Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, Huh Gak Announced As Special 'Superstar K' Judges

Mnet has assembled six special judges to join the regular panel of Superstar K 7 to whittle down the field of contestants for the so-called Super Week round, reports Allkpop.

These six special judges have been revealed to be Super Junior's Kyuhyun, Brown Eyed Girls' Gain, Ailee, hip hop artist Zion.T, trot singer Hong Jin Young and Superstar K 2 winner Huh Gak.

They will be joining the four main judges - Yoon Jong Shin, Baek Ji Young, Kim Bum Soo and Sung Si Kyung - in selecting a talented field of contestants who will advance to the next round.

Based on the various specialties of the special judges, which range from pop to hip hop to trot, diversity of singing talent also seems to be a primary goal for Super Week.

All six judges reportedly displayed their own unique judging style and gave sound constructive comments to help improve the contestants.

Superstar K 7, which will start airing on August 20, is the seventh season of the popular talent search show which began back in 2009, and is widely considered to be the biggest audition program in South Korea.

After the mass auditions, around 100-200 contestants are selected and compete in Super Week, and from here around a dozen top contestants proceed to the weekly rounds to impress the main judges and the viewing public.
