Kim Hee-jae breaks down in tears during Lee Jin-a’s performance as she battles breast cancer.

The upcoming episode of TV CHOSUN’s ‘Miss Trot 4: Unreleased Special,’ airing at 10 PM on the 10th, will showcase contestant Lee Jin-a’s ‘1-on-1 deathmatch’ performance. Lee Jin-a, known for her crystal-clear, nightingale-like voice, has been inspiring viewers with her courageous fight against breast cancer. The show will reveal the incredible willpower and determination Lee Jin-a has mustered to take the stage while balancing chemotherapy and the competition, despite facing increasing physical challenges.

For this pivotal moment, Lee Jin-a will face off against Kim Hee-jin, a seasoned performer who secured 8th place in ‘Miss Trot 1.’ Before their showdown, the two will share a surprising connection: five years ago, Kim Hee-jin starred in a musical while Lee Jin-a sang in the chorus. Now, as they meet again as rivals, viewers are eager to see who will advance to the next round.

Lee Jin-a’s performance will move everyone to tears, from the judges’ panel to the contestants’ waiting room. Despite the grueling effects of chemotherapy, causing her to cry out, “My whole body aches,” Lee Jin-a will deliver a heartfelt rendition of Jang Min-ho’s ‘Shoe Laces’ after relentless practice.
