KBS2’s “I’m a Singer”: A Memorable Busking Journey in Germany

On January 18, KBS2’s renowned music show “I’m a Singer” featured a vibrant ensemble, including talented artists like Sunwoo JungA, Sohyang, Henry Lau, and members of ATEEZ—Hongjoong and Jongho—as they wrapped up an exhilarating busking session in Munich before heading to Regensburg. The episode garnered a modest 1.2% viewership rating, a decline from the previous episode’s 2.8% rating.

Musical Highlights from Munich

During their second day in Munich, the performers struck a nostalgic chord with TVXQ’s classic “Hug.” Meanwhile, Suzy mesmerized onlookers with her rendition of Lee Sora’s heartfelt piece, “To the One Who Doesn’t Love Me,” showcasing her exceptional vocal clarity and emotion. The crowd’s demand for an encore was met with enthusiasm as Hongjoong and Jongho led ATEEZ in a dynamic performance of “BOUNCY,” even as rain poured down, drawing spirited applause from the audience.

A Fond Farewell and Airport Performance

As Suzy prepared for her return to Korea, her final night was filled with laughter and camaraderie among the group members. In a heartfelt gesture, the team suggested one last busking performance at the airport, where they curated a cheerful playlist that brightened Suzy’s spirits.

Exploration and Performances at St. Emmeram Palace

The following day, the team made their way to Regensburg’s St. Emmeram Palace, where they had the honor of meeting Princess Gloria, who expressed her admiration for Korean culture. In the stunning cathedral, Sohyang delivered a stirring rendition of “You Raise Me Up,” followed by emotional performances in the palace’s ballroom where Sunwoo JungA showcased her songs “Imagination” and “Sad Love.” Sohyang and Hongjoong’s duet of “How Can I Love The Heartbreak, You’re The One I Love” left the audience captivated.

Romantic Serenades on the Old Stone Bridge

At the picturesque Old Stone Bridge above the Danube River, the artists performed a series of romantic songs tailored for couples and onlookers. Sunwoo JungA and Jongho’s duet of “Man and Woman” was a highlight, while Zai.Ro enchanted the crowd with his original composition, “Sweet Fuss,” accompanied by his guitar. Sohyang’s powerful rendition of “Listen” brought tears to the eyes of many, and Hongjoong and Jongho delivered unforgettable harmonies with their unique version of “A Little Girl.”

Cliffhanger Ending and Cultural Insights

As the episode drew to a close, a surprising moment occurred when Nau Lee abruptly halted his piano performance, prompting concern from Henry, who remarked, “The thing I feared the most happened.” Viewers are left eagerly anticipating the revelation of this disruption in the following episode.

The busking events highlighted in the show beautifully encapsulated the rich culture and scenic beauty of Germany. The blending of K-pop classics with traditional waltz music not only created a unique auditory experience for the audience but also showcased the global appeal of K-culture.

KBS2’s “I’m a Singer” is aired every Saturday at 10:40 PM (KST), inviting fans to join in on the musical adventure.
