Remember the news on Jung Seul Ki getting a contract with Brand New Stardom Entertainment after being dropped from the show, "Superstar K" on the fourth preliminary round?
Well it seems like Kim Hyun Ji (26), another fallen singer, will get a contract!
She can be mistaken as a boy, as she is a girl who has short hair like a guy, and has a tomboy image.
When she first stood on the stage to perform, she had a bad first impression, as she had no smiles and a bad body posture. It was to a point where the judges could have wondered if "this person is really here to audition". But she showed that her appearance is different from her skills, as she sang Roberta Flack's "Killing me softly with his song" perfectly, which surprised the judges as well as the viewers.
Judge Jang Yoon Jung then commented positively, saying, "There is something about her song which I cannot explain with words. She reveals her personal experiences through the song, showing a positive feeling."
Then Kim Hyun Ji revealed her past, saying that she had been assaulted by her father and had tough times growing up. She then said that with a hope of "music", she has been able to come to where she is now, which got netizens interested.
But on the round before the finals, she was disqualified. Yang Hyun Suk, president of YG Entertainment, who was a judge, started a controversy, as he commented, "I think she got a minus because she was too professional. Because of my taste of hip hop, I will pick Kim Mun Suk and Kim Dong Gyun, who did beatbox and rapping." The netizens then started to comment that, "Her disqualification had nothing to do with her talents" on Mnet's notice board, while they also started a petition campaign on portal site Daum.
A related source recently had an interview with the press, commenting that, "Kim Hyun Ji has been receiving love calls after she showed her skills. She recently signed a contract with a agency."
After the news on her debuting as a singer, some people have started to compare her with f(x) member Amber, as they both have the tomboy looks.
This is not all! People are now curious, as there is a rumor that more past/current participants of "Superstar K" will sign contracts.
