From magician to Diabolo expert: A stage built on 12 years of training

Jundia has been gaining stage experience since his college years, working as a magician. He revealed that while performing abroad, he encountered the Diabolo and became so fascinated that he chose the path of a professional performer. He also shared that because there were no suitable places to learn in Korea, he continued his training by traveling to various parts of the world to find masters.

The Diabolo, which originated from the traditional Chinese game Gongju, is a tool used to toss and catch large yo-yos using strings attached to a stick. For this performance, Jundia practiced while personally considering the ceiling height and lighting positions of the studio. In particular, he revealed that the black box-shaped device used on stage was also something he manufactured himself, demonstrating his passion for analog stage production.

Rhythm control and facial expressions: A performance aiming to break the all-time high score

Jundia's performance was characterized not only by flashy techniques but also by his ability to control rhythm between softness and strength, along with immersive facial expressions. The cast members added to the heat of the scene, expressing admiration for the swing techniques and dynamic movements displayed throughout the stage. In particular, the performance utilizing the stage height was evaluated as being at a level that transcends the limitations of an indoor studio.

Attention was focused on whether this performance could surpass the previous all-time high score of 195 points set by former cast members. Jundia approached the stage with the ambition, "I will finish the connection started with the string with the string." During the voting and score reveal process following the performance, Jundia's performance drew a hot response, leading to high immersion from the scene. In the final result, Jundia recorded 193 points.
