Sungri and Kim Joong-yeon vs. Haru and Hwang Min-woo in 'Legendary Man'

As MBN's 'Legendary Man' gains momentum by surpassing a 5% viewership rating, a high-stakes performance battle is set to unfold between the TOP7 members. In the third episode of 'Legendary Man,' airing on the night of the 29th, the TOP7 members, divided into Team Kang Jin and Team Jin Seong, will compete for stage presence in the 'Friendship Battle.'

The highlight of this episode is the performance showdown between members with idol backgrounds. Sungri, who recently proved her powerful fandom by selling out fan meeting tickets in just 52 seconds, will take the stage alongside Kim Joong-yeon. "Since we both have idol backgrounds and have worked as performance-oriented 'trot idols,' we have a lot in common," Sungri said, expressing confidence in their teamwork.

A Battle of Pride Among Idol-Turned-Trot Idols

The performance lineup formed by Sungri and Kim Joong-yeon has been considered a strong contender for victory even before the broadcast. Leveraging their physical conditioning and dance skills gained from their idol days, the duo plans to overwhelm the audience with a stage that transcends trot by incorporating flashy action and performance elements.

However, the counterattack from Haru and Hwang Min-woo's team is equally formidable. Haru drew laughter when he reacted with confusion to a sudden call, prompting Hwang Min-woo to ask, "Why you? Are you confident in your performance?" Recalling the charm of performance from the previous 'Unnamed Legend' team mission, Haru declared that he and Hwang Min-woo would showcase even stronger energy and a unique, sexy charm compared to before.

Haru and Hwang Min-woo's Reinterpretation of Kang Jin's 'Ddaengbeol'

Haru and Hwang Min-woo's team selected Kang Jin's hit song 'Ddaengbeol.' Their performance, which featured an arrangement that preserved the feel of the original while adding an intense dance break, earned high praise from Seo Ji-oh, who remarked, "It's better than the original 'Ddaengbeol'." Sungri and Kim Joong-yeon also heated up the atmosphere by countering with a dynamic performance.

The battle between the two teams served as a platform for each member to prove their performance capabilities. Haru expressed his ambition to recreate the "taste" of the sexy performance he experienced during the team match on this stage as well.

The Evolution of TOP7 and the Progression of the Friendship Battle

'Legendary Man' is a spin-off program documenting the growth of the cast members who overcame their period of obscurity through 'Unnamed Legend' to join the TOP7. Sungri shared the realistic changes all TOP7 members are experiencing, revealing that she recently filmed her first commercial since her debut.

The mission for this third episode follows the 'Friendship Battle' format, featuring TOP7 members—Sungri, Haru, Jang Han-byeol, Hwang Yunsung, Jeong Yeon-ho, Lee Changmin, and Lee Rune—along with friends they personally invited. In one of the missions, 'Song Swap,' Haru and Jeong Yeon-ho will take the lead. Jeong Yeon-ho shared an anecdote about meeting Kang Jin in a recording studio in the past, saying, "At first, I thought he was in his 30s just by looking at his back, but I was surprised again once I saw his face," which brought laughter to the set.

The third episode of MBN's 'Legendary Man' will air on the 29th at 9:40 PM.
