[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the 25th, Jung Mi-ae won the MVP at KBS2's 'Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend' Summer Special Part 2, 'Summer Queen Song Festival.'


On this day, Song Ga-in, Jung Mi-ae, Hong Ja, Sukhaeng, Jung Da-kyung, and Kim So-yu appeared on 'Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend' to present the 'Summer Queen Song Festival' stage.


Song Ga-in, who opened the first stage, said, "Since we practiced together and saw each other often, I feel more confident than when I performed alone," and explained her song choice: "I wanted to row the boat coolly in the summer, so I prepared 'Virgin Boatman' and the folk song 'Boat Song'." Song Ga-in delivered an unprecedented stage with an orchestra alongside the traditional music group Baraji, which includes her older brother.


First-time contestant Jung Da-kyung said, "I really, really wanted to appear. I'm so happy to be here now." Choosing Uhm Jung-hwa's 'Festival,' Jung Da-kyung added, "I don't think I can match senior Uhm Jung-hwa's sexiness, but I will try to show charisma along with a cute and lively vibe." The judges praised her ambitious dance performance, saying, "She is excellent at both dancing and singing."


Jung Mi-ae selected the high-pitched song 'Lying on the Sea.' Announcing that she is pregnant with her fourth child, Jung Mi-ae promised, "I will deliver a performance pouring all my vocal power." True to her words, Jung Mi-ae impressed the judges with her powerful singing, worthy of a supermom.

Hong Ja took the stage with Baek Nyeon-seol's 'Harbor of the Earth.' She explained her song choice as "a song I usually liked. I want to say 'Hong Ja's transformation is innocent.' Please look at me kindly." As Hong Ja herself said the highlight was "sexiness," the stage showcased a remarkable transformation. Song Ga-in expressed surprise, saying, "She usually has a cute image, but today she was sexy."


Sukhaeng performed Position's 'Summer Time.' She described this stage as "Passionate Sukhaeng. A passionate woman," and explained, "With Position's 'Summer Time,' you will feel the intense summer." As promised, Sukhaeng heated up the stage with an exotic and sultry performance rarely seen outside of overseas.


The final stage was Kim So-yu's. Introducing herself in an interview as "the daughter of a rice cake shop," Kim So-yu said, "I never thought I would appear on 'Immortal Songs.' I can't believe I'm even doing this interview." She then passionately sang Kwon Sung-hee's 'Hainan Love,' declaring, "I will never miss the MVP today."


After the six performances, the final winner of the Summer Special Part 2 'Summer Queen Special' was Jung Mi-ae.
