MBN's variety show 'The Legendary Man' will be presented as a 'Queen's Successor' special in its 10th episode.

In the 10th episode, airing on the 16th, female singers Kim Soo-hee, Choi Jin-hee, and Lee Eun-ha will personally select their own successors from among the 'Unknown Legends' TOP7 (Seong-ri, Haru, Jang Han-byeol, Hwang Yoon-sung, Jung Yeon-ho, Lee Chang-min, and Irunae) and the new star candidates. MC Jang Min-ho introduced the special as an 'open audition for the Legend Kingdom Cup,' describing the gathering of the three singers—Kim Soo-hee, Choi Jin-hee, and Lee Eun-ha—in one place as a historic moment.

■ The First Stage Selects Lee Eun-ha's Successor… Seong-ri, Lee Chang-min, and Jung Yeon-ho Take the Stage

The first showdown is a stage to determine Lee Eun-ha's successor. MC Yang Se-hyung noted that Lee Eun-ha is a multi-talented figure who has worked not only as a singer but also as a lyricist and actress.

Seong-ri, Lee Chang-min, and Jung Yeon-ho took the stage. When Jang Min-ho asked each of the three candidates about their strengths, Jung Yeon-ho cited his skills at foot volleyball and vehicle maintenance, drawing laughter, and Lee Chang-min improvised the nickname 'foot-volley-tainer' for Jung Yeon-ho on the spot.

The contestants also tried their hand at acting, following Lee Eun-ha. When Yang Se-hyung offered the famous line from the drama 'The Heirs'—'Do I like you?'—as a mission, Seong-ri attempted a seductive concept performance, but Jang Min-ho hastily stopped her. Lee Chang-min delivered the same line as if completely drunk, and Lee Eun-ha made the set burst into laughter, saying, 'I'm going crazy. I'm in tears.'

In the main competition, Seong-ri, Jung Yeon-ho, and Lee Chang-min each reinterpreted Lee Eun-ha's hit songs in their own styles. In particular, Seong-ri presented 'Arithmetic (Arisonghae)' with a legendary-level performance, earning praise not only from Lee Eun-ha but also from Kim Soo-hee and Choi Jin-hee.

Seong-ri recently ranked high on portal site search rankings with her new song 'Sad Rain,' surpassing 2 million YouTube views and solidifying her position in the trot music scene.
