And the Two Finalists of SuperStar K are?

Superstar K, the American Idol show of Korea, has been garnering much attention due to its very talented contestants.

So far, the competition has been fierce, and now, we are only left with two finalists, Suh In Gook and Jo Moon Geun. Unfortunately Gil Hak Mi, the last female contestant remaining did not get through the semi-final round. The prize for the final winner is 100,000 US dollars or 1억 and a chance to appear on the MKMF stage alongside Korea's biggest superstars. Who will be the last one standing?

Here is a brief overview of the two finalists:

Jo Moon Geun
Jo Moon Geun - This conga-playing artist has been the viewers' favorite ever since he first auditioned with his guitarist bandmate under their band name, "Lost Cat/Stray Cat". Although the bandmate was eventually cut from a later audition, Jo Moon Geun held on steady in the race. They immediately caught the judges' attention by their unique rendition of Wonder Girls' "Nobody". He is known for his unique tone and the happy-virus when he is on stage. He is just another example demonstrating that looks are not everything. Listening to him just makes me smile!

Suh In Gook
Suh In Gook - This young 23-year old came into the competition as the underdog. He constantly got criticism from the judges, but was quick to learn and showcase his improvements. Each week, his performances just got better and better! Most of his fans are females because we girls just helplessly fall for a boy's shy smiling face, don't we? This smile-boy sure is a tough competition for Jo Moon Geun.

Those were the two finalists, but Gil Hak Mi is just too talented to ignore, so here is a brief overview of the female superstar.

Gil Hak Mi
Gil Hak Mi - When Hyori (judge) first saw Hak Mi's audition, she said that she reminded her of 2NE1's CL. Actually, her boyish look, and impressive rapping and singing do resemble the leadah of 2NE1. She is one of the many contestants who will walk away from this contest without the prize, but with many supporting fans. I know I can't wait for this girl to debut!

Who will win the ultimate prize and title of Korea's first SuperStar K winner?

what? Gil Hak Mi didn’t get to the finals? I am really suprised… Suh In Gook must have got a lot better.

I thought it would be her and Jo Moon Geun in the finals competing against each other. :o

Every country has an American Idol-type show. Hyori would be a fun judge.

The 1 MILLION DOLLAR PRIZE IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!! THAT’S MORE THAN MOST NEW ARTISTS MAKE IN THE 1ST 10 YEARS OF THEIR CAREER. Hyori Lee herself only gets around 2 Million for a 2 year contract with Mnet and she’s like one faces of Hallyu K-Pop itself!

It will be hard for the winner to be humble already earning that much money even without signing a contract yet…

Nobody will audition to be trainees anymore, they will just audition for this….........

1milion US dollars? I dont think so… Is there a mistake with the number? It’s like 10 times the prize a competition usually award their winner..

I go with Suh In Gook. He sing with Davichi for ILYEHY, even though he’s not that perfect yet, but it’s still a very good perf.

I wish there was a Korean channel for North Americans… with subtitles. And yes, American Idol does suck!

i still think it’s ironic that Hyori is judging a singing competition. i mean i love the girl, but she falls way short in the vocals department -.-

 
AriShay's avatar

Oh they cut Gil Hak Mi.. she has amazing voice.. Korea can’t vote good (musical hearing got damaged maybe two years ago)
.. so many good singers was kicked out ..all because many loves a funny looking Jo Moon Geun..
Jo Moon Geun is not good at singing (only 2 songs he sang good).. I don’t know why..
Maybe because he has a stage prop which can remind peoples about him easily..
