In 'The Entertainer', J.Y. Park was amazed by the talented participants. The new audition program 'The Entertainer' aired on KBS 2TV starting on the 3rd, featuring local rounds in Busan. On this day, a high school girl, Cho Hae-jin, a dance genius, appeared. She introduced herself, saying, 'I entered Hanlim Arts High School and am the class leader in the practical dance department.' She can perform hip-hop, rock, contemporary dance, and even creative dance. J.Y. Park asked her, 'You are very beautiful and your dance skills are amazing, but have you never passed an entertainment production audition?' Cho Hae-jin replied, 'I have passed.' J.Y. Park was surprised and asked, 'You passed an audition for a production but didn't go?' To this, Cho Hae-jin said, 'I wanted to learn more about various genres of dance.' J.Y. Park expressed his expectations, saying, 'I find it strange that you haven't passed until now.' The 17-year-old Cho Hae-jin showcased her choreography dance that fuses contemporary dance and hip-hop. As the stage began, J.Y. Park was amazed, and as soon as it ended, he praised her, saying, 'Is your singing really that bad? Can’t it be listened to at all? If not, you are very special.' Yong-tak also said, 'It's another level,' and J.Y. Park praised her, saying, 'Even if you say you are active now, you are almost at the top. Even when compared with active singers, you are almost top class.' In response, Cha Tae-hyun joked, 'Shall we listen to a song then?' and J.Y. Park laughed, saying, 'I don’t want to ruin the emotion yet.' Wendy from Red Velvet said, 'I call anyone cooler than me who is younger than me 'sister.' When she first snapped and came out in front of the stage, I wanted to call her 'sister Hae-jin.' She mixed contemporary dance and choreography to create her dance. I just fell in love with it. Seeing her create the storyline and dance, I thought, 'Ah, she’s cool.' Special master Yong-tak added, 'She is number one among high school dancers.' Kim Ha-neul also said she was captivated by her unexpected charm, and Cha Tae-hyun conveyed, 'When I saw the judges react with 'Wow,' I wondered what that felt like. She danced so coolly that it made me naturally amazed.' J.Y. Park said, 'I want to extend the time,' and then explained, 'It's difficult to move people's hearts with dance because sound doesn't come from the mouth. You have to include accuracy, dance lines, flexibility, strength, control of dynamics, and most importantly, emotion at the end. If it were a scoring system, I would give her 100 points.' In the Jeonju local round, a 24-year-old participant, Shin Si-yeon, appeared. She performed J.Y. Park's 'Elevator.' She confidently stated, 'I can't believe I can show the stage in front of the original creator in my life. What a coincidence and connection this is.' Despite a mishap where her shoe came off during the performance, she demonstrated quick thinking and flexibility. After her barefoot performance, the original songwriter J.Y. Park pressed the pass button first, saying, 'I have performed a lot of sexy and sticky music, but I always disliked the feeling of being too much in it. There is none of that here. It's very special. There is no fake at all. It feels like you are looking at me. The atmosphere is.' Kim Ha-neul thought it would be good to choose someone like J.Y. Park Master, and Cha Tae-hyun praised, 'I remembered sister Cho Hae-ryeong halfway through. All kinds of appearances come out. I wanted to see a comical person, but she is the best among those I have seen so far.' Special master Baekho (NU'EST) also said, 'I am really scared of the momentum. I think she is someone who turned a really confusing situation into 'I did it, it was good.' Thank you for showing a good stage.'
