Contestant Shin Ji Hoon delivered a brief blast to the past on the latest episode of ‘K-Pop Star 2 ‘.
Professing to knowing virtually no recent songs and having no interest in watching ‘Inkigayo’ anytime soon, Shin Ji Hoon chose to cover a song from her parents’ time period – Byun Jin Sup‘s 1989 classic, “Back To You Again“, for the finals of the casting auditions – where no more than half of the contestants would be casted into an agency for further training.
Despite flaws in the simple choreography, given to her by YG Entertainment‘s Yang Hyun Suk, that the judges teased her about – “You did nothing wrong. I think Hyun Suk hyung needs to be punished instead,” J.Y. Park told her – her vocals received praise.
In the end, Shin Ji Hoon was casted by JYP Entertainment. “Come to JYP and try singing without any choreography,” J.Y. Park said jokingly.
