The second part of the second episode, which aired on the 30th of last month, recorded a 6.4% viewer rating based on Nielsen Korea's metropolitan area, breaking its own highest ratings and topping the same time slot for two consecutive weeks. The highest ratings per minute soared to 7.6% and also ranked first in all genre programs such as entertainment, drama, culture, and news broadcast on Tuesday with 2.3% ratings.
On this day's broadcast, the stage delivered by participants with an average age of 18.2 colored the small screen with memories and emotions. In the first round of the finals 'First Ballad of My Life', Choi Eun-bin won the highest vote among the participants with 142 votes. He achieved 6 million views with a cover video of "You can say your love has cooled down" by six keys, but he made viewers cry by revealing his personal history of slump caused by malicious comments and his father's battle with cerebral hemorrhage. Choi Eun-bin stimulated tears by digesting the Resurrection's 'Never Ending Story' with explosive singing and emotion, and Park Kyung-rim showed tears, saying, `The loneliness you must have felt alone and the cheering lights of the audience were touching.' Jeong Jae-hyung also praised it, saying, `It was like watching Kim Yu-na fly on the stage.'
In addition, Kang Ji-yeon, a high school senior, played a full-size guitar with a small 34kg body and sang Kim Yun-ah's 'Going Home' to get 141 votes and passed. Lim Ji-sung showed pure charm with Hwang Chi-hoon's 'You in Memories', but was pointed out sharply by Cha Tae-hyun. Kim Jae-joon put on a unique stage through 'In the Entrance Train' and Jeremy's 'It's probably not our fault', while elementary school student Kim Tae-joon showed Lim Han-byul's 'It's Because I Didn't Love' but was unfortunately eliminated because it did not reach 100 votes.
'Our Ballad' airs every Tuesday at 9 p.m.
