Sing Again 2, the second season of the hit competition/survival singing show for unknown or forgotten singers, has shared online some of the first-round performances that didn't make it to air and netizens were especially surprised to recognize Singer #1 (in line with the show's rules, all contestants are anonymous and referred to by numbers).
Singer #1 is of course, former MBLAQ member Thunder (Chundoong).
Chundoong's older sister Sandara Park later posted her thoughts on his appearance to her Instagram stories.

When Chundoong told me he was going on Sing Again, it felt really weird because I'm friends with so many of the judges and I avoided getting in touch with any of them until the taping was over
His scenes were edited out of the broadcast but still, thank you so much to Eana unnie and Heeyeol oppa and Lee Sunhee sunbaenim for their kind words and thank you to Mino for being curious about what kind of music he's doing thes days
And this goes without saying but of course they all put aside their friendships with me to judge fair and square
Dohyun oppa even apologized to meㅋㅋ That's not necessary
It must've been hard to sing and dance Y all by yourself. You practice so much and stay so committed to music, my dongseng and you worked so hard~ Great job~!!! Let's show off the songs and performances you had in mind for the future rounds bit by bit~!!! I'm always cheering for you! Hwaiting!!!

Date: 2022-01-14 01:23 pm (UTC)the 2nd gen interaction between Sunmi and Hyunyoung, damn! I loved A as a song, and seeing Hyunyoung perform it alone was bittersweet. but at least she got a chance to sing again, since only Jisook continued to sing which was such a waste.
