‘K-Pop Star 3’ Judges Make The Show Worth Watching

SBS entertainment program "Survival Audition K-Pop Star 3" judges Yang Hyun Suk, Park Jin Young, and Yoo Hee Yeol are the buzz nowadays.

"K-Pop Star 3" is made special by Yang Hyun Suk, Park Ji Young, and Yoo Hee Yeol's unique judging style. The three sometimes offer enthusiastic praise, while other times they look more heartbroken than even the contestants themselves. Their demonstrated adherence to their roles is noteworthy.

They offer honest, truly happy comments.

"I'll say what Yang Hyun Suk wants to say. You sang much better than me. It was the best of all the versions I've heard so far. You sang my song different than how I sing it, and have given me tips to include in my concert." (Park Jin Young to Kwon Jinah, who sang his song "I Have a Girl" in episode 5)

"It's not music that can be done by a 15 year old. You have a natural born genius that cannot be made by training. One thing, your rhythm keeps getting faster. I think if you keep this in mind and put your focus on growing, not winning, you will become the best." (Yoo Hee Yeol's advice to Sam Kim in episode 6)

"This collaboration will be a monumental performance. You've created one of the greatest combinations." (Yoo Hee Yeol's praise for Jang Sae Woon and Kim Ah Hyun who presented their self-composed song in episode 7)

The judges have the heart of parents that just want their children to grow.

"You definitely have great potential, but the viewers won't let you slide because of your young age. Your singing lacks skill. I think it's time that you put dance aside for a while and focus on practicing your singing." (Yang Hyun's advice to Lee Chae Yeon and Lee Chae Ryung in the team mission final match in episode 8)

"More than praise I think I have to offer the rod. It isn't about singing skills, but more about interpreting the song and presenting your potential." (Yang Hyun Suk to Hong Jung Hee and Bae Min Ah, who incorrectly sang Lena Park's "I'm Sorry" during the casting auditions in episode 10)

"If you're pitted against a good singer, then you should strive to stand out... Why are you standing far from the mic and singing as if you're part of the chorus?" (Yoo Hee Yeol's comment to Sam Kim, who didn't use his mic correctly in collaboration with Bernard Park in episode 11)

The judges are prejudiced out of special affection to the contestants.

"I don't know why she didn't come to YG. It would've been great if she came to YG. I really like her voice color, she sings well, and her character is unique." (Yang Hyun Suk, talking about Jang Hannah after one-to-one lesson in episode 5)

"I'm Bernard's fan. Bernard Park is an example of someone that sings with his whole body." "If so, then I'm Sam's fan. I knew he played guitar well. Even though he doesn't come forth, his hand's groove and voice come along in the high notes." (Park Jin Young and Yang Hyun Suk's back to back praise for EQ in episode 8)

"I have the casting rights and the first pick, too. I won't even think about it. There was a reason why I had to leave one for Bernard Park. It was done at the first verse. I will cast him to JYP." (Park Jin Young to Bernard Park at the casting audition in episode 11)

They use fun comparisons to food when making comments.

"It feels like fondue was mixed in with intestines. For the first time since I sat in the judge's seat, I got goosebumps. To think that you arranged the song with just a guitar and still kept the inspiration of the original song... I think that even though I have 20 years of experience I wouldn't be able to make this kind of arrangement." (Yoo Hee Yeol expresses surprise at 2/1, who rearranged Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" in episode 7)

"Each aspect is so delicious to the point of tears. I can understand Park Jin Young's desire to eat one more bite." (Yang Hyun Suk praises 2MINUTE in episode 7)

"When you eat, sometimes there's a unique taste that you try for the first time... But I wonder if I'd eat it again. I think there has to be something added to the uniqueness." (Yang Hyun Suk's advice to Something, who presented their self-composed song in episode 8)

The three judges have their own ways of giving commentary, and pour out their sincerest words. According to the staff, "Yang Hyun Suk, Park Jin Young, and Yoo Hee Yeol are pouring their hearts into the commentary. Naturally they're expressing their emotions in each judging moment. The 3 judges' words will continue to be moving."

The 13th episode of "K-Pop Star 3" will air on the 16th, and will continue to show the 3 judges' honest praise and helpful advice.
