling performances.

On the afternoon of the 2nd, MBN's 'You Are the Voice Queen' (Voice Queen) aired the 4th round of the finals, the '1-on-1 KO Match.' The '1-on-1 KO Match' is a format where two participants, randomly drawn, compete head-to-head, with only one surviving.

The first stage featured Park Yeon-hee and Jung Soo-yeon's performances of 'Dongbaek Agassi' and 'My One and Only Person Has Left.' After her performance, Park Yeon-hee shed tears, saying, "I am satisfied to have stood on such a big stage four times."

The result of the match was Jung Soo-yeon's victory. She advanced to the semifinals by defeating Park Yeon-hee with a 9-point difference. The program entered a new phase as Park Yeon-hee, who had never been eliminated in previous broadcasts, was eliminated. Park Yeon-hee expressed her feelings about elimination, saying, "I have been happy until now, so I will take this happiness home with me."

The next stage was between Jeon Young-rang and Kang Yoo-jin. Jeon Young-rang wore a yellow hanbok and sang 'Han Obaeknyeon,' while Kang Yoo-jin wore a sequin outfit and performed 'First Train,' presenting contrasting stages of traditional folk song and popular music.

After watching their performances, Tae Jin-ah praised, "Both Kang Yoo-jin and Jeon Young-rang sang their best. I think both are queens of 'Voice Queen'." However, the victory went to Jeon Young-rang.

The third match was between Filipino newlywed Yabu Jenilin and Jang Han-i. Despite having a cold, Yabu Jenilin passionately sang Jo Sumi's 'If I Go,' and Jang Han-i performed Song Chang-sik's 'Love.' Jang Han-i won by a narrow one-vote margin and advanced to the next round.

The fourth stage, a traditional trot showdown, featured Yoon Eun-ah and Choi Yeon-hwa, who had performed as the 'Bong Sisters' in the 3rd round. Yoon Eun-ah showcased the essence of 'kkeokgi' with Hyun Chul's 'Bongseonhwa Yeonjeong,' while Choi Yeon-hwa presented a unique charm different from the original with Joo Hyun-mi's 'It Was Really Good.'

Despite a fierce 5-to-5 situation, Yoon Eun-ah was eliminated as Kim Kyung-ho gave the final vote to Choi Yeon-hwa.

The next match featured Joella and Choi Sung-eun. Joella confidently said, "I want to create a stage that surprises people. I want to win."

Joella's performance of Cha Ji-yeon's 'If You Live' turned the audience and judges into tears. The audience was completely immersed in Joella's stage. Choi Sung-eun sang Nami's 'Sad Fate,' but the victory went to Joella.

Afterwards, Ahn So-jung, who sang Patti Kim's 'Love That Left Autumn Behind,' received unanimous votes and won against jazz expert Jung Eun-joo.

Musical actress Kim Rua performed Mamamoo's 'Piano Man' with a dance, and Na Ye-won showed solid vocal skills with Lee Eun-ha's 'Winter Rose.' The victory went to Kim Rua with a score of 9 to 2.

Thus, as a result of the 4th round matches, Jung Soo-yeon, Jeon Young-rang, Jang Han-i, Choi Yeon-hwa, Joella, and Kim Rua advanced to the semifinals.
