Kang Seungyoon appeared as a Special Judge on the JTBC survival reality program MIXNINE that followed Yang Hyun Suk as he visited over 70 entertainment agencies nationwide to find the next big star. He appeared on Episodes 8-9, broadcast in December 2017 and joined the judging panel alongside Yang Hyun Suk, CL, and Zion.T to evaluate the performances from the audition’s second mission, “Formation Battle.”
Kang Seungyoon watched the performances closely and shared sincere words of praise and advice with them. As someone with first-hand experience in survival programs, having reached the top 4 of Mnet’s “Superstar K Season 2” in 2010 and appeared in “WIN: Who is Next” in 2013, Seungyoon dd his best to help the contestants.
Of course, debuting is important. And getting no.1 is also important through these competitions. ‘How much can my confidence grow’ you obviously will realize and think about. So, even though it might not to be a good result, I hope everyone will think that it was a good experience regardless
