She captivated judges immediately with her stage manner and excellent singing skills. When she performed "Rolling in The Deep" by British singer Adele in a preliminary event, two of the three judges -- BoA and Park Jin-young -- hurrahed, an event that even featured of CNN's coverage. Actor Ashton Kutcher also posted the footage on his Twitter account, and the CBS talk show "The Talk" asked Park to appear on the show. When she was picked as the winner, she said she felt like all her hard work had paid off.
Born in Daejeon, Park emigrated to Thailand with her family at the age of five. She seems to have inherited her talent from her parents, who were singers either in popular or Christian music genres.
"We heard that Park's parents like music, so they wanted their daughter to become a good singer as she grew up. They devoted themselves to her education. And Park learned swimming, ballet and golf from her childhood. The family came back to Korea so she could get a good education in music," SBS said.
Park received prize money of W300 million and a luxury car (US$1=W1,135). She will also get the opportunity to release an album through one of the nation's three major management agencies -- SM, YG or JYP.
Personally, I like Lee hi's performance more than Park ji min's in the final. Lee showed more complete stage than Park did. Park, her high voice is attractive but i felt she squeezed out high voice when she reached a climax.
the judges admitted that she made some mistakes but they awarded high grades to Park. I felt one of the judges "Park jin young" judged Lee's singing more strictly than Park's. That's unfair. Watching K-POP star, I felt high voice became the most important thing to be a good singer. That doesn't make sense.
I hope K-POP star season 2 can change their current system to pick out lots of people who have distinctive musical talents. It needs to be a chance for people to appeal their good talents and passion for music and not to be a battle field with music.
