Kim Hee-jae breaks down in tears during Lee Jin-a’s performance as she battles breast cancer. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Lee Jin-a’s performance will move everyone to tears, from the judges’ panel to the contestants’ waiting room.
