Classical vocal major's high-note attempt ends in embarrassment on Gag Concert

Samsung, a classical vocal major who studied in Italy, faced an awkward moment on the November 8, 2026, broadcast of KBS 'Gag Concert' when her attempt at IU's 'three-step high note' forced her to leave the stage before finishing the song.

The 'Everyone's Singing Contest' segment on KBS 'Gag Concert' drew laughter through the contrasting stage results of its participants. In the episode broadcast on November 8, 2026, contestants with diverse personalities appeared to showcase their singing and performances.

A classical vocal major's challenge ends in 'death by embarrassment' instead of a three-step high note

The most notable figure on the stage that day was Samsung, a participant introduced as a classical vocal major who studied in Italy. Samsung expressed confidence, claiming to have mastered three types of sounds: chest voice, abdominal voice, and head voice. She demonstrated her expertise as a vocal major by personally illustrating the difference between chest and abdominal voices through sound.

She then selected IU's 'Good Day' and attempted the famous 'three-step high note' to showcase her true skills as a vocal major. However, an unexpected situation occurred during the high-note section, forcing her to leave the stage before she could finish the song. Her attempt to display grand vocal techniques led to an awkward moment on stage, resulting in a "death by embarrassment" happening that concluded her segment.

Solo comeback singers and Indian actor deliver contrasting performances

Before Samsung's stage, solo comeback singers Ha-yoon and Lee Han-gyeol appeared to decorate the stage. They prepared a performance involving a Shin-chan impression and a breaking demonstration. Lee Han-gyeol heightened the tension by declaring he would attempt breaking for the first time in nine years, continuing the stage by singing the new song 'Bungee'. After performing a stage that combined both breaking and singing, they received a passing grade.

The final participant to grace the segment was Hassan, who was introduced as an actor active in India. He presented a work titled 'Malipotter', a reinterpretation of the movie 'Harry Potter', and performed an Indian-style dance. Hassan concluded 'Everyone's Singing Contest' with an intense performance, chanting the spell 'Abracadabra' while continuing unique movements and dances utilizing his muscles.
