Lee Yong Shin, a participant in the 'Sing Again 2' OST group, was quietly eliminated. As a voice actor, he sang a song for the Japanese animation Moonlight Angel at a university festival in 2019, and gave his name with a hot reaction. He appeared as a singer behind the character on JTBC's 'Sing Again 2' broadcast on the 6th of last month.
The first broadcast trailer of Sing Again 2 was also expected to be staged by Lee Yong Shin. But even three weeks after the final qualifying round, he was not seen on the show, and his name was only on the list of dropouts released by the production team on the 27th.
“The unbroadcast stage of the participants who failed to reach the second round after a fierce contest will be released sequentially on the YouTube Singer Gain Full Publication channel,” the production team said. Lee Yong Shin has not been released yet.
Lee Yong Shin's full-editing left a pity: some viewers who expected to see his stage were later told he had been eliminated. Moreover, his stage scene appeared in the trailer for a while. I could not hide my sense of frustration.
Some have speculated that Lee Yong Shin's controversy in the past has made it a full-length editorial. Lee Yong Shin even promoted the release of the sound recordings thanks to the hot popularity at the time of his fame as the Moonlight Angel. The funding, which started for the official release of the sound recording, ended with a fund of 2,666.6 million won, 80 times the target amount.
The problem was that some of the people who participated in the funding at the time were fans of the work "Moonlight Angel" rather than Lee Yong Shin. Unlike the design presented by Lee Yong Shin at the time of funding, they took issue with the use of Lee Yong Shin's photographs and the missing name of Moonlight Angel. In addition, the funding fund was used for 'Lee Yong Shin Concert Returned Full Moon'. I felt uncomfortable that the donation for the Moonlight Angel was used by Lee Yong Shin.
Some netizens demanded a “fraud funding.” According to the All-Boyce, who led the funding, 15% of the first sponsors went through the refund process. In April last year, Oleboys sold additional refunds.
