Following the win of Lim Jung Hee last week, singer Tei won #1 on the April 9th episode of tvN's "Opera Star 2011"!
For two hours, the contestants performed live at the Sangmyung Art Center in Seoul for the show's second episode. Jewelry's Kim Eun Jung had been eliminated in the pilot episode, leaving seven contestants - JK Kim Dong Wook, DJ DOC's Kim Chang Ryeol, Moon Hee Ok, Shin Hae Chul, CSJH's Sunday, Lim Jung Hee, and Tei.
Tei performed a rendition of E. De Curtis's "Non ti Scordar di Me", which not only earned him a standing ovation from the audience, but praise from the judges as well. They said, "Tei is born with a tenor's voice" and "I can feel an Italian's blood running through you. You were full of expressive emotions."
Before his performance, Tei had aroused the curiosity of the audience by commenting, "I used to have a childhood friend that I'd not only eat meals with, but with movies and spend a lot of time together with. I still wonder sometimes whether that friend still thinks of me, and I think I'll be able to sing this song with that heart in mind."
Upon winning, he joyously stated, "I feel great. So this is what winning feels like!" Second to be eliminated was Shin Hae Chul.
