With only six contestants remaining, SBS's music audition program 'K-Pop Star 2' has intensified the battle for the coveted grand prize - an exclusive deal with one of the 'top 3' Korean entertainment companies.

Although all of the contestants thus far are the cream of the crop, eliminations are unfortunately an inevitable part of the program.

The remaining 'Top 5' contestants are as follows:

Akdong Musician
Raccoon Boys
