[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] 'Mr. Trot' Kim Hee-jae defeated Chu Hyuk-jin with an overwhelming vote difference of 11 to 0.


On the 30th, TV Chosun's 'Tomorrow is Mr. Trot' (Mr. Trot) aired the second round of the finals featuring a 1-on-1 death match.


The dance machine Chu Hyuk-jin and prodigy Kim Hee-jae faced off in the death match, and their provocations toward each other were broadcasted.


Chu Hyuk-jin warned Kim Hee-jae, saying, "You are not my stumbling block but my stepping stone," to which Kim Hee-jae responded with an acrostic poem: "Before you show an ugly sight, Hyuk-jin hyung, you really should go home now."


Chu Hyuk-jin, who went on stage first, showed his full passionate Mansour side and sang 'First Train.' Before going on stage, Chu said, "I want to win. I want to show that there is someone like this." However, due to a wrist injury and the worst physical condition, he made a pitch error.


Kim Hee-jae, who went on stage later, chose the song 'Man with a Flower.' Wearing a flashy outfit, he demonstrated his experience and completed the stage. His deadly hip dance and sweet vocal tone drew cheers from viewers.


During the instrumental break, he attracted attention by performing a sports dance prepared with dancers. The masters asked Kim Hee-jae after the stage, "Did you usually know how to dance?" and he surprised everyone by saying, "It was a dance practiced for three hours."



As a result of their performances, Kim Hee-jae won. In particular, Kim Hee-jae's overwhelming victory with an unprecedented vote difference of 11 to 0 drew attention.
