Yoo Hee Yeol cried on "K-Pop Star 3".

On SBS "K-Pop Star 3" aired today, the round 1 of battle audition was shown.

On this day, Hong Jung Hee who received training with Yoo Hee Yeol performed, but she placed 3rd, being eliminated.

Yoo Hee Yeol said, "Something that the judges kept pointing out to Hong Jung Hee is 'What is your color?' I knew that if something didn't change now, she would get eliminated."

Even though Yoo Hee Yeol knew she would be eliminated, he could not hold back his tears because he knew how hard she tried. Hong Jung Hee had been a trot star when she was younger.

Yoo Hee Yeol said, "I love your attitude when it comes to singing. I learned a lot from you the past 3 weeks and I really want to meet you again."

Internet users who saw this commented, "He must have felt really bad," "So sad," and "I hope they meet again."
