Bang Ye Dam Blows Judges Away On 'K-Pop Star 2' With His Performance Of The Black Eyed Peas Hit 'Where Is The Love?' [VIDEO]

Bang Ye Dam brought down the house on this week's episode of "K-Pop Star 2," with a performance of the Black Eyed Peas hit "Where Is The Love?"

"K-Pop Star 2" was down to Bang Ye Dam and just two other singers, when the artist that a fan of Epik High's Tablo once called his "mini-me," showed why he the 12-he deserved to make to the final round of the singing competition.

"K-Pop Star 2" judge J.Y. Park called the 12-year-old Bang Ye Dam's performance the "best ever" on the show.

Thanks to his barn-burning performance of "Where Is The Love?" Bang Ye Dam is poised to win the "K-Pop Star 2" title.

The singer will face off against Akdong Musician in the final round of the competition, after eliminating Andrew Choi.

Tablo, who performed on the recent episode of "K-Pop Star 2" retweeted a post from a fan on March 4 who came up with the mini-me comparison to Bang Ye Dam (a reference to the Austin Powers film franchise).

"Bang Ye Dam is like a mini-me Tablo who sings well," the fan wrote in the Twitter post. "Ah, [he's] cute. He sings so well. Look at his voice pitch."

"I didn't shine like that when I was young," Tablo replied to the fan.

The 12-year-old talent utilized the YG Entertainment facilities to the fullest extent, according to Taeyang.

"We used three YG studios because of him," Taeyang said, according to the website allkpop.com. "No one in YG does that."

Akdong Musician and Bang Ye Dam both reportedly said Tablo was their favorite artist, which was the reason for the collaboration.

When representatives from the show reached out to Epik High to play the show they reportedly agreed immediately.

"You can see this as a cooperative stage between the original geniuses and the new geniuses," said a spokesperson from the show. "It's been a while since Epik High was on broadcast, but since they're going to be on stage with the talented teens of 'K-Pop Star 2', it'll definitely be something different for viewers."
