‘K-Pop Star’ BoA in Tears After Park Ji Min’s Performance [VIDEO]

Park Ji Min’s rendition of ‘You Raise Me Up’ was sung in tears.

SBS ‘K-Pop Star’ aired on April 22nd held the top 3 semi-final competition deciding the finalists’ stage.

Park Ji Min surprised everyone not only the judges, but the world as well from the beginning with her appearance on ‘K-Pop Star.’ BoA, Park Jin Young, and Yang Hyun Suk, have all gave her highest compliment, “You sing so well riding the rhythm at just 16 years old.”

After appearing in ‘K-Pop Star’ Park Ji Min shared that she grew 4cm taller, having thicker eyebrow and come to have wrinkles showing her liveliness. However yet there is still shadow of burden that is looming over her. She shared, “The first goal is to be in top 10. It was really hard,” she shared in tears. “I wanted to sing ‘You Raise Me Up’ and I won’t regret it even if I get eliminated. I will share the most touching stage.”

Park Ji Min who seemed to be overwhelmed with her emotions performed the entire song with tears whelming up.

BoA after the performance shared, “Ji Min is currently 16 years old. At that age I went to Japan alone and it was so hard.” She started to shed tears being touched by the performance. She continued, “At that time I really hated hearing ‘because you are BoA.’ You will do well because you are BoA. It was a lot of strength but at the same time really hated it. I think it must have been the same for Ji Min as well,” sharing her own emotion.

“Watching the stage I felt sad seeing you also performing in tears but I’m proud that you concluded the song until the end. It’s true that we have higher expectations since its Park Ji Min. However as you were in tears I gave a lower score,” however SM score turned out to be 99.

The top 3 finalists’ competition eliminated Baek Ah Yeon, having Park Ji Min and Lee Ha Ee move forward to the final stage. ‘K-Pop Star’ episode airing on April 29 as the last live broadcast will hold the competition to decide the final winner.
