What’s New This Season?
The biggest addition is a segment called “Busking of Destiny,” which features entertaining hidden missions with the audience. Leading the banter are Tei, who has a background as a radio DJ, and Lee Seung Gi, a veteran variety personality. Their chemistry should keep the show lively between songs.
Mixed-Gender Duets
Viewers can also look forward to unprecedented mixed-gender unit performances. The pairings announced so far are Tei and Yuju, Suho and Lee Ye Ji, and Lee Young Hyun and Lee Seung Gi. Fresh combinations like these are one of the most exciting parts of a busking show, since you never quite know how two different voices will blend.
Songs Before the Premiere
Fans won’t have to wait for the premiere to hear some of the music. The season’s tracks will be released in advance:
- September 30, 6 p.m. KST: “In Trouble” (originally by V.O.S), performed by Tei, DK, Lee Seung Gi, Suho, Jongho, Kim Hee Jae and Park Ji Hyun.
- October 4, 6 p.m. KST: Suho’s solo track “Let’s Stay Well” (originally by Zitten).
Both are covers, so it will be interesting to hear how each singer makes the songs their own.
