Director Han Jun-hee s 2019 crime movie Hit and Run Squad reminded me of an unknown singer who received the long overdue spotlight on TV Chosun s hit show Miss Trot 2. That singer is Kim Eui-young, a contestant who failed to make the cut in Season 1 but chose to try and prove herself again in Season 2.
Her courage paid off. She was the star of Thursday night. Her name surfaced as one of the top 10 most searched names on the nation s largest internet portal Naver shortly after her performance. She stole the show, wowing all 15 judges with her perfect performance and she got the green light to advance to the next round. Several judges praised her, echoing views that she s a gifted singer and they didn t understand why she didn t make the cut to become a finalist in Season 1. For them, they went on to say, Kim is Season 2 s best singer.
