Shin Seung-tae Makes a Stunning Comeback on MBN's 'Current King of Masked Singer 2'

On January 21, 2025, singer Shin Seung-tae achieved a remarkable turnaround on MBN's 'Current King of Masked Singer 2' during the second round of the third preliminary match, dubbed 'The Great Flip'. After finishing in a disappointing 17th place in the first round, Shin expressed his self-doubt, questioning, "Was I too weak?" following his performance.

Before the second round, he sought honest feedback from his family at home. His mother advised him to approach the song with a more subdued emotional expression, stating, "This song requires you to let go and gently stir the heart." Taking her advice to heart, Shin performed Lee Young-hwa's 'The Sound of Silbi Rain' with a calm demeanor.

The celebrity judges were impressed, praising his performance with comments like, "This is what judging should feel like," and "He nailed it! His song interpretation and execution skills are excellent." Shin scored an impressive 352 points out of a possible 360 from the celebrity panel, propelling him from 17th to 2nd place overall with a total score of 475 points across both rounds, delivering an exhilarating moment for viewers.
