Park Seo-jin Crowned as the Second Champion of 'Current King of Singers'

On February 25, 2025, during the live finale of MBN's 'Current King of Singers 2' (현역가왕2), singer Park Seo-jin (박서진) emerged victorious, becoming the second reigning champion. The final round featured ten contestants, including Hwanhee (환희), Shin Yu (신유), Kim Soo-chan (김수찬), Jin Hae-sung (진해성), Kim Jun-soo (김준수), Choi Soo-ho (최수호), Kang Moon-kyung (강문경), Shin Seung-tae (신승태), and Enok (에녹).

The total score for the final was 5,000 points, calculated from various voting methods: 44% from on-site votes (combined from the first and second rounds), 10% from public support votes (weighted for second place and below), 6% from new song streaming (also weighted), and 40% from real-time text votes (with ratios for second place and below).

Park Seo-jin secured the top position with a score of 4,574 points, receiving the champion's belt from the first reigning king, Jeon Yu-jin (전유진). Expressing his gratitude, Park stated, "I wonder how happy my brothers in heaven would be to see this. I will sing even harder from now on."

The top seven finalists included Jin Hae-sung, Enok, Shin Seung-tae, Kim Jun-soo, Choi Soo-ho, and Kang Moon-kyung. Jin Hae-sung, who finished in second place, reflected on his late grandmother, who could not witness the final performance, saying, "She may not have seen it, but I still achieved a good result."

The top seven will participate in the upcoming 'Korean-Japanese King of Singers' competition, commemorating the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan. Unfortunately, Hwanhee, Kim Soo-chan, and Shin Yu did not make the top seven. Shin Yu remarked, "I have often been told that I am very ambitious for participating in 'Current King of Singers 2', but I approached it without any shame in my choices."
